THMS600 application notes
Researchers used Linkam’s THMS600 to evaluate catalytic spectroscopic cells as intrinsic kinetic reactors.
Learn how geologists use Linkam Stages to investigate fluid inclusions in ore samples.
In advance of the Mars landing on 18 February 2021, members of the Analytical Chemistry group at Universidad del País Vasco / Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (University of the Basque Country) in Leioa, Spain presented their research on how temperature controlled experiments (including Raman spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence and XRD analysis) can be used to characterise geological materials ranging from historical artefacts from the Roman empire to regolith samples from Mars.
The Korean Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) used Raman spectroscopy in combination with Linkam stages to study ice crystals and chemical processes in polar ice in order to better understand climate change.
Researchers at the University of Glasgow use the THMS600 to look at phase transitions in mixed liquid systems. Read the full case study here.
Researchers in Australia using a THMS600 found that metastable silicon states achieved by indentation remained stable up to 450 °C. The research has clarified how these indentation-formed phases of silicon evolve through metastable structures such as r8-Si, to nanocrystalline phases such as hd-Si and Si-XIII.

Researchers at CIEMAT, Spain and JRC, Germany published a study exploring the potential risks of storing highly-irradiated spent nuclear fuel when the fuel oxidises. A Linkam THMS600 stage was used to accurately control the temperature under a flow of dried air.
Researchers used Linkam’s THMS600 to investigate significant methane fluxing from magma–sediment interaction in the end-Triassic Central Atlantic Magmatic Province in Brazilian Amazonia.
Researchers have demonstrated a new highly-controllable method for fabricating high quality air-stable phosphorene films with a designated number of layers ranging from a few down to monolayer using Linkam’s THMS600.
