• VG Scientific Escalab MKII
• Physical Electronics PHI 5600-ci
• VG Scientific Escalab 220i XL

Overview:

Xray photoelectron spectroscopy allows the analysis of surface composition. The Axis-Ultra and Escalab MKII models are multifunctional equipments coupling many characterization techniques: XPS, ISS and ASM (Axis-Ultra),  XPS, SIMS, ISS and ASM (Escalab MKII).

Available models:

• JEOL JAMP-30 Auger
• Omicron Nanotechnology NanoSAM

Overview:

Equipement capable of semi-quantitative mapping of chemical composition (surface and profile). The Omicron Technologies is a model unique in the wolrd equipped with an EBDS detector in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) with a lateral resolution of 10 nm. The JOEL model allows in-situ rupture of samples with liquid helium for the analysis of the ruptured surface without contamination.

Overview:

The time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (ION-TOF Gmbh NR-9200HR) is unique in Quebec for the analysis of chemical surface components, including fragile elements such as proteins. The resulting analyses have high mass resolution (0.0001 uma) and detection limits (ppb).

En bref:

The equipment is unique in Quebec for the quantitative and non-destructive analysis of atomic concentration profiles without the use of standards. Elements from carbon to uranium are detected with a sensitivity ranging from 0.001 at% to 10 at%.

Overview:

The equipement is unique in Canada for the quantitative and non-destructive atomic profile analysis without the use of standards. A large spectrum of elements is detected, from hydrogen to uranium, with a sensitivity between 0.1 at% to 1 at%.
