Differential Scanning Calorimetry, DSC7

Location: HH Dow 2135

DSC analysis is used for measuring thermal transitions, such as melting point (Tm) and glass transition temperature (Tg), in a range of materials.

Fluorescence spectrophotometer, QM4

Location: HH Dow 2135

Fluorometer analyzes the fluorescent or phosphorescent properties of materials. This machine is also equipped with an integrating sphere, which can calculate a quantum efficiency.

Gel Permeation Chromatography, Waters 150

Location: HH Dow 2110

Measures molecular weight and its distribution from monitoring refractive index.

Langmuir-Blodgett Trough, Nima 112D

Location: HH Dow 2135

This micro Langmuir-Blodgett trough is designed for the deposition of LB layers by conventional vertical or horizontal dipping onto small substrates.

Thermomechanical anlysis, TMA7

Location: HH Dow 2135

Measures thermomechanical properties such as softening point and glass transition temperature of polymeric materials.

UV/Vis spectrometer Cary UV50

Location: HH Dow 2135

Measures UV/Vis absorption of solutions and transparent films.

150W Oriel Solar Simulator

Location: HH Dow 2167


Provides simulated sun light for organic photovoltaic cell characterization.

PTI TimeMaster Fluorescence Lifetime Spectrometer

Location: HH Dow 2135

The TimeMaster's pulsed nitrogen laser and strobic detector can measure fluorescent lifetimes in the ns and sub-ns range.  The laser can be tuned with interchangeable dyes and an equipped frequency doubler allows for excitation wavelengths below 300 nm.

Glove box with integrated spin coater, MBraun

Location: HH Dow 2135

Glove box provides inert condition to handle oxygen sensitive chemicals.
Spincasting for oxygen sensitive device fabrication or chemical reactions can be done in the glove box under inert condition
