This proposal is for funding to support the purchase of Core Equipment across the University of Southampton. Following an internal shortlisting process, items were identified as being either key underpinning items for areas of national importance, opportunities to invest to save, or core equipment for the benefit of early career researchers.We will:1. Procure a laser diffraction system to analyse wet dispersed samples and of dry dispersed particles;2. Procure a Hall-effect measurement system to enable research in advanced materials such as biomaterials, functional ceramics and inorganics, graphene and carbon;3. Procure an ambient photoemission spectroscopy tool to improve the performance of light absorbing and emitting devices, such as solar cells, photodetectors and light emitting devices (LEDs);4. Procure a high resolution 3D digital microscope in the Imaging and Microscopy Centre to accelerate the development of the serial crystallography technique.Collectively these items align to the call objectives of procuring underpinning equipment (1-4) and core equipment to benefit Early Career Researchers (1-4). The research enabled by these investment aligns to EPSRC priority areas within Physical Sciences, Engineering, Energy and ICT, and national priorities including Infrastructure, Climate Change and Advanced Materials.

该提案旨在提供资金，以支持在整个南安普顿大学购买核心设备。经过内部筛选过程，项目被确定为国家重要领域的关键基础项目，投资储蓄的机会，或为早期职业研究人员的利益的核心设备。我们将：1.采购激光衍射系统分析湿分散样品和干分散颗粒;2.采购霍尔效应测量系统，用于生物材料、功能陶瓷和无机物、石墨烯和碳等先进材料的研究;采购环境光电子能谱分析工具，以改善光吸收和发射装置的性能，例如太阳能电池、光电探测器和发光装置（LED）;4.在影像及显微镜中心购置一台高解析度三维数码显微镜，以加速发展系列晶体学技术。这些项目共同符合采购基础设备（1-4）和核心设备的呼叫目标，以使早期职业研究人员（1-4）受益。这些投资所实现的研究与物理科学，工程，能源和ICT内的EPSRC优先领域以及包括基础设施，气候变化和先进材料在内的国家优先事项保持一致。
