An advanced facility for materials characterisation

先进的材料表征设备。x射线光电子能谱是一种强大的技术，用于确定固体材料的前几埃的化学组成。它在材料科学研究和工业问题解决中具有非常广泛的适用性。布里斯班表面分析设施在使用XPS研究先进材料、聚合物、薄膜和冶金方面有近20年的经验。虽然现有仪器仍然可用，但它缺乏现代机器的分辨率和成像能力，该提案旨在为昆士兰机构提供最先进的成像XPS，以支持材料科学方面的举措。

An advanced facility for materials characterisation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is a powerful technique for determining the chemical makeup of the top few Angstroms of a solid material. It has very wide applicability in materials science research, and industry problem solving. Brisbane Surface Analysis Facility has nearly twenty years experience in the use of XPS in the study of advanced materials, polymers, thin films and metallurgy. While the existing instrument is still functional, it lacks the resolution and imaging capabilities of modern machines, and this proposal is intended to make state of the art imaging XPS available to Queensland institutions, to support initiatives in materials science.
