Microscopy and Physical Properties
The group is adept at a wide range of materials characterisation that support process evaluation and failure analysis, through surface and cross-sectional imaging of micro to nano scale features, combined with crystallography as well as elemental composition and chemical bonding state identification. The group also performs electrical, magnetic and mechanical property tests. With growing capabilities built from solving challenges faced by our research counterparts as well as industry partners, we seek to contribute to advancements in understanding the structure-property relations of materials and their performance across various applications.

Surface Science and Chemical Analyses
The group focuses on surface and chemical analysis providing elemental, chemical and molecular information from surfaces and in-depth distribution with high sensitivity and high depth resolution. This allows for material composition analysis, identification and quantification of micro-contaminant which are essential for improving process control, product quality and developing new products in areas such as Electronics, Aerospace, Precision engineering, Chemicals, Food, Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology.
