A first set of facilities capable of supporting state of the art research in nanoscience combining nanomaterial synthesis, nano-characterization and spectroscopy are ready for access at the NFFA-Trieste station. These facilities were part of the European design study carried out under FP7 and have been developed under the NFFA-Demonstrator phase funded by MIUR through CNR and Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste.
NFFA-Trieste gives unique access to in-situ Pulsed Laser Deposition synthesis of advanced materials and surfaces in continuous UHV environment with the all new Spin-Resolved Angular Resolved Photoemission as well as X-ray near edge absorption and X-ray absorption Magnetic Dichroism exploiting the APE beamline variable polarization undulator sources. An all-new MBE-growth cluster is also open to access featuring metal-oxide MBE growth, masked growth, in-situ Kerr effect up to 0.6 Tesla and advanced XPS and surface analysis. Surface characterization includes atomic resolution STM/STS and vectorial-MOKE at low H-fields.
A full description of the available facilities and access application forms are described in the all new www.Trieste.NFFA.eu portal.
The open-access (free of charge) is awarded on the basis of the merit of the proposals, as evaluated for technical feasibility by NFFA-Trieste and for scientific priority by international referees.
The upgraded NFFA-Trieste APE-beamline spectrometers will continue to be available also through the Elettra proposal system for spectroscopy, but some beamtime access will be awarded as a part of the nanoscience project when justified by the proposal needs and scope.
Access to NFFA-Trieste will be an element of competitiveness for the Italian and international users. The proposals will be evaluated as they are submitted in a no-deadline process. The dialogue with the NFFA-Trieste staff, through the www.Trieste.NFFA.eu portal, will help in preparing competitive proposals.
