We propose to create and equip the Nanomaterials Characterisation Suite (NCS), a shared facility designed to provide a substantial boost to world-leading activities at the University of Sheffield (UoS) in EPSRC-funded research areas of: Photonic Materials; Quantum Optics and Information; Quantum Devices, Components and Systems; Light Matter Interaction and Optical Phenomena; Solar Technology; Polymer Materials. We request funds for a versatile imaging spectroscopic ellipsometer; a high stability, high resolution, atomic force microscope; and, if the additional funding is available, an additional item, a mid-infrared quantum cascade laser for nano-imaging and nano-spectroscopy. This investment will underpin our world-class programmes on research and development of nanomaterials. It will provide researchers with access to state-of-the-art instruments for nanoscale structural and optical analysis of broad classes of thin films and nano-structured materials. This will significantly expand and complement our existing capabilities in these areas and enable new scientific breakthroughs.

我们建议创建并装备纳米材料表征套件 (NCS)，这是一个共享设施，旨在为谢菲尔德大学 (UoS) 在 EPSRC 资助的研究领域的世界领先活动提供实质性推动：光子材料；量子光学与信息；量子器件、组件和系统；光物质相互作用和光学现象；太阳能技术；高分子材料。我们请求资金用于多功能成像光谱椭偏仪；高稳定性、高分辨率的原子力显微镜；如果有额外的资金，还可以增加一个项目，即用于纳米成像和纳米光谱学的中红外量子级联激光器。这项投资将支持我们世界一流的纳米材料研发项目。它将为研究人员提供最先进的仪器，用于对各类薄膜和纳米结构材料进行纳米级结构和光学分析。这将显着扩展和补充我们在这些领域的现有能力，并实现新的科学突破。
