Our vision for the Core Equipment Allocation is to fund two equipment suites is to facilitate ambitious world-class research initiatives involving a range of academic teams which include mixture of experienced and early career researchers. The first item of equipment is a high-power laser with a broad tuning range, ultra-narrow linewidths, and a large continuous mode-hop-free scanning range. The laser will be used in laser spectroscopy and quantum control of novel quantum materials and devices and shared between several experimental setups in a shared facility used by multiple research groups. Ultimately, this research will enable new ways to measure, compute, and communicate information at the quantum level. The second equipment suite is for mass spectrometry to allow a range of capabilities around gas-chromatography and inductively coupled plasma MS. The mass spectrometry suite will be shared across many research groups in the Institute of Chemical Sciences through to other schools in the University. This will allow us the characterise the species we make in new synthetic methodologies and to identify all the key stages in a catalytic cycle for example. This then means that we can optimise synthetic strategies and design new catalysts for greener chemistry.

我们对核心设备分配的愿景是为两套设备提供资金，以促进雄心勃勃的世界级研究计划，涉及一系列学术团队，其中包括经验丰富的和职业早期的研究人员。第一项设备是调谐范围宽、线宽超窄、连续无跳模扫描范围大的高功率激光器。该激光器将用于新型量子材料和装置的激光光谱学和量子控制，并在多个研究小组共享的设施中由几个实验装置共享。最终，这项研究将使在量子水平上测量、计算和交流信息的新方法成为可能。第二套设备用于质谱学，以实现围绕气相色谱和电感耦合等离子体质谱的一系列功能。质谱学套装将在化学科学研究所的许多研究小组之间共享，一直到大学的其他学校。这将使我们能够确定我们在新的合成方法中制造的物种的特征，并识别例如催化循环中的所有关键阶段。这意味着我们可以优化合成策略，为更绿色的化学设计新的催化剂。
