Laboratory for Advanced Materials Science and Technology (LAMSAT)

Other Available Facilities

Other LAMSAT equipment

LAMSAT members have access to a vast assortment of equipment for constructing experimental apparatus involving optical, electrical, chemical and mechanical components.
The available optical and electrical equipment includes an ellipsometer, HeNe and CO2 lasers, optical tables, Michelson interferometer, 2D optical filter (patented), various spectrometers (UV-NIR), oscilloscopes, and power supplies from low DC to 40 kV, RF sources, DMMs and delay frequency generators.

LAMSAT also houses a variety of equipment for chemical work such as furnaces and hot plates, fume hoods, glove box, stock of common chemicals, hot water bath, centrifuges, precision balance, and die-punch-cold press assembly for target preparation.
A varied collection of spare parts for building high vacuum systems are also available such as pressure sensors, various cryogenic systems, LN2 cold traps, turbomolecular and roughing pumps...
