RESEARCH and DEVELOPMENT

The Research and Development (R&D) facility at LTS Research Laboratories, Inc. is an advanced analytical and development laboratory. Our facility is dedicated to a wide-ranging multidisciplinary program that emphasizes the creation and application of novel materials, along with the enhancement of production techniques for existing materials. Leveraging our extensive manufacturing network and global partnerships, we possess the capabilities to melt, synthesize, purify, machine, bond, and deposit a diverse range of materials. Our custom manufacturing capabilities, supported by advanced material characterization, are aimed at delivering specialized items that not only meet but exceed our customer's requirements.

In pursuit of custom formulations, small-scale production, and rigorous quality control, LTS has established the R&D Lab in Belmont, NC. Our lab is furnished with cutting-edge equipment, including the XPert Pro MPD Diffractometer, XRF, particle size analyzer, polarized optical microscope, atomic absorption spectrometer, multiple furnaces, ball mill, sieve and press machines, glove box, and comprehensive wet chemistry lab capabilities.

LTS specializes in custom synthesis of challenging compositions, especially sputtering targets, battery materials, perovskites, and semiconductors. Our R&D team initiate by having an extensive scientific discussion with our customers to comprehend & emphasis on satisfying their product requirements (chemical & physical, optical, or mechanical properties) via synthesizing and optimizing various parameters but not limited as follows,

• Synthesis (chemical composition, level of dopants in atomic or weight percent, powder homogenization, gases flow, etc)

• Processing (annealing conditions, texturing, grinding, or machining).

• Providing detailed characterization (please refer to Analytical Services) and promptly sharing the results (structural, particle size distribution, optical, and morphological data) with our clients.

• Soliciting feedback on the deposited material properties (Sputtering targets, & E-beam Starter Sources such as inserts, pellets, granules for thin film depositions)

• Adjusting our synthesis and processing protocols to meet the requirements

LTS Research Laboratories, Inc. has been a spearhead in providing any custom-made material composition of your choice starting from specialty Fluorides, Ceramics, Hafnium products, Metal halides, Chlorides, Carbides, Nitrides, Borides, Silicide, Perovskites, Precious Metals & Alloys, Scandium, Chalcogenide glasses, Semiconductor-Grade materials, Starter Sources, Battery Materials, Single Crystal & Substrates, Nanoparticles, Organometallics, and 3D Printing materials for various applications in industries & academic sector. 

We are most welcome the opportunity to collaborate on custom R&D projects. For more information, please contact our sales team at [email protected]
