Notice Title

3629/JN - Spectroscopic Ellipsometer with Mapping Capability

Notice Description

The University of Sheffield's Faculty of Science with funding from EPSRC, are looking to procure a spectroscopic ellipsometer with mapping capability. The instrument will be used for the characterisation of a wide range of materials including metals, dielectrics, molecular materials, polymers and biological materials. It will be used to characterise the optical properties of surfaces, thin films, multicomponent structures, and patterned and microstructured materials. These materials are of interest because of their optical, electronic, biological and other properties; characterisation by spectroscopic ellipsometry will yield information on their optical constants, micro- and nano-morphologies and dynamic phenomena, including chemical and biological interactions and responses to changes in the medium and temperature. This is an open exercise. The ITT can be downloaded by registering and expressing your interest on the University's e-tendering system https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffield If you have any questions or comments in relation to this tender they must be submitted via the In-tend system, this can be accessed at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffield Completed tenders must be returned through the same e-tendering system.
