Facilities provided at cmem@unm
The CMEM owns or has access to highly specialized research
facilities in addition to the usual facilities and equipment found in a
major scientific and engineering university.Center laboratories provide
state-of-the-art facilities for the generation and characterization of
powders, mesoporous materials, nanomaterials, thin films and coatings.
The major facilities for materials characterization feature small angle
X-ray scattering powder and thin film X-ray diffraction, scanning
electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy, secondary ionization mass spectrometry and
high temperature thermal analysis. The Center also provides a complete
particle characterization laboratory and a catalyst research
laboratory.The Advanced Materials Laboratory plays a major role in the
Center’s research program. The AML, a 45,000 square feet
research
laboratory jointly sponsored by UNM and Sandia National Laboratories,
provides Center researchers additional leading edge facilities for
materials synthesis, processing and characterization.
