Environmental Mineralogy and Biogeochemistry Labs

The Environmental Mineralogy and Biogeochemistry Labs are an integrated laboratory suite designed for studying the formation of nature-inspired and synthetic mineral phases, and their interactions with nutrients and contaminants. This facility is th…
Geochemistry Laboratories

The research done in section 3.1 demands precise and accurate analyses of element concentrations and isotope ratios in a wide range of materials (minerals, rocks, fluids and gas) and on samples as tiny as 1 micron in diameter and with just picograms…
Hydrothermal Diamond-Anvil Cell

The hydrothermal diamond-anvil cell (HDAC) can be applied to study fluids, solids and particularly aqueous samples _in situ_ at high pressures and temperatures. Although such cells are usually used at P-T conditions of less than 3 GPa and 850 °C, ex…
IHPV - Internally Heated Pressure Vessel

In principle, an internally heated pressure vessel (IHPV) consists of a thick-walled pressure vessel sealed by closure plugs at the ends. In addition, there is a pressure inlet/outlet as well as several electrical leads into the vessel for power sup…
KTB - German Continental Scientific Deep Drilling Programme In Windischeschenbach, Germany (Kontinentale Tiefbohrung)

The Continental Deep Drilling Program of Germany (in German: Kontinentales Tiefbohrprogramm der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, abbreviated as KTB) was a scientific drilling project near the town of Windischeschenbach, Bavaria. The KTB Depth Laboratory …
Light Microscopy Tools

Optical microscopes are available in the Microscopy Lab for different techniques, such as brightfield, polarization contrast, fluorescence. The microscopes can also be equipped with the following cameras: Sony Alpha 6000 digital camera and Kern ODC-…
Mineral Synthesis and Transformation Lab

This integrated laboratory suite is designed for studying the formation of nature-inspired and synthetic mineral phases, and their interactions with nutrients and contaminants. It is equipped with two anaerobic chamber workstations, small-scale chem…
Mineralogy/Biogeochemistry Tools

The Environmental Mineralogy and Biogeochemistry Labs are equipped with a very diverse suite of spectroscopic and scattering instruments to determine material chemical composition, structure, surface area and grain size of both synthetic and natural…
Raman Spectroscopy Laboratory

The laboratory is equipped with two confocal high-resolution Raman spectrometer systems to study fluid and solid samples (from single point analyses and line scans to two- and three-dimensional Raman imaging) at ambient pressure and temperature and …
Rock Preparation and Mineral Separation

The section is well equipped for rock crushing, sieving and milling, preparation of thin and polished sections and grain mounts, and mineral separation by gravimetric and magnetic methods. We maintain central facilities and equipment for cleaning, c…
Thermal Petrophysics Lab

The Thermal Petrophysics Laboratory offers a wide range of measurement methods, primarily for determining the thermal properties of rocks and minerals.

In addition, mineralogical and other petrophysical parameters can be determined. The following…
X-Ray Diffraction Methods

For X-ray diffraction characterisation of solid materials, we hold two STOE STADI-P powder-X-ray diffractometers. Collected pattern are processed with the GSAS-software for Rietveld refinement.

For the crystallographic orientation of single cryst…
X-Ray Powder Diffraction Analysis (XRD)

An X-Ray Diffraction analysis is a method in which a beam of X-Rays is usually directed at a fine powder of randomly oriented grains of crystalline substances. The X-Rays are scattered in directions that depend on the crystal structure of the sample…
