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.
This article looks at how researchers use temperature-controlled procedures with Linkam’s TS1500 to synthesize and characterize porous maghemite nanoparticles.
A study of soldering and brazing using both THMS600 and TS1500 stages to mimic industrial processes.
See how a unique setup using Linkam’s TS1500 allows researchers to perform beamline XRD analysis at high temperature at Diamond Light Source. Here, they use the new long-duration experimental beamline I11 to study phase formation kinetics of metal alloys, demonstrating a new technique for metallurgical studies.
Researchers used Linkam’s high TS1500 to quench silica glas from 1100°C, studying the resulting mechanical properties of the glass in order to undetsand the effects of heating, quenching and compression on the properties of glass.
Using Linkam’s high temperature stage TS1500, researchers look at the phase stability of nanocrystalline TiO₂ at temperatures up to 1000°C.
This article studies the impact of the binder material in industrial catalysts. Using the Linkam TS1500V to perform catalytic reactions at 250 and 300°C, the authors used operando spectrocopy and in situ confocal fluoroscence microscopy to show how different binder materials affect the final material composition.
With increased pressure on the electronics sector to deliver greener technology with uncompromised performance, materials research and development has stepped up to the fore.
