CRYSTALLOGRAPHYServices provided include unit cell determinations, complete structure determinations, and collection of single crystal data for users to solve and refine themselves. |
ELECTRON MICROSCOPYThe scope of the facility is "materials characterization" of the topography,morphology,elemental composition,crystalline microstruc-ture, crystal defects, and atomic arrangements of materials, largely on a scale from 10 micrometers down to the near-atomic level. |
MATERIALS PREPARATIONTwo sputtering systems have been established to fabricate a variety of thin films, especially the nanostructured films including overlayers, multilayers, granular solids, clusters, etc. Two tube furnaces are available for sample (or target) annealing, doping, and sintering. |
NANOFABRICATIONThe NCMN facility contains a large variety of equipment to prepare, fabricate, analysis, and characterize a wide range of nanostructure materials. |

SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPYDigital Instruments Nanoscope IIIa Dimension 3100 Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) Facility provide nanometer-scale charac -terization of materials by using STM, AFM, and MFM. |
X-RAY MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATIONThe NCMN X-Ray Characteriza-tion Facility is dedicated to materials identification and charac- terization through nondestructive, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and / or X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) techniques. |
METALLURGICAL & MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATIONThis facility contains a large variety of equipment to characterize the mechanical and physical properties of a wide range of materials. The facility focuses on using the many materials characterization aspects to perform failure analyses on components. |
CRYOGENICSCryogenics provides the means for obtaining Liquid Nitrogen and Liquid Helium for low temperature research, cold traps, etc. |
