Description

Comprehensive and Versatile In-house X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Facility. This projects aims to address the growing demand for x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), by installing Australia's first in-house suite of instruments to complement and enhance capabilities at the Australian Synchrotron (AS). This project expects to generate new knowledge across a wide range of science and engineering fields, by using XAS to acquire unique new information about structure and bonding in functional materials and molecules, from which rational strategies can be designed to improve their performance. Expected outcomes of this project include the ability to perform experiments currently unavailable or impractical at the AS. This should provide significant benefits flowing from a bigger and better-trained national XAS user base.. Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 3402 - Inorganic Chemistry.
