Thermogravimetric analysis of organometallic compounds and semiconductor/metal nanoparticles

The work to be carried out under this proposal involves the routine analysis of a variety of organometallic and nanoparticulate materials using thermogravimetry (TGA). The data will then be used in conjunction with information from other instruments (e.g. XPS and NMR) to determine the elemental composition of the material in question. The amount of work will be light usually between 10-15 hours per month.
