Description

An SA in-situ Scanning Electron Microscopy facility for Advanced Materials. This proposal aims to establish Australia’s first open access in-situ scanning electron microscope with Raman. The custom-built platform will provide state-of-the-art investigations of advanced materials under environmental conditions, including temperatures from -5 to 1000°C, tensile stress up to 5kN, gaseous and liquid environments, under bias and electrochemical control. The multifunctional platform will directly correlate chemical composition with microstructure with in-situ Raman microscopy providing insight into chemical changes of materials under working conditions. The expected outcomes are the development of new materials for next generation batteries, solar cells, quantum materials, mining, defence and advanced manufacturing. . Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 4017 - Mechanical Engineering. Lead: Prof Sarah Harmer
