Technical means

The team's resources (own and shared) include the following equipments :

Experiments and devices located in the IAS buildings:

•  A clean room ISO 7 with an ISO 5 laminar flow. This room includes:

- A motorized micromanipulator (Quick pro Microsupport) for preparing samples ranging in size from ~10 µm to a few millimeters.

- A macroscope (Leica) and a microscope (Nikon).

- UV-Visible-Near Infrared spectrometers using fibers.

• A Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, MIR by transmission (VERTEX 70) to which can be connected:

- A high-temperature, high-pressure environmental cell [300, 1000 K] and up to 69 bar (see Pronext).

- A gas supply line via a cylinder for mixtures (buffer volume) feeding the Pronext cell.

• A Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, MIR by transmission (INVENIO-R).
• A high-vacuum sputtering evaporator (for the synthesis of thin films of silicates or other materials).
• A device for the production of organic films of various compositions using microwave-induced plasma discharge.
• A high-performance liquid chromatography device (HPLC) (Dionex) coupled with a UV-visible diode array spectrograph.
• Microwave hydrogen discharge lamps (VUV source).

Shared experiments and devices :

• The INGMAR device in collaboration with IJCLab (located in building 108, connected to the SIDONIE accelerator, IJCLab) which includes:

- A vacuum chamber.

- A cryostat.

- A UV-Visible-Near Infrared fiber spectrometer and an FTIR spectrometer.

• Infrared hyperspectral imager (Cary 670/620) with its internal source (Globar) installed in the SMIS line of the SOLEIL synchrotron.
• Bolometer - cooled with liquid helium on FTIR spectrometer (SMIS SOLEIL line).
• Scanning electron microscopy (installed in the GEOPS laboratory) – FEG-ESEM equipped with Dual EDS / µ-XRF coupling.
• Transmission electron microscopy (MET 200 keV JEOL/EDS/STEM), equipment installed at CentraleSupélec.
