SOLID STATE AND ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS UNIT (SSEAU) Elemental Analysis: Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry, combustion/oxidation analysis of organic C, H, N, S, and O. Surface Analysis: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS and UPS) and time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Structural Analysis: crystallography and X-ray diffraction (XRD) of powders and thin-films. CHRONOS 14CARBON-CYCLE FACILITY Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) for radiocarbon (14C) dating (facility under construction). ACCESS COSTS Access costs can be found under "related documents" to the right of this page. For XRF and combustion analysis costs please contact Irene Wainwright VIRTUAL TOUR Take a virtual tour of our surface analysis and single-crystal XRD laboratory. Referencing and Acknowledgement It is a condition of use that the SSEAU be acknowledged in all publications and communications which result from access to our facilities and expertise. This information is required for reporting to funding bodies and provides a means of measuring our impact and is essential for the SSEAU’s continued support and expansion of its capabilities. Let us know when you publish! The acknowledgement may take the following forms: The authors acknowledge use of facilities in the Solid State & Elemental Analysis Unit at Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre. The authors acknowledge use of facilities and the assistance of <Name of SSEAU staff member/s> in the Solid State & Elemental Analysis Unit at Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre. For supervisors and project leaders, please kindly email us a complete list of your publications using SSEAU facilities to Chris Marjo (c.marjo@unsw.edu.au), Head of SSEAU, at the end of each calendar year.
