Materials

Your Advanced Platform for Cutting-Edge Materials Characterization
Operating state-of-the-art instruments for microstructural analysis of materials (nanomaterials, semiconductors, quantum materials, surfaces, interfaces, powders, devices, etc.) — from grains to atoms, including interfaces.
3IT.Materials is an interdisciplinary platform dedicated to materials characterization at all scales. Our expertise covers the analysis of a wide range of materials:
- Nanomaterials (nanoparticles, nanopowders, membranes, catalysts, etc.)
- Materials for microelectronics (semiconductors, thin films, etc.)
- Quantum materials (superconductors, topological insulators, etc.)
- Surfaces and interfaces (coatings, passivations, etc.)
- Functional powders and composites
- Integrated devices (MEMS, sensors, hybrid modules, etc.)
Mission
To determine the morphology, crystalline structure, and chemical nature at relevant scales — from grains to atoms, including interfaces — by providing both advanced measurement services and specialized training.
