Swansea University Core Equipment Award 2020: An Advanced Electro-Physical Surface Analysis Suite

斯旺西大学将使用EPSRC的设备奖，在EPSRC的职权范围内战略性地投资于工程和科学学院关键领域的最先进设备。所要求的设备是一个Dimension XR系统，该系统由多个模块组成，用于基于扫描探针显微镜（SPM）广泛技术类别的特定电物理测量。这些干预措施的主要目标是通过促进科学卓越，进而加速下一代研究人员的职业生涯，使我们庞大的研究社区的利益最大化。这笔额外的投资将促进关键领域的研究活动。这些设备经过精心挑选，以增加、增强和增加大学当前研究能力的价值。它将允许创建新的测试技术，并将使用户在收集的数据和能够使用的方法方面具有显著的优势。反过来，这将导致在高影响因子期刊上发表，通过广泛的公众参与创造更多的合作机会，并帮助利用外部资金进一步发展这些领域

Swansea University will use this equipment award from EPSRC to strategically invest in state-of-the-art equipment in key areas across the Colleges of Engineering and Science within the remit of EPSRC. The equipment requested is a Dimension XR system, comprised of a number of modules for specific electro-physical measurements based upon the broad technique class of scanning probe microscopy (SPM). The primary objective of these interventions is to maximise the benefit to our sizable research community by enabling scientific excellence and in turn accelerating the careers of the next generation of researchers. This additional investment will act as a catalyst for research activity in key areas. The equipment has been carefully selected to augment, enhance, and add value to the current research capabilities at the University. It will allow for the creation of novel testing techniques and will give its users a significant advantage in terms of the data they collect and the methodologies they are able to employ. This, in turn, will lead to publication in high impact factor journals, create further opportunities for collaboration through extensive public engagement, and help leverage external funding to further develop these areas
