Supertools

Several of the tools within Complex are designed and  built  within the group and used  in table-top  experiments.  This   page   describes  these tools as well as other important large-scale instrumentation that we employ in our research Light and electro-optical tools Light   and  electro optical  techniques  are important  tools  to  study  biopolymers,  colloids,   diffusion and   turbulence.   The light scattering  facilities  within  Complex  are  described   under  this page
Mechanical and rheological tools
Microscopy and image processing Complex   has  at is  disposal   several  advanced   microscopes and  cameras.  Several  experiments   requires  ultra  fast recording  with high   spatial resolution.    The   group  also posses  an  advanced  infrared camera
Neutron tools The neutron beams from the JEEP-II research reactor at IFE, Kjeller are used for finding the atomic or nanostructure of new materials. More...
Scanning probe microscopy Scanning probe microscopes such as the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) are important tools for imaging and materials characterization at the nanoscale. Such instruments are available in our labs both at NTNU and IFE.
X-ray and VUV tools X-rays are important probes for characterizing the internal structure of many of the materials we study. Of special importance is the use of very high brilliance apparatus (synchrotrons), such as ESRF in Grenoble, France.
