Following the invitation to apply for core equipment funding, the University of Sheffield promoted the opportunity across its EPSRC funded laboratories and communities. Expressions of interest were collected and a cross-faculty panel made the decision about what would fit with the proposed budget, criteria and institutional strategies. Capital investment will support the following fields:- Semiconductor/organic devices fabrication through the purchase of a magnetron sputtering vacuum deposition system.- Particle coating and characterisation by creating a suite of equipment including a Zeta potential and DLS particle sizer system, dielectric spectroscopy and a vacuum loadlock addition to our metal evaporator.- Research requiring ultrafast spectroscopy through the acquisition of an autocorrelator.- Quantum technology with the support of an arbitrary waveform generator.- Lithography with an argon ion laser.- Robotics with the purchase of four Jackal Rovers and a Tiago mobile robot.Equipment will be hosted in six laboratories across the two faculties of Science and Engineering. New equipment is expected to increase the efficiency of existing facilities, open up new areas of collaborative research and enable novel insights.

在邀请申请核心设备资金的邀请之后，谢菲尔德大学促进了EPSRC资助的实验室和社区的机会。收集了兴趣的表达，跨教师小组就符合拟议的预算，标准和机构策略的决定做出了决定。资本投资将支持以下领域： - 半导体/有机设备通过购买磁控管溅射真空沉积系统来制造。-通过创建一套设备，包括Zeta电位和DLS粒料系统，介电镜头和介电镜头和真空吸引力的启用频谱，通过使用ZETA电位和DLS粒料系统，颗粒涂层和表征来进行启用。-量子技术在任意波形生成器的支持下 - 具有氩离子激光器的光刻 - 机器人技术，购买了四个jackal流浪者和Tiago移动机器人。设备将在科学和工程两个学院的六个实验室中托管。预计新设备将提高现有设施的效率，开设合作研究的新领域并实现新颖的见解。
