2. Main Infrastructure Categories - 3. Infrastructure Workflow - 4. Equipment & Facilities - 5. Research Applications - 6. Collaboration & Access
Our infrastructure combines advanced microscopy, spectroscopy, diffraction, and structural analysis techniques with expertise in material formation and phase evolution. By connecting synthesis, processing, and characterization, we reveal how atomic arrangements, interfaces, defects, and microstructures determine material properties.
Structure Analysis provides complementary capabilities to investigate materials across multiple length scales, from atomic ordering and nanoscale architectures to microstructural evolution during solidification processes.
