Vibrational spectroscopy platform

Platform

Description

The vibrational spectroscopy platform is one of the eight instrumental clusters that constitute the Advanced Characterization Platform of the University of Lille. Our platform regroups the techniques of vibrational spectroscopy (Infrared and Raman) allowing the analysis of different types of samples (solids, liquids) in various forms (thin films, microparticles, powders, ...) and under various environments (most of them under atmosphere and in controlled temperature conditions). The analyses can be qualitative or quantitative (infrared spectrometry) and can be performed on organic or mineral samples. We propose services or collaborations for sample characterization, identification, reactivity analysis of molecules, etc. We also provide personal or group training in vibrational spectroscopy techniques.

Equipments

Our platform is equipped with:
• three Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometers including a vaccum spectrometer and equipped with the Rapid-scan and step-scan option for time resolved spectroscopy experiments dont un spectromètre sous vide et équipé d’un module permettant des acquisitions temporelles en mode Rapid-scan et step-scan
• one FTIR microspectrometer equipped with a FPA detector for chemical mapping
• one FT Raman spectrometer
• five Raman microspectrometers specially adapted for micro-sample characterization with a very wide range of spectral ranges (from 0.266 µm to 0.780 µm); all of them have the possibility to perform confocal Raman mapping with a spatial resolution in the µm range without special sample preparation
• Numerous accessories (Transmission cells, ATR accessory, DRIFT cell, ...) for the study of various samples
• Cells allowing the analysis of micro-samples under controlled atmosphere and temperature
