Interface Analysis Centre
The Facility’s academic, research and technical staff are based in the School of Physics, and collectively have decades of experience in the use and development of these techniques, with a number of new technologies created in the department including electron backscatter diffraction, high-speed atomic force microscopy and Raman Spectroscopy. The IAC staff use the equipment in the Facility to characterise a wide range of materials from steels and uranium to graphite, diamond and even paintings! The Facility works extensively with industry and academic researchers within the university and at partner institutions, providing cutting-edge data and analysis to answer fundamental materials challenges.
