Detailed Description
We aim to develop and underpin materials characterisation techniques to examine the morphology, structure and chemical composition of materials at length scales, which can be as small as atomic dimensions. This constitutes a key aspect in understanding both a material’s physical behaviour, such as the electronic, thermal, magnetic and mechanical properties, and its chemical behaviour.
Working with business
LEMAS is the bridge between state-of-the-art academic research facilities and the needs of local industry, consultancy investigations, research organisations and business. If you need help in materials analysis we can advise on the appropriate techniques for your particular needs at the right cost. We have highly trained and qualified personnel with the necessary experience to provide a high quality, friendly and comprehensive service to both academic and industrial users.
