Equipment for characterization of thermal and morphological properties of materials

The equipment is dedicated to the characterization of thermal and morphological properties of materials. The equipment for the characterization of thermal properties of dispersed and bulk materials includes three modules: the equipment for simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) coupled with a quadrupole mass spectrometer in the temperature range from room temperature to 1600 °C and a differential dynamic calorimeter for the temperature range, from -180 °C do 650 °C. The equipment for the characterization of morphological properties of dispersed samples, the laser granulometer, enables measurements of particle size in a broad size range from 10 nm to 4 mm on the principle of light diffraction.

Responsible for equipment: PhD Barbara Malič
The equipment for the characterization of thermal and morphological properties of materials is installed at the Electronic Ceramics Department, Jožef Stefan Institute. The researcher responsible for the equipment ensures that it is operational, maintained and regularly serviced. The equipment is accessible to users who agree with the researcher-in-charge on the details of the analyses performed in person, by telephone, or by e-mail.
