General information:
The Laboratory, founded
in 1972, is an inter-university joint venture affiliated to the Jagiellonian
University. It is aimed at independent, cooperative and contracted research.
The Laboratory consists of 10 divisions. The divisions are located at the
Jagiellonian University (the Faculty of Chemistry, the Faculty of Mathematics
and Physics), at the Academy of Mining and Metallurgy (the Faculty of Materials
Science and Ceramics and the Faculty of Casting), and at the Institute
of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Some divisions are parts of larger research groups at the Jagiellonian
University or other scientific institutions. Conducting joint researches
the Laboratory develops and introduces modern instrumental techniques in
the academic community of the region. Thus the Laboratory is an integrating
factor for various scientific institutions in Kraków.
The Laboratory has
an Advisory Board consisting of 15 delegates from the academic and scientific
institutions of Kraków.
The
fields of research of the Laboratory include:
vibrational spectroscopy - IR and Raman
EPR spectrometry
high-resolution mass spectrometry
X-ray diffraction
surface spectroscopy
scanning probe microscopy (STM, AFM)
electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis
trace analysis
thermogravimetry - bulk and surface reactions in solids
X-ray emission spectroscopy
paper aging and its deacidification.
The research results
are published in international scientific journals - about 70 papers each
year - the majority in co-operation with other scientific institutions
in the Kraków region.
