UC SANTA BARBARA Gordon Lab

Lab

Our lab is equipped with a variety of custom-built optical systems and scanning probe microscopy instruments to interrogate surfaces and nanomaterials under different conditions, as well as several plasma systems for nanomaterial synthesis and materials modification. We also have additional equipment for characterization, catalytic testing, electrochemistry, and materials deposition.
