Description
The facilities include a wide range of apparatus for production,
potential scale up and characterization of nanostructures.
Facilities for production of nanostructures includes: a chemical
vapor deposition oven system for production of carbon
nanostructures, radio frequency generated plasma systems to scale
up production of metal nanoparticles, rapid expansion of saturated
solution (RESS) of fluids for production of nanocrystals, as well
as facilities to chemically make and coat metal nanoparticles in
oxygen free environments.
The available facilities/equipment that can be used to characterize
energetic materials and formulations include: atomic force
microscope; scanning tunneling microscope; MicroRaman; Chemical
Vapor Deposition Oven; photo correlation spectroscopy; Rapid
expansion of saturate supercritical fluids; magnetic resonance;
x-ray diffraction; X-Ray Photo Electron Spectroscopy; Picosecond
spectroscopy.
