Platforms

This platform brings together characterization tools providing access to chemical, structural, and microstructural information on scales ranging from hundreds of microns down to the nanometer.

This platform is used to characterise powder texture.

ICP spectrometry is a multi-element analysis technique (major, minor, and trace elements) with a detection limit in the order of ppb (µg/L). Measurements are conducted on different types of matrices: liquid solutions (water, brines) after adequate dilution; solid samples (natural or synthetic powders, rocks, plants) after alkaline fusion or acid dissolution.

The platform is equipped with 14 high-tech devices to meet all requirements in thermal analysis and calorimetry. It is possible to monitor the behavior of solids, bulk materials, and powders subjected to controlled temperature and gas pressure conditions.

Two techniques are represented: X-ray absorption tomography and X-ray diffraction on powders or bulk samples.

Brings together all resources for the development of model materials and structures for the LGF laboratory. Specifically, it possesses equipment for the production of high-purity metallic alloys, ceramic materials using innovative processes (additive manufacturing, microwave sintering...), and organic matrix structural composites through direct fabrication processes. In conjunction with the MSM platform, a metallography service offers microstructural characterization capabilities.

SEM, TEM, XRD, thermal analysis, spectroscopic and chemical analysis (XPS, Raman, FTIR, ICP).
