The University of St Andrews - Equipment Account

这项提议的目的是汇集一个新的设施，提供最先进的能力来分析和控制纳米级的功能材料，以支持和推动能源材料、光子学、超材料和电子学等关键材料的研究。该设施旨在为圣安德鲁斯大学约180名材料研究人员提供支持，并将此能力扩展到圣安德鲁斯大学以外的学术界和工业界用户。它建立在圣安德鲁斯大学、SFC、EPSRC和行业在先进材料研究方面的高质量研究和投资的杰出记录，以及我们与外部用户共享我们的设施的经验之上。

The purpose of this proposal is to bring together a new facility to provide state of the art capability to analyse and control functional materials at the nanoscale to underpin and drive forward critical materials research in energy materials, photonics, metamaterials and electronics. It is intended to use this facility to support approximately 180 materials researchers at the University of St Andrews and extend this capability to users outside St Andrews in both academia and industry. It builds on the outstanding record of St Andrews in high quality research and investment in advanced materials research by the University, SFC, EPSRC, and industry as well as our experience of sharing our facilities with external users.
