 The Electronic and Optical Materials Processing Laboratory provides novel amorphous,
crystalline and thin film materials synthesis and
processing facilities, including several high temperature
furnaces (operating at temperatures up
to 165O C), a ten-ton hot press for pressing
powders up to temperatures of 2200X, sol-gel
processing and spin coating equipment, routine
laboratory equipment for powder mixing and
size classification sieves, and casting equipment
for shaping samples. Characterization equip-ment
includes thermal analysis, cryostat for
superconductivity evaluation, a Brookfield viscometer
for viscosity measurements, and appa-ratus
for measuring density and microstructure
on an optical resolution scale. Sintering equipment
for densifying electronic ceramics and
optical materials is also available. | Bioprocess Engineering Laboratories |
