Instruments
We have experimental instruments in Chem. West Bldg and Science 4th Bldg. In addition, we frequently go on a official trip to common-use facilities for advanced experiments. You can also see the list of common-use facilities we often use.
X-ray diffractometer, R-AXIS IV++ (Rigaku)
@ Room 1716, Science Bldg. 4
X-ray diffractometer XtaLAB Synergy
@ Room 1716, Science Bldg. 4
This is an X-ray diffractometer utilising Mo Ka radiation with 3-axis goniometer, which is capable of analysing single-crystal samples as well as powders. With diamond anvil cells, we can even collect diffraction patterns under high-pressure conditions.
Benchtop powder X-ray diffractometer MiniFlex (Rigaku)
@ Room 2703, Chem. West Bldg.
You can examine crystal structure of materials by powder X-ray diffraction easily. We typically use this diffractometer to check purity of the samples we synthesised.
FT-IR spectrometer
@ Room 1716, Science Bldg. 4
Confocal micro-Raman spectrometer
@ Room 1716, Science Bldg. 4
Liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer, LCMS-8045 (Shimadzu))
@ Room 1725, Science Bldg. 4
Differential scanning calorimeter DSC8000 (Perkin Elmer)
@ Room 2703, Chem. West Bldg.
The heat transfer within changes of state of a material can be quantitatively investigated.
Scanning probe microscopes
@ Room 2703, Chem. West Bldg.
