Spectroscopy and Surface Science Research Facility

Facility equipment

Spectroscopy

  • Anion Photoelectron Spectrometer - Elucidate details on intermolecular interactions between anions, radicals,
    and molecules, and probe for reactive species in the atmosphere, via spectroscopy
  • Matrix Infrared Spectrometer - trap and investigate species in an argon matrix, and probe via infrared spectroscopy
  • Time Resolved Nanosecond Fluorescence Spectroscopy - investigate energy relaxation pathways.
  • Nd:YAG pumped Dye Laser 205 – 710 nm, 5 ns pulse width, 0.04 cm-1 linewidth, static wavelengths (1064, 532, 355, and 266 nm for ablation, and other experiments)
  • Six dedicated workstations running Gaussian 09 and 16, CFOUR, Orca, GAMESS, and NWCHem, Spartan

Surface Science

  • XRD - material characterisation of the atomic crystal structure, size and phase identification
  • RF Magnetron Sputtering Systems - production of thin films on various substrates for a variety of applications, including the production of novel catalysts for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide gas (over 80 different sputtering targets)
  • E-Beam Evaporative Systems - production of thin films
  • SEM - morphological and elemental surface information
  • Electrochemical cells – H-cell for carbon dioxide reduction
