Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
University of Alberta
$145,000.00
Ultra-sensitive high-pressure differential scanning calorimeter
FY 2009-10
Summary
We are requesting an ultra-sensitive high-pressure differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) capable of providing thermodynamic phase transformation data in extreme environments for microgram quantities of materials. The proposed equipment will support the research of Profs. David Mitlin, Adrian Gerlich and John Nychka who will use it to understand the phase transitions in a variety of complex materials. This system will be extensively utilized by over a dozen graduate students as well as by several undergraduates.
