We propose to create and equip the Nanomaterials Characterisation Suite (NCS), a shared facility designed to provide a substantial boost to world-leading activities at the University of Sheffield (UoS) in EPSRC-funded research areas of: Photonic Materials; Quantum Optics and Information; Quantum Devices, Components and Systems; Light Matter Interaction and Optical Phenomena; Solar Technology; Polymer Materials. We request funds for a versatile imaging spectroscopic ellipsometer; a high stability, high resolution, atomic force microscope; and, if the additional funding is available, an additional item, a mid-infrared quantum cascade laser for nano-imaging and nano-spectroscopy. This investment will underpin our world-class programmes on research and development of nanomaterials. It will provide researchers with access to state-of-the-art instruments for nanoscale structural and optical analysis of broad classes of thin films and nano-structured materials. This will significantly expand and complement our existing capabilities in these areas and enable new scientific breakthroughs.

我们建议创建和装备纳米材料特征套件（NCS），该设施旨在在EPSRC资助的Sheffield大学（UOS）的世界领先活动中大大提升：光子材料的研究领域；量子光学和信息；量子设备，组件和系统；轻质物质相互作用和光学现象；太阳能技术；聚合物材料。我们要求用于多功能成像光谱椭圆机的资金；高稳定性，高分辨率，原子力显微镜；而且，如果提供额外的资金，则可以额外的项目，用于纳米成像和纳米光谱的中红外量子级联激光器。这项投资将支持我们关于纳米材料研发的世界一流计划。它将为研究人员提供纳米级结构和光学分析的最先进的仪器，对薄膜和纳米结构材料的大量类别进行分析。这将大大扩展和补充我们在这些领域的现有能力，并实现新的科学突破。
