Facility for Nanometer Scale Microscopy, Characterization, and Fabrication

用于纳米级显微镜、表征和制造的设备： 该项目旨在为纳米结构设备和材料的显微镜和表征创建一个合作研究设施，使研究人员能够以接近原子尺度的分辨率可视化和量化样品的地形、化学成分和结构。Witek Alpha300SR显微镜能够同时进行原子力显微镜、近场扫描光学显微镜、光电流测绘和拉曼光谱。这些能力将允许绘制地形和化学成分的地图，对光刺激的响应，以及表面上纳米级分辨率的三维材料结构。该仪器将支持有机光伏、纳米制造、聚合物电子学、离子流体、功能界面和热电子器件等领域的研究。

Facility for nanometre-scale microscopy, characterisation, and fabrication: This project aims to create a collaborative research facility for the microscopy and characterisation of nanometre structured devices and materials, enabling researchers to visualise and quantify the topography, chemical composition and structure of samples with a resolution approaching the atomic scale. A WiTek Alpha300SR microscope is capable of simultaneous atomic force microscopy, near-field scanning optical microscopy, photocurrent mapping, and Raman spectroscopy. These capabilities would allow the mapping of topography and chemical composition, response to optical stimulus, and the structure of materials in 3-D with nanometre-scale resolution on surfaces. This instrument would support research in areas such as organic photovoltaics, nanofabrication, polymer electronics, ionic fluids, functional interfaces, and thermionic devices.
