A coordinated open-access centre for comprehensive materials analysis

我们将为英国学者提供由国际领先集团运营的一系列最先进的材料分析设备的单点访问中心。该设备可实现材料的超分辨率成像和化学分析，对物理，化学和生物科学家非常有用。该中心将由诺丁汉纳米科学和纳米技术中心（NNNC）运营，并由一个合适的管理和技术团队提供支持。这种方便的访问将提供一个透明的结构，并将促进有效的管理和跟踪整个申请涉及的学校的可用资源。重要的是，它还将提供一个协调培训活动的机会，在简单的“一种技术”服务之外，就分析选项向潜在用户提供专业建议，并促进反馈的中央存储库和随后使用收集的数据进行支持。提供的服务将包括每年75天的分析和每年25天的专门培训。此外，分析和提出报告和对反馈作出反应的方法将是中心活动的一部分。分析报告和反馈资料将编入目录，用于编制年度报告，总结设备使用情况和产出。这将用于通知年度管理小组会议。

We will offer to UK academics a single-point access Centre for a range of state of the art materials analysis equipment operated by internationally leading groups. This equipment enables ultra-resolution imaging and chemical analysis of materials, useful for physical, chemical and biological scientists.The Centre will be run by the Nottingham Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Centre (NNNC) supported by a suitable management and technical team. This easy access will give a transparent structure and will facilitate efficient management and tracking of the available resource across the Schools involved in the application. Importantly, it will also provide an opportunity to coordinate training activities, give professional advice to potential users on analysis options beyond a simple 'one-technique' service and to facilitate a central repository of feedback and subsequent exploitation the gathered data is used to support.The service offered will include 75 days of analysis per annum and 25 days dedicated to training per annum. In addition analysis and the means to deliver reports and respond to feedback will be part of Centre's activities. The analysis reports and feedback information will be catalogued and used to produce an annual report summarizing equipment usage and outputs. This will be used to inform the annual Management Group Meeting.
