Atlantic Regional Facilities for Materials Characterization

该应用程序寻求支持，以促进有效地访问一个主要的区域研究资源，大西洋区域设施的材料表征。自2003年成立以来，大部分设施在加拿大大西洋地区都是独一无二的，有些设施在该国是独一无二的。自2004年1月起的两年半时间里，共有来自16所大学的305名研究人员使用了这些设施（在加拿大大西洋沿岸地区，这包括西迪亚、布雷东角、达尔豪西、纪念、蒙克顿、UNB、圣玛丽、圣弗朗西斯泽维尔;也被来自UVic、SFU、U马尼托巴、U滑铁卢、麦吉尔、拉瓦尔、格鲁吉亚理工的研究人员使用，旧自治领）和结果一直是关键的前沿研究成果报告在115个参考期刊文章，5个专利申请和38个完成的硕士或博士论文。最重要的是，这些设施对于前沿研究至关重要。

This application seeks support to facilitate effective access to a major regional research resource, the Atlantic Regional Facilities for Materials Characterization. Largely established since 2003, most of the Facilities are unique in Atlantic Canada, some unique in the country. In the 2.5 years since January 2004, the Facilities have been used by a total of 305 researchers from 16 universities (within Atlantic Canada, this includes Acadia, Cape Breton, Dalhousie, Memorial, Moncton, UNB, Saint Mary's, St. Francis Xavier; also used by researchers from UVic, SFU, U Manitoba, U Waterloo, McGill, Laval, Georgia Tech, Old Dominion) and results have been pivotal for forefront research results reported in 115 refereed journal articles, 5 patent applications and 38 completed Masters or PhD theses. Most importantly, these Facilities are essential for leading-edge research.
