Tom
Williams, Ph.D.
Laboratory Director
McClure 325
(208) 885-6785
Primary
Services:
The Materials
Characterization Laboratory operates the Scanning Electron
Microcopy [SEM/EDS], powder x-ray diffraction [XRD] and ICP-AES
facilities for the COS. These
facilities are available to the college and the entire UI campus on
user-fee basis. Tom’s
primary duties are the operation and management of instruments and
their support facilities. Tom
also trains faculty and students to operate instruments, in sample
preparation techniques, and assists in interpretation of data.
The SEM lab provides the ability to gather
high-magnification digital images of a variety of minerals, metals,
and biological samples as well as microbeam chemical analysis and
compositional x-ray mapping. The
XRD provides the capability for simple, non-destructive
determination of crystal structure information for mineral, soil,
metallurgical and materials samples.
The ICP-AES is employed for detailed chemical analysis of a
variety of aqueous solutions. The ICP can analyze solutions for most elements down to the
ppm level.
In addition Tom works closely with Franklin Bailey
and the URO’s Electron Microscopy Laboratory.
He also act as a liaison between COS users and the Electron
Microprobe Laboratory at Washington State University.
Additional
Academic Services:

duties, Tom teaches the following courses:
