EPSRC Core Capital Award

我们的建议要求两项设备，以惠及整个科学与工程学院的用户-i)一个台式，高清晰度质谱仪(MS)设在化学学院，和ii)一个多目标溅射工具，设在詹姆斯瓦特纳米制造中心(JWNC)。这两个项目将扩大大学目前在纳米制造和化学分析领域的能力，这是复杂化学、电子学、量子激光和传感等领域研究的基础。该大学已经在这些领域提供了优秀的研究成果，并继续吸引国内外投资。加强我们的能力和能力将使我们能够继续提供世界级的研究，发展我们未来的合作，并建立新的行业合作伙伴关系。这些新设施将被许多学院的研究人员使用，包括化学、工程、物理和天文学以及医学。他们将支持几个EPSRC计划和标准研究拨款以及四个英国量子中心，使研究成为可能，如激光、新功能材料和独特传感设备的制造新工艺。我们现有的行业合作伙伴网络可以在联合研究活动中访问新设施，并计划吸引更多合作项目，以推动新的经济、社会和环境影响。

Our proposal requests two items of equipment to benefit users across the College of Science and Engineering - i) a bench-top, high-definition mass spectrometer (MS) to be located within the School of Chemistry, and ii) a multi-target sputter tool to be located within the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre (JWNC).Both items will expand the current capabilities of the University in the areas of nanofabrication and chemical analysis, which underpin a large portfolio of research in fields including complex chemistry, electronics, quantum lasers, and sensing. The University already delivers excellent research in these areas, and they continue to attract internal and external investment. Strengthening our capacity and capability will allow us to continue to deliver world-class research, grow our future collaborations, and establish new industrial partnerships.These new facilities will be utilised by researchers across many Schools, including Chemistry, Engineering, Physics & Astronomy and Medicine. They will support several EPSRC Programme and Standard research grants and the four UK Quantum hubs, enabling research such as novel processes for the manufacture of lasers, new functional materials, and unique sensing devices.We have a network of existing industry partners who can access the new facilities in joint research activities, and plan to attract more collaborative projects that can drive new economic, societal and environmental impacts.
