| Abstract Scope |
The Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is one of the Nanoscale Science Research Centers (NSRCs), a system of five coordinated Nano Centers located in U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE) national laboratories across the United States. Each Center contains laboratories for synthesis and nanofabrication, one-of-a-kind signature instruments, a suite of supporting instrumentation, and theory, modeling, and simulation expertise, which are open to external users for free and can be accessed via user proposal processes. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the research activities and associated user facilities for materials research available at CFN, which include but are not limited to advanced surface and X-ray characterization capabilities (LEEM, XPEEM, μ-ARPES, μ-XPS), optical spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and automated 2D heterostructure fabrication facility (QPress) that is under development. |
