Functional purpose of the equipment
X-ray fluorescence analyzer - for rapid and precise analysis of the elemental composition of materials.<br /> X-ray diffractometer - for conducting research at high temperatures, establishing the phase composition and fine (crystallite) structure of materials.<br /> A modern complex for electrochemical research based on the AUTOLAB PGSTAT 302N potentiostat/galvanostat - for conducting impedance electrochemical spectroscopy, studying corrosion resistance and electrocatalytic activity of new electrode materials, sorption-desorption of hydrogen by nanocomposite materials, etc.<br /> Nanoindenter - for determining the spectrum of mechanical characteristics (nanohardness, modulus of elasticity, etc.) of thin layers or small areas of the surfaces of the materials under investigation with the application of small forces and movements.
Motivation of the need for equipment
Expanding the spectrum of the Center's equipment, which is related to the study of the surface and nanostructure of materials of various functional uses.
