Methods

GEMS provides you with state of the art materials analysis well beyond the capabilities of standard laboratory equipment, applicable to a range of problems including

3-D imaging (radiography, tomography) Residual stress measurements Analysis of phase transformations Characterisation of nanostructured hard and soft matter samples

The experimental techniques available include

X-ray and neutron diffraction
Small angle X-ray and neutron scattering
X-ray and neutron tomography
X-ray and neutron reflectometry

Depending on your needs and experience with the techniques described above, we offer industry specific user support

Data analysis
Secrecy agreements
Materials science support labs (sample preparation and characterisation)
Custom in situ sample environments

One of the main expertise of GEMS is the examination of materials science processes in situ by measurements with synchrotron radiation. Therefore we design and provide custom sample environments like

Furnaces
Cooling devices
Stress rigs
Laser and friction stir welding devices
Dilatometer
