NANO-ANALYTICAL PLATFORM
The Nano-Analytical Platform ( NAP ) was established to promote research excellence for nanoscale analysis by supporting a wide variety of multidisciplinary and cutting-edge research .
The platform hosts state-of-the-art analytical equipment , including a AFM , FESEM , VPSEM , HRTEM , XRD , Raman-PL , and TRPL which facilitate the imaging and analytical investigation of material from a wide range of scientific disciplines . It also houses a PLD system for the deposition process of epitaxial thin film and nanostructure materials .
NAP has been certified with ISO9001 since 2019 . With world class facilities , we offer a diverse range of research and commercial capabilities .
