Description
The University of Sheffield is out to purchase a Thermogravimetric Analyser and Differential Scanning Calorimeter (TG-DSC) for the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
The required instrument must be capable of simultaneously analysing heat flow and changes in mass under heating. This enables the identification of phase transitions, structural transitions, thermal events such as combustion, significant mass loss events (e.g. loss of water from a system) and volatilisation of elements during heating. This range of information is vital for understanding the novel synthetic routes under development, and will also give insights into the kinetic vs thermodynamic processes which govern synthesis of functional materials. This covers a huge variety of timely research, in the case for functional oxides, including Li-ion and Na-ion battery materials, thermoelectrics, piezoelectrics, and future materials for fusion. Functional oxides are of perennial interest and are currently an area for growth with e.g. the EPSRC.
