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 found that metastable silicon states achieved by indentation remained stable up to 450 °C using a THMS600.
Read how the THMS600 is used in the analysis of glass sample in the Tulsa Forensics Department, USA.
A study of soldering and brazing using both THMS600 and TS1500 stages to mimic industrial processes.
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.
Zhao et al. used a Linkam THMS600 stage to investigate homogenisation temperatures of oil and gas inclusions in their paper to aid in the understanding of oil migration in petroliferous basins.
Researchers used Linkam’s THMS600 to investigate tailoring water structure with high-tetrahedral-entropy for antifreezing electrolytes and energy storage at −80 °C.
Researchers used Linkam’s THMS600 to investigate the multi-theremal stability of a hard thermoplastic protein-based material.

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 used a Linkam THMS600 to investigate the thermal expansion coefficient of few-layer MoS2 studied by temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy.
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.
