Northwestern University Atomic and Nanoscale Characterization Experimental Center (NUANCE)
NUANCE Center offers a comprehensive set of instrumentation, techniques, and expertise for diverse characterization of materials and structures – down to the atomic and molecular scales. Consisting of three complementary facilities (EPIC, NIFTI, and Keck-II), NUANCE Center provides instrumental analysis for all characterization needs, ranging from electron micropscopy to nano-indentation to surface chemical analysis.
Northwestern University Micro/Nano Fabrication Facility (NUFAB)
NUFAB is an advanced micro/nano fabrication research facility that provides equipment for characterization, deposition, etching, ashing, and photolithography in a clean room environment. NUFAB supports research in MEMs/NEMs, nano-bio, nano/microelectronics, and other related areas.
Jerome B. Cohen X-Ray Diffraction Facility
The x-ray diffraction facility provides general-purpose x-ray equipment for diffraction and fluorescence studies. Examples of current measurements are powder diffraction, single-crystal diffraction, thin-film reflectivity, thin-film diffraction, crystal truncation rod scattering, small angle scattering, Laue diffraction, wave-length dispersive x-ray fluorescence, x-ray standing waves, and high-resolution x-ray diffraction.
Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC)
MRSEC develops and supports collaborative, interdisciplinary research and education in the science and engineering of nano-scale multifunctional material structures. MRSEC maintains a number of shared facilities that provide access to state-of-the-art equipment.
