International University’s nanotechnology
researchers are designing and developing prototypes
and testbeds in their quest toward scientific discoveries
and technological breakthroughs. Their research
has the potential to significantly advance the
nation’s electronic, information, sensor,
health care, defense and environment pollution-control
technology bases. |

Research
Laboratories
|
|
| |
Materials characterization is supported
by the Analytical Instrumentation Laboratory,
consisting of a field emissions SEM at 200 kev
TEM, atomic force microscope, and a focused ion
beam system. |
|
| |
High
Temperature Processing provides a broad range
of furnaces
and reaction atmospheres required in materials
research, including furnaces for high temperature
(1600o C) and controlled atmospheres (hydrogen,
inert, air). |
|
| |
The Mechanical Properties Characterization
Laboratory consists of a series of uniaxial and
biaxial stress strain machines for bulk property
determinations, to a nanoindentor for the evaluation
of mechanical properties of nano materials and
structures. |
|
| |
The Motorola Nanofabrication Research
Facility is among the few entities in the world
where functioning magnetic devices on a nano-scale
can be engineered and fabricated.

The Thermoanalysis Laboratory consists
of a full suite of TA instruments including a
differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), dynamic
mechanical analyzer (DMA), thermogravametric
analyzer (TGA), and thermomechanical analyzer
and dilatometer. A Holometrix Instruments flash
diffusivity system also allows characterization
of thermal conductivity for a wide range of materials. |
|
| |
The X-ray Characterization Lab
contains a Bruker 5000D, Bruker 500D, and Bruker
large-area detector microfocus x-ray spectrometer
with high temperature, high pressure, and thin
film attachments available for specialized analysis. |
| |
|
| |
Additional labs include the Particle
Characterizations Laboratory and Polymer Characterization
Laboratory.There are four additional laboratories
to support process developments. |
