The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology's Laboratory for Energy and Nano-Science (LENS) has acquired Asylum's MFP-3D standalone atomic-force microscope (AFM).
The Abu Dhabi-based institute has also acquired the instrumented Nanoindenter to perform research aimed at improving the efficiency of thermoelectric materials and developing non-destructive tools for the thin-film characterisation of photovoltaics.
The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology is dedicated to the research and development of sustainable energy solutions.
The MFP-3D-SA will be used for the 3D measurements of different solid-state materials at the nanometer scale.
The MFP Nanoindenter is a true instrumented indenter and will be used to investigate the mechanical properties of nanostructures and for a frequency-domain thermo-reflectance experiment for measuring the thermal properties of homogenous materials and sub-micron thin films.
