Our department houses state-of-the-art equipment for research and teaching purposes. We are constantly upgrading and acquiring new equipment as our faculty progress in their research activities and projects.

• Hitachi S-4700 Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope - available at UNR (Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering). The S-4700 has a guaranteed resolution of 1.5nm at 15 kV at the EDX and specimen exchange position. The instrument also offers excellent low kV performance with guaranteed resolution of 2.1 nm at 1 kV.
• JEOL 2100F Transmission Electron Microscope - available at UNR (Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering). The JEOL 2100F is an advanced Field Emission Electron Microscope featuring ultrahigh resolution and rapid data acquisition. The instrument has been developed to achieve the highest image quality and the highest analytical performance in the 200 kV class analytical TEM with a probe size under 0.5 nm.
• Atomic Force Microscope (AFM, Nano R2, Pacific Nano Technology) - available at UNR (Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering). It has the capability for contact, tapping and force mode imaging. It also has Kelvin Probe mapping and conductivity mapping. The second atomic force microscope ( Nanoscope IIIA) is used for mapping of surface topography.
