Facilities

Below is the range of facilities held by the group. The facilities are open to external users. For further information or for inquiries about access fees, please contact Fabien (f.massabuau@strath.ac.uk).

Photoluminescence

A photoluminescence suite with lasers covering the UV and visible range, and a cold finger for acquisitions between 10-300 K. Available light sources:

  • Lasers at 224, 325, 355, … nm
  • Laser driven light source (continuous spectrum 170 nm – 2500 nm)

UV-vis spectrophotometry (integrating sphere)

The UV-vis spectrophotometer allow to record transmittance and (specular and diffuse) reflectance measurements over the 190-900 nm range. Features include:

  • integrating sphere
  • standard transmittance stage
  • rotating holder stage
  • solid sample holders
  • cuvette sample holders

Photoconduction setup

Our probe station is equipped with a range of light sources to record steady-state photocurrent and photoconduction transients at different wavelengths in the 200-700 nm range.
