Surface Science Characterization
Diamond Characterization
NCD Technologies is fortunate to be tightly connected with the world class UW Madison school of Engineering, allowing us to utilize the multi-million dollar Material Science Center with its top of the line surface science instrumentation. Here are some of the surface science techniques that we use:
- Scanning electron microscope w/XRD – imaging and chemical analysis
- RAMAN – Diamond quality and stress analysis
- White light interferometer – roughness and form analysis
- X-ray photon spectroscopy – Chemical analysis with mapping capabilities
- Alicona – 3d imaging with roughness measurements
- Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
- Auger Spectroscopy
- NanoIndentation
- White Light INeterfermoetery (WLI)
- Hardness Testing
- Tribology and Wear Testing
