Type: CONTACT/Facility

English Language: YES

Restricted access: NO

Longer description:
- Production of dust analogues (several techniques: arc discharge, laser ablation, grinding of minerals, ices)
- Characterization (Spectroscopy, Electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, chromatography, mass spectroscopy)
- Processing (Thermal annealing, UV irradiation, Atom irradiation)
The Facility can provide spectroscopic data of analogues on a wide range (UV-mm), integrated with information on morphology (size, shape), chemical composition, and structure

It is possible to study (in situ) the spectral evolution of the samples with thermal annealing, UV irradiation and gas interaction
