Labs and Techniques

Chemistry lab: where we do the synthesis

Synchrotron Radiation Facilities

We visit (virtually now under COVID) multiple synchrotron radiation facilities to conduct X-ray spectroscopy studies on the materials we made.

Canada's National Research Facility which provides the brightest light (from IR to hard X-ray) in Canada.

The Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory (US) offers superior X-ray sources and many capabilities for materials characterizations.

Taiwan Light Source and Taiwan Photon Source provides excellent X-ray sources covers soft to hard X-ray.
