Research Group Homepage

The Condensed Matter Physics & Materials Science Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory offers a wide range of services to the Laboratory and its users. Services are paid for by Intra-Laboratory Requisition ( ILR ). The following is a list of materials characterization techniques which are available:

• TEM Analysis - including imaging, electron diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray analysis, and electron energy loss spectroscopy.
• SEM Analysis - including imaging, image analysis, and both quantitative and qualitative x-ray analysis.
• Scanning Auger - surface analysis, imaging, and depth profiling.
• X-Ray Techniques - X-ray powder diffraction and Laue Back-reflection.
• TGA-DTA
• Optical Microscopy - brightfield and polarized light microscopy to ~ 1500x magnification.
• Single Crystal Preparation - Cutting and polishing single crystals.
• Sample Preparation -Cross-sectioning and polishing of bulk samples.
• Mechanical Testing - Tensile and compression testing.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation of State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
