Facilities

The Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory (OCL) houses the only accelerator in Norway for ionized atoms in basic research. The laboratory serves as an experimental center for various fields of research and applications. The main field of research is within nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry. In addition, isotopes are produced for nuclear medicine.

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR/ESR) spectroscopy is a unique technique for identifying radicals and other paramagnetic substances.

The bioimpedance lab is equipped for impedance measurements in a broad frequency range, spanning from mHz to GHz. We study both linear and non-linear electrical properties. Furthermore, equipment for water sorption studies and near-infrared spectroscopy. We have expertise in electrode systems and measurements on humans, organs, cells, food, other biological tissues and inorganic materials.

NorFab provides access to state-of-the-art laboratories for Norwegian researchers, supporting and enabling research and innovation within micro- and nanotechnology.

The laboratories at 4D Space are developed and equipped to assemble, inspect, calibrate and test instruments. The main focus is space instrumentation, but other disciplines are of course possible.

The aim of the Norwegian laboratory for silicon-based solar cell technology  (Solarlab), is to coordinate and unify cutting-edge infrastructure into an "openlab facility" in Norway, combining facilities at UiO, SINTEF, IFE and NTNU.

We conduct "frontier research" for the entire PV-chain with the main focus on silicon production, crystallisation and wafering. By coordinating and unifying the infrastructure, Norwegian research groups and companies will more easily work together in a high-tech environment, gaining the in-depth knowledge base necessary to assume and maintain leading positions in the development of future PV technologies.

The node at the University of Oslo hosts two Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM) that are part of the NORTEM national infrastructure. The instruments are fully equipped for structural, compositional and optoelectrical characterization of materials. We additionally have holders and systems for performing experiments at high and low temperatures, in-situ electrical biasing, and for studying in-operando solid-gas reactions.

The Instrument Laboratory is a mechanical workshop that serve primarily the faculty of mathematics and natural sciences as a partner in developments and prototyping of new instruments for experimental sciences.

The lab in Forskningsparken houses a JEOL JIB-4500, a dual-beam focused ion beam (FIB) that allows sample preparation and investigation. The system is equipped with a Kleindiek micro manipulator needle, as well as a Kleindiek two-point electrical characterization system. The system is often used in conjunction with TEM-lamella fabrication.

The flow laboratory together with the friction and interface lab from the Dept. of Geosciences provides high quality of analysis for UiO researchers and external partners. The laboratory also provides teaching at the Dept. of physics. The laboratory is used in the physics department to analyze different types of samples ranging from monitoring crystal growth to the characterization of biological materials.

PoreLab is a Norwegian Center of Excellence created in 2017 and situated at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, and the University of Oslo (UiO). It focuses on the physics of porous media using experimental, theoretical and computational methods.
