Short Description: Two high temperature furnaces with graphite heating (Thermal Technologies 1000-3560-FP2, Gero). 2 High temperature furnaces with Kanthal heating (Linn HT-1800-Vac, Nabertherm).		Picture of the Equipment
Available Experiments/Techniques: Synthesis at high temperatures (up to 2300 °C). Synthesis under different atmospheres (argon, nitrogen, helium) and vacuum.
Special Equipment: Refractory crucible and tube materials (graphite, boron nitride, corundum). Arc welding of tantalum ampoules for volatile metals.
Measurements on the equipment are currently done by:		Students after extensive training Trained scientific service personal
