项目摘要

We request support for seven equipment bundles which have been identified as strategically important against the University of Manchester priorities in Advanced Materials, Energy, Physical Sciences and Industrial Biotechnology. They represent a diverse range of research activities which cut across both the EPSRC remit in health, energy, transport, environment, food, communication and consumer products, as well as scientific themes within the Emerging Technologies and Industry Strategy announced by Innovate UK TSB in November 2014 and H2020.All equipment will be managed to maximise institutional, regional, national and international impact, in close collaboration with a broad range of industry partners.The seven theme areas are:Refreshment of the Raman Spectroscopy Centre for Advanced Materials (UoM1): To continue to develop the University's leading research on advanced materials, interfaces and optoelectronic devices. These new spectrometers together with the enhancement of a existing triple diffractometer with a state-of-the-art, tuneable laser will form the core of a new University-wide Raman Research Centre.A Translational Facility for the Characterisation of Soft Matter (UoM2): This will support research activities across Engineering & Physical Sciences, Medical & Human Sciences and Life Sciences) encompassing blue sky research and industrially relevant projects. This new facility spans different levels of scale and different time points in industrial production and will provide information on molecular shape and size and molecular interactions and formulated product stability. THz On-Wafer Advanced Materials Characterisation Facility (UoM3): This will enable material properties to be determined at frequencies up to 500GHz or 0.5THz and for the extraction of material properties and equivalent circuits. The proposed bundle will allow Manchester to extend the eminent position it has on RF on-wafer probing measurement science as well as impact the materials science undertaken by users of the facility. 'Low Level Radiometrics' (UoM4): This will enable of quantification of radioactive emissions, whether alpha, beta or gamma, down to very low levels and locating radioactivity with up to sub-micron spatial resolution on (and potentially in) samples of solids and liquids. The localisation and quantitative detection of radiation and radioactive materials is a fundamental part of almost all experimental nuclear research. Reaction Kinetics Equipment Suite (UoM5): Will support chemical synthesis at lab and pilot scale in the Schools of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science (SCEAS) and Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB). It will create a mobile suite of equipment for the detection of reactive intermediates and compound characterisation, supporting fundamental cross-disciplinary research from advanced materials to industrial biotechnology.Field-Emission Electron Probe Micro-Analyser (UoM6): Electron Probe Micro-Analysis (EPMA) is the gold standard for quantitative elemental analysis and is a core requirement for the characterisation of solid phases over large areas. Using wavelength dispersive x-ray (WDX) spectrometers, EPMA provides elemental analyses typically from Z=5 (boron) upwards with sensitivity of 0.01% or better. A new class of instrument, using a Schottky field emission gun (FEG), now enables quantitative analysis at 100-200 nm for transition elements, with 200-300 nm for light elements such as boron. The proposed new instrument, with greatly improved capabilities, will allow Manchester to maintain and expand its position in advanced materials science. nm Scale Resolution Scanning Cathodoluminescence System (UoM7): The system allows unprecedented levels of characterisation for electronic and photonic materials. Most critically it will enable correlation of structural (atomic) and electronic properties via light emission processes.

我们请求对七个设备包提供支持，这些设备包已被确定为对曼彻斯特大学在先进材料、能源、物理科学和工业生物技术领域的优先事项具有战略重要性。它们代表了各种研究活动，涵盖 EPSRC 在健康、能源、交通、环境、食品、通信和消费品方面的职权范围，以及创新英国 TSB 于 2014 年 11 月和 2020 年下半年宣布的新兴技术和行业战略中的科学主题。所有设备都将与广泛的行业合作伙伴密切合作，进行管理，以最大限度地提高机构、区域、国家和国际影响力。七个主题领域是：先进材料拉曼光谱中心（UoM1）的更新：继续发展大学在先进材料、界面和光电器件方面的领先研究。这些新的光谱仪与采用最先进的可调谐激光器增强现有的三重衍射仪一起，将构成新的全大学拉曼研究中心的核心。软物质表征转化设施（UoM2）：这将支持跨工程与物理科学、医学与人文科学和生命科学的研究活动，包括蓝天研究和工业相关项目。该新设施跨越工业生产中的不同规模和不同时间点，并将提供有关分子形状和尺寸、分子相互作用以及配方产品稳定性的信息。太赫兹晶圆上先进材料表征设施 (UoM3)：这将使材料特性能够在高达 500GHz 或 0.5THz 的频率下确定，并提取材料特性和等效电路。拟议的捆绑包将使曼彻斯特扩大其在射频晶圆上探测测量科学领域的卓越地位，并影响该设施用户所从事的材料科学。 “低水平辐射测量”（UoM4）：这将能够将放射性排放（无论是α、β还是γ）量化到非常低的水平，并以高达亚微米空间分辨率在固体和液体样品上（可能在其中）定位放射性。辐射和放射性材料的定位和定量检测是几乎所有实验核研究的基本组成部分。反应动力学设备套件 (UoM5)：将支持化学、化学工程和分析科学学院 (SCEAS) 以及曼彻斯特生物技术学院 (MIB) 的实验室和中试规模的化学合成。它将创建一套用于检测反应中间体和化合物表征的移动设备套件，支持从先进材料到工业生物技术的基础跨学科研究。场发射电子探针微量分析仪 (UoM6)：电子探针微量分析 (EPMA) 是定量元素分析的黄金标准，也是大面积固相表征的核心要求。 EPMA 使用波长色散 X 射线 (WDX) 光谱仪，通常可提供 Z=5（硼）以上的元素分析，灵敏度为 0.01% 或更高。使用肖特基场发射枪 (FEG) 的新型仪器现在可以在 100-200 nm 波长下对过渡元素进行定量分析，在 200-300 nm 波长下对硼等轻元素进行定量分析。拟议的新仪器的功能大大提高，将使曼彻斯特能够保持并扩大其在先进材料科学领域的地位。纳米级分辨率扫描阴极发光系统 (UoM7)：该系统可以对电子和光子材料进行前所未有的表征。最关键的是，它将通过光发射过程实现结构（原子）和电子特性的关联。
