This proposal is for funding to support the purchase of Core Equipment across the University of Southampton. Following an internal shortlisting process, items were identified as being either key underpinning items for areas of national importance, opportunities to invest to save, or core equipment for the benefit of early career researchers.We will:1. Procure a laser diffraction system to analyse wet dispersed samples and of dry dispersed particles;2. Procure a Hall-effect measurement system to enable research in advanced materials such as biomaterials, functional ceramics and inorganics, graphene and carbon;3. Procure an ambient photoemission spectroscopy tool to improve the performance of light absorbing and emitting devices, such as solar cells, photodetectors and light emitting devices (LEDs);4. Procure a high resolution 3D digital microscope in the Imaging and Microscopy Centre to accelerate the development of the serial crystallography technique.Collectively these items align to the call objectives of procuring underpinning equipment (1-4) and core equipment to benefit Early Career Researchers (1-4). The research enabled by these investment aligns to EPSRC priority areas within Physical Sciences, Engineering, Energy and ICT, and national priorities including Infrastructure, Climate Change and Advanced Materials.

该提案旨在提供资金支持购买南安普顿大学的核心设备。经过内部入围流程后，项目被确定为国家重要领域的关键基础项目、投资储蓄机会或有利于早期职业研究人员的核心设备。我们将：1．采购激光衍射系统来分析湿分散样品和干分散颗粒；2．采购霍尔效应测量系统，以支持生物材料、功能陶瓷和无机材料、石墨烯和碳等先进材料的研究；3．采购环境光电发射光谱工具，以提高光吸收和发射器件的性能，例如太阳能电池、光电探测器和发光器件（LED）；4．在成像和显微镜中心采购一台高分辨率 3D 数字显微镜，以加速串行晶体学技术的发展。总的来说，这些项目符合采购基础设备 (1-4) 和核心设备的呼吁目标，以使早期职业研究人员受益 (1 -4）。这些投资促成的研究符合 EPSRC 物理科学、工程、能源和信息通信技术领域的优先领域，以及基础设施、气候变化和先进材料等国家优先领域。
