Research Labs

The Institute for Nanoscience and Engineering has a group of facilities that is unique among universities.

We encourage industry collaboration on new and existing research and development needs. Our user facilities are open to users upon completion of training on a wide range of capabilities. The techniques available include cutting-edge x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, confocal microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM), including an exclusive high-speed AFM capable of video rate imaging.

The structure, chemistry and surface properties of crystalline and biological materials can be characterized by these tools in multiple ways both at the macro and nanoscale, providing a rich dataset of information that can be utilized to solve problems in a range of scientific arenas.  Additionally, we have facility service centers that employ our experts in materials growth, electrical and optical characterization.

Facilities open for external/internal users:

Facility service centers, open to external/internal collaboration:

  •  Arkansas Electrical Characterization Laboratory
  • Optical Characterization Laboratory
  • Molecular Beam Epitaxy (materials growth)
  • Bio/Nano Technology
  • Terahertz Imaging and Spectroscopy
  • Theoretical Modeling

Please see our User Facilities and Facility Service Center sections for more information on instrumentation and contact information, and rates.  Contact us today for a tour of the facilities and meet with our staff on your research and development needs, 479-575-4187, nanoinst@uark.edu.
