HarwellXPS Development

我们寻求扩大光电子能谱国家研究设施（HarwellXPS，www.example.com）提供的设施，以满足目前尚未充分参与该中心的社区的需求，从而提高服务的影响。所选择的设备是根据各种证据来源确定的三个需要领域：（1）能源材料，包括电池和电容器。随着各方面技术的电气化程度不断提高，迫切需要开发新材料来改善清洁能源的生产和储存。这是法拉第研究所服务的一个研究领域，HarwellXPS的升级将使两个机构之间的合作更加紧密。(2)新技术的新材料：随着我们的技术越来越复杂，对所用材料的要求也越来越严格。开发新材料以满足这些需求取决于提高我们对相关材料的性质和行为的理解。新设施将使HarwellXPS能够为研究人员提供一系列显著增强的工具来研究材料。(3)软固体。这些材料的结构由相对较弱的结合决定，因此对压力和温度的变化非常敏感。该领域包括各种各样的生物界面以及聚合物表面。

We seek to expand the facilities offered by the National Research Facility in photoelectron spectroscopy (HarwellXPS, www.harwellxps.uk) to address the needs of communities not currently fully engaged with the centre and thereby improve the impact of the service. The equipment selected is based upon a variety of sources of evidence that have identified three areas of need: (1) Energy materials, including batteries and capacitors. With the increasing electrification of all aspects of technology, there is an urgent need to develop new materials to improve clean energy production and storage. This is a research area served by the Faraday Institute and the upgrade of HarwellXPS will enable greater engagement between the two institutions.(2) New materials for new technologies: As our technology grows more sophisticated it is placing increasingly stringent demands on the materials employed. Developing new materials to meet these demands depends on improving our understanding of the nature and behaviour of the materials concerned. The new facilities will allow HarwellXPS to offer researchers a significantly enhanced array of tools to study materials. (3) Soft solids. These are materials in which structure is determined by relatively weak bonding and are therefore very sensitive to changing conditions of pressure and temperature. the field encompasses a huge variety of biological interfaces as well as polymer surfaces.
