A cryogenic multifunctional multiscale material characterisation facility

这项提议旨在为材料科学和新兴技术建立世界级的低温表征设施。这将允许在一个或多个同时的外部刺激(电、磁、光、机械和热场)下，在不同的长度尺度以及在室温或低于室温的情况下，直接观察和测量各种材料的物理特性。该项目的成果将推动低温材料科学的发展，促进在能源、量子技术、生物医学工程和电子领域发现新的低温功能材料和技术，直接惠及资源、能源、国家安全、国防和空间等国家重点制造领域。

This proposal aims to establish a world-class cryogenic characterisation facility for materials science and emerging technologies. This will allow the direct observation and measurement of various material physical characteristics under one or more simultaneous external stimuli (electric, magnetic, optic, mechanic and thermal fields) at different length scales and at or below-room temperature. Outcomes from this project will advance cryogenic materials science and facilitate the discovery of new cryogenic functional materials and technologies in the fields of energy, quantum technology, biomedical engineering and electronics, directly benefiting National Priority Manufacturing areas in resource, energy, national security, defence and space.
