Project Duration: 2003-2006
Funding: DIIRD, State of Victoria
Chief Investigator: Andrea Gerson
Description:
With the advent an Australian Synchrotron
radiation source in 2007 there is now an urgent requirement to design
facilities with industry participation and requirements foremost in
mind. Beamline 11 on the Australian Synchrotron is a microdiffraction
and fluorescence probe capable of simultaneous phase and composition
mapping.
ACeSSS is collaborating with Surface Science Western (University
of Western Ontario) in the design and construction of a similar
facility at the Canadian Light Source.
This microprobe will be highly automated, robust and will provide a high
level scientific and industrial resource.
