Thermogravimetry
Thermogravimetry
The synthesis of complex oxides requires a precise knowledge of their oxygen content. Said content determines the oxidation states of the cations that make them up, their crystallographic structure, the magnetic order, and therefore many of their electronic properties. The IMA has two CAHN electrobalances (D 200 and D 101) with a sensitivity of 10 -7 g and 10 -6 g respectively, which allow the determination and control of the oxygen content of materials with an accuracy of 0.002 (+ -2) in its stoichiometry.
