Other facilities available in our laboratory

Many of the conventional laboratory facilities for doing wet chemistry experiments are available in our lab, including a cold room, glove box, centrifuges, titrator, etc.

Facilities accessible to our group at the synchrotrons

Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. We use the sample assemblies and detectors available at the synchrotron for our X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies. More information can be obtained from the SSRL website:

Advanced Light Source. We use the Scanning transmission X-ray microscope, X-ray microprobe, and the soft X-ray spectroscopy beamlines (6.3.1, 6.3.2, 8.0.1, 9.3.2) for the majority of our studies. When necessary we also use the synchrotron infrared beamlines in our investigation. More information can be obtained from the ALS website:

Other facilities in the Geosciences Department and Princeton University

X-ray diffractometer, Raman Spectrometer, atomic force microscope, transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, BET surface area analyzer, Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrometer, ICP with mass spectrometry capabilities, ion-, gas-, and high-pressure-liquid chromatography systems, ultracentrifuge, and incubators for microbial research.
