We run the Cambridge Atom Scattering Centre (CASC), which operates the facilities that underpin our research.
Several major pieces of instrumentation within the centre include:
Spin-Echo:
- a unique and world-leading instrument
- provides correlation measurements that combine both picosecond time and Angstrom spatial resolution
- ideal for diffusion and vibrational studies
Atom Diffractometer (‘Miniscat’):
- a compact, general purpose instrument for atom-surface scattering
- well suited to growth, diffraction and related measurements (e.g. e-ph coupling)
- also used for sample preparation
A-SHeM:
- first generation Scanning Helium Microscope (SHeM)
- single detector, high resolution
B-SHeM:
- second generation Scanning Helium Microscope (SHeM)
- multi-detector capability with horizontal geometry and flexible sample access
CASC systems are available to external users for both collaborative and non-collaborative research.
