New Instrument Alert in the NE-MRC!
Starting August 2022 in partnership with Anton Paar the NE-MRC will be hosting an exciting new XRD instrument --- the new Anton Paar XRDynamic 500!
Exciting new capabilities include:
Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) capabilities
Non-Ambient measurements from -20 °C to 600 °C
Gas tight sample holder for air sensitive samples
Vacuum sample chamber for improved signal to noise ratio
Two X-ray sources to choose from -- Cu or Co
For an overview of the new capabilities this instrument has to offer please check out the NE-MRC News page and for application examples and for more information about the different sample chambers and stages it features check out the XRDynamic 500 instrument page.
Consultation, demo measurements and individual training available now!
For more information about the capabilities of the new Anton Paar XRDynamic 500 or to discuss your samples and research goals please fill out this google form. To request training on the new Anton Paar XRDynamic 500 please use the NE-MRC FOM system!
Mission Statement
"The Department of NanoEngineering's Materials Research Center (NE-MRC), consisting of 5 complementary materials preparation and characterization suites, was established in 2012 to provide both researchers in the department of NanoEngineering and researchers from other (UCSD) departments with comprehensive materials characterization capabilities in a centralized facility and foster interdisciplinary interaction and collaboration."
If you have used the NE-MRC for your research please send us an email with the reference for the publication so we can update our publication list.
