[Bnc-faculty-all-list] National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM) Proposals

[Jeff Goecker]

Dear Colleagues,
The National Center for
Electron Microscopy, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a DOE User 
Facility
for Electron Scattering, is currently accepting research proposals for 
the next
quarterly deadline of June 15, 2010.
The mission of
the National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM) is to provide
scientists from universities, government and industrial laboratories 
with
cutting-edge instrumentation, techniques and expertise for advanced 
electron
beam microcharacterization of materials at high spatial
resolution.  Access to NCEM is free of charge for research that is in
the public domain and intended for open publication.
NCEM is one of the world’s
foremost centers for electron optical microcharacterization with a 
resident
staff of scientists who conduct high-level research and collaborate with
external research groups to maximize the impact of electron optical 
methods on
materials science. NCEM’s major focus is in the following areas of
research: Defects and deformation; Mechanisms and kinetics of phase
transformations; Nanostructured materials; Surfaces, interfaces and thin films.
Prospective users are encouraged
to contact NCEM staff to discuss proposal ideas in advance of submission and to
learn more about special capabilities of particular interest (see the 
Staff
section of the NCEM web page). Approved projects will receive user 
access and
work can begin as soon as possible after this notification.
The following instruments are
accessible to users:   
 
        •
double-Cs-corrected TEAM 0.5 Microscope / Cs+Cc-corrected TEAM I
        •
One-Angstrom Microscope (CM300)
        •
CM200/FEG Analytical TEM/STEM
        •
Spin-Polarized Low-Energy Electron Microscope
        •
JEOL 3010 In-situ TEM
        •
FEI Dual-beam FIB
        •
Monochromated FEI Tecnai F20 TEM/STEM
        •
Monochromated Zeiss Libra TEM/STEM Microscope
 
All proposals will be reviewed for
feasibility, safety, and potential for high-impact science.   Users
for approved projects must complete access and training requirements 
prior to
beginning experiments. If you have any questions please contact NCEM's
administrator JLCavlina at lbl.gov
