SumDU scientists in quarantine conditions have an opportunity to conduct research through methods of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray microanalysis, x-radiography, spectrophotometry and chromatography with the help of the Centre of core facilities “Laboratory of material science of solar power system, sensor and nanoelectronic systems”.

“During quarantine, communication with the owners of the services of research is conducted in a distance mode. The company passes us the patterns through specially designated areas and the Centre’s operators process them, conduct research with the help of respective devices. If it is necessary, we organize live video broadcasting of the process via specific Google online platforms. The customer receives the results through the access to cloud storage”, - the Head of the Centre Viacheslav Zhurba explained.

For today the Centre operators accomplished over 1000 orders from the university subdivisions to conduct research on electron microscope and x-ray diffractometer. These devices are used mostly by the scientists from the Medical Institute, the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technologies and the Faculty of Technical Systems and Energy Efficient Technologies of Sumy State University”, - Viacheslav Zhurba noted.

For your reference. The Centre of core facilities “Laboratory of material science of solar power system, sensor and nanoelectronic systems” is a subdivision of the scientific and research unit of SumDU. For almost two years now it provides scientists and students of SumDU with services, and it is also accessible to other HEIs and unauthorized personnel.

Material and technical recourses of the Centre include modern scanning electron microscope SEO-SEM Inspect S50-B equipped with energy dispersive spectrometer AZtecOne with detector X-MaxN20, transmission electron microscope ПЕМ-125К, X-ray diffractometer ДРОН-3М, spectrophotometer Lasany LI-722, XFS ElvaX Light SDD and liquid chromatograph Agilent 1200.
