alpha300 R Installation at Graphene Nobel Prize Institute in Manchester, UK

May 12, 2011 – The condensed matter physics group at the school of Physics and Astronomy of University of Manchester recently received a new WITec alpha300 R Confocal Raman Imaging System to be installed in the lab-facility of 2010 Nobel Prize winners Prof. Andre Geim and Prof. Konstantin Novoselov.

The system is equipped with a 633 nm excitation laser and will be used for studies on graphene and other two-dimensional materials. Due to its extremely sensitive setup, it is ideally suited for the analysis of the crystalline and chemical properties of such materials.

WITec is pleased that its technology will play an important role in the institute’s imaging and Raman spectroscopy tasks.
