The Instrument Division of Core Facility Center, formerly known as the NSTC Instrument Center at NCKU, operates a diverse range of instruments. These include various low temperature and high-magnetic field systems, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometers, Mass Spectrometers (MS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometers (XPS), X-ray Diffractometers (XRD), and both Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopes (SEM/TEM). These large instruments enable high-level analysis of various materials, covering chemical structures, crystalline lattices, surface morphology, elemental composition, magnetic behavior, and various types of phase transitions.
In addition to the fundamental measurement service including case studies, this introduction also promotes our advance services, such as:
• In-situ Transmission Electron Microscopy (In-situ TEM)
• AFM-based Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM)
• High-Pressure Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction
In-situ TEM excels at capturing high-resolution images and real-time video of dynamic events, providing invaluable insights into structural changes during electrochemical reactions. On the other hand, AFM-based SECM offers the direct observation of electrochemical activity correlated with surface morphology, revealing sub-micron spatial resolution. For researchers investigating lattice parameter variations and phase transitions within a pressure range of 10 GPa, the High-Pressure Single-Crystal X-ray Diffractometer provides precise structural characterization, including the analysis of atomic positions, bond lengths, and bond angles.
