The Interdisciplinary Center for Analytics on the Nanoscale (ICAN, www.cenide.de/ican) at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) is a state-of-the-art open core facility, combining equip-ment, methods and scientific expertise for advanced analytics on the nanometer length scale. Organizationally, ICAN is part of the Center for Nanointegration Duisburg-Essen (CENIDE, www.cenide.de) - one of the nationwide leading research networks in nanoscience and nanotech-nology. Main efforts in the present funding period (2014-2017) focused on the establishment of the organizational structure and the foundation of a sophisticated microscopy center with a par-ticular combination of five major complementary analytical techniques for comprehensive char-acterization of nanomaterials (TEM/STEM, SAM, AFM/SPM, TOF-SIMS, XPS). A professional management and a joint team of experienced scientists and technical co-workers ensure high-level analytical service and equal access for internal and external users. Altogether, these fea-tures give ICAN a unique profile among other national and international core facilities and make it an outstanding choice for service measurements in the field of nano and surface analysis. In this proposal (2017-2020) further actions will be taken in order to sharpen the provided serv-ice profile and widen the overall external impact of ICAN. For this purpose, the services and techniques in ICAN will be adapted and expanded to the specific needs of the local research groups in the CENIDE. Further advanced microscopic techniques for 3D analysis, in situ charac-terization and measurement of material properties will be established. The setup of a dedicated sample transfer system will enable the analysis of sensitive materials. Novel laser-based meth-ods will complement the pool of sample preparation techniques. Application notes are being de-veloped in order to illustrate the particular features of individual techniques and specific service packages. In combination with dedicated quality management, public relation and academic out-reach activities, further increased utilization and percentage of external users is targeted. Col-laborations with other core facilities and microscopy centers will be expanded in order to build up strategic alliances and jointly promote actions in order to further support and establish these nationwide service facilities. Overall, these actions will inherently strengthen ICAN and further sharpen its profile among other core facilities and microscopy centers. The UDE rectorate generously supports these structure-building measures and with this ensures the long-term structural and financial sustainability of ICAN well beyond the time frame of the proposed project.

Duisburg-Essen大学（UDE）（UDE）的纳米级分析中心（ICAN，www.cenide.de/ican）是一个最先进的开放核心设施，结合了设备，方法和科学，方法和科学的核心设施纳米长度尺度上高级分析的专业知识。在组织上，ICAN是纳米基金会纳米基堡 - 埃森（Cenide，www.cenide.de）的一部分 - 纳米科学和纳米技术的全国领先研究网络之一。当前资助期（2014-2017）的主要努力着重于建立组织结构和精致显微镜中心的基础，该中心具有五种主要的互补分析技术，用于全面的纳米材料综合性炭化（TEM/ TEM// STEM，SAM，AFM/SPM，TOF-SIMS，XPS）。专业管理人员和由经验丰富的科学家和技术同事组成的联合团队确保了内部和外部用户的高级分析服务以及平等的访问权限。总的来说，这些fea-tures在其他国家和国际核心设施中为ICAN提供了独特的知名度，并使其成为纳米和表面分析领域的服务测量的出色选择。在此提案（2017-2020）中，将采取进一步的措施，以增强提供的服务材料概况并扩大ICAN的整体外部影响。为此，ICAN中的服务和技术将被调整并扩展到Cenide当地研究小组的特定需求。将建立用于3D分析的进一步的先进微观技术，原位特性和测量物质特性。专用样品转移系统的设置将使敏感材料分析。基于新型激光的甲基动物会补充样品制备技术的池。为了说明单个技术和特定服务软件包的特定功能，申请说明正在解开。结合专门的质量管理，公共关系和学术外观活动，针对外部用户的进一步利用和百分比。将扩大与其他核心设施和显微镜中心的Col Lakoration，以建立战略联盟并共同促进行动，以进一步支持并建立这些全国服务设施。总体而言，在其他核心设施和显微镜中心，这些动作将固有地增强ICAN并进一步增强其概况。 UDE统治者慷慨地支持了这些结构建设措施，因此，ICAN的长期结构和财务可持续性远远超出了拟议项目的时间范围。
