An integrated materials surface analytical facility

该项目旨在建立一个最先进的表面分析设施，将电子能谱与专用样品制备站和传输系统相结合，以优化样品操作条件。该设施将支持一系列功能材料的前沿研究，允许详细检查材料表面发生的化学反应。这种理解对于设计影响技术的先进材料至关重要，例如清洁和可再生能源的高效生产，废物的清除，化学和生物传感器，半导体生产，信息存储和电子设备。预期的结果包括对材料表面和新设备的新理解，具有广泛的社会经济效益，以及澳大利亚和国际上新工业部门的增长。

This project aims to establish a state-of-the-art surface analysis facility that combines electron spectroscopy with dedicated sample preparation stations and transfer systems to optimise sample operating conditions. The facility will support leading-edge research on a range of functional materials by allowing detailed examination of the chemistry occurring at the material’s surface. This understanding is critical in the design of advanced materials impacting technologies such as the efficient production of clean and renewable energies, removal of wastes, chemical and bio-sensors, semiconductor production, information storage and electronic devices. Expected outcomes include new understandings of materials surfaces and new devices, with wide-ranging socioeconomic benefits as well as growth in new industry sectors, both in Australia and internationally.
