Goa University has set up a University Laboratory for Materials Characterization (ULMC) with assistance from Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) for researchers from the University campus, affiliated colleges and other research institutions.
The laboratory consists of state of the art facilities like X-ray Diffractometer, Raman Spectrometer, GC×GC and TOF Mass Spectrometer and SQUID magnetometer. In addition, it also has a liquid nitrogen production facility which will supply liquid nitrogen to the users. Recently, the laboratory has been augmented with two more instruments, FE-SEM and XPS, purchased out of DST-PURSE grants.
Instrument time will be available on prior booking and payment basis. The usage rates for different groups of users are as follows:
