Interdisciplinary Center for Analytics on the Nanoscale (ICAN)

在纳米尺度上对材料和工艺进行表征是ICAN向用户和外部合作伙伴提供的中心服务。现有的仪器包括广泛的分析方法，从电子显微镜和扫描探针显微镜，各种(光)电子光谱和衍射技术，以及本地光学探针到时间分辨光谱和衍射。因此，设备的范围使得能够在时间、空间和能量上进行高分辨率的纳米级分析，以及在纳米级上进行特定于元素的表征。通过一个中心联络点，可以高效地、面向解决方案地使用现有的专业知识和设备。在这里，除了单独的解决方案外，还可以提供不同方法的组合。样品材料的制备是解决与纳米分析有关的科学问题的重要一步，因此也是一项服务。杜伊斯堡-埃森大学现有的和新产生的知识以及纳米分析方面的专门知识和科学设备将得到精简，并在内部和外部提供。这样，将提供最新的知识库，其中包括附带的服务。

Characterization of materials and processes on the nanoscale is the central service that ICAN offers to users and external partners. The existing instrumentation comprises a broad spectrum of analytical methods, ranging from electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy, various (photo) electron spectroscopic and diffraction techniques, and local optical probes to time resolved spectroscopy and diffraction. The range of equipment thus enables the analytics on the nanoscale with high resolution in time, space and energy, as well as element-specific characterization on the nanoscale. A central point of contact enables an efficient and solution oriented usage of the existing expertise and equipment. Here, apart from individual solutions, also combinations of different approaches can be offered. The preparation of the sample material constitutes an important step in addressing the scientific questions related to nanoanalytics and is therefore also offered as a service. Existing and newly generated knowledge as well as expertise and scientific equipment for nanoanalytics at the University Duisburg-Essen will be streamlined and made available both internally and externally. This way, an up-to-date knowledge base will be offered, which includes the accompanying services.
