PL : Photoluminescence Spectroscopy (Make & Model – SHIMADZU, RF-6000)

Photoluminescence (PL) is a process, in which a substance absorbs photons (electromagnetic radiation) and then re-radiates photons. The dual monocromator based system provides enhanced sensitivity and dynamic range enable fluorescence as well as bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, and electro-luminescence measurements.
Important Features of the System:
Surface Profiler (Make & Model – Bruker, Dektak-XT)

Our stylus surface profiler is an advanced thin and thick film step height measurement tool. In addition to profiling surface topography and waviness, the system measures roughness in the nanometer range. Available with a standard manual sample-positioning stage or an optional automatic X-Y or theta stage, it provides a step-height repeatability of 5Å (<0.6 nm).
Important Features of the System:
Contact Angle Measurement System(Make & Model – KRUSS, DSA30B)

When an interface exists between a liquid and a solid, the angle between the surface of the liquid and the outline of the contact surface is described as the contact angle θ (lower case theta). The contact angle (wetting angle) is a measure of the wettability of a solid by a liquid. Our Drop shape analyzer is a robust instrument which can be used flexibly for the precise measurement of contact angle and surface free energy (SFE) using inbuild advance software.
Important Features of the System:
Thermal Vapor Deposition system(Make & Model – RAN-VAC CUSTOMIZED)

Thermal evaporation is a well-established technique for deposition of a wide variety of films with different compositions and thicknesses down to a single layer of atoms. It typically uses a resistive heat source to evaporate a solid material in a vacuum environment to form a thin film.
Important Features of the System:
Programmable Multi-Nozzle Spraying System (Make & Model – HOLMARC)

Programmable Multi-Nozzle Spraying System automates the process of multilayer spraying by using a software control stepper motor mechanism to move the spray head in the XY plane and controlled dispenser to achieve precise flow rate with a pressure for coating.
