The University of St Andrews - Equipment Account

该提案的目的是汇集一个新的设施，提供最先进的能力，以分析和控制纳米级的功能材料，以支持和推动能源材料，光子学，超材料和电子学的关键材料研究。它打算使用这个设施，以支持大约180材料研究人员在圣安德鲁斯大学，并扩大这种能力，以用户以外的圣安德鲁斯在学术界和工业界。它建立在圣安德鲁斯大学，证监会，EPSRC和行业在高质量研究和先进材料研究投资方面的杰出记录，以及我们与外部用户共享设施的经验。

The purpose of this proposal is to bring together a new facility to provide state of the art capability to analyse and control functional materials at the nanoscale to underpin and drive forward critical materials research in energy materials, photonics, metamaterials and electronics. It is intended to use this facility to support approximately 180 materials researchers at the University of St Andrews and extend this capability to users outside St Andrews in both academia and industry. It builds on the outstanding record of St Andrews in high quality research and investment in advanced materials research by the University, SFC, EPSRC, and industry as well as our experience of sharing our facilities with external users.
