Nano-Analytical Platform
The Nano-Analytical Platform (NAP) was established to promote research excellence for nanoscale analysis by supporting a wide variety of multidisciplinary and cutting-edge research. NAP hosts state-of-the-art analytical equipment, namely AFM, FESEM, VPSEM, HRTEM, XRD, Raman-PL, and TRPL which facilitate the imaging and analytical investigation of material from a wide range of scientific disciplines. NAP also houses PLD system for the deposition process of epitaxial thin film and nanostructure materials. NAP has been certified with ISO9001 since 2019. With world class facilities, we offer a diverse range of research and commercial capabilities. We welcome samples from industries, research institutions, and universities as well as collaborations with researchers from the region and across the globe.
Our expertise is in providing nanoscale analytical services and solutions to both academia and industry through state-of-the-art material characterization. The platform offers extensive facilities and instruments to support the fabrication and characterization of advanced materials with particular emphasis on nanoscale materials and nano-systems:
