The 10th AINSE-ANBUG Neutron Scattering Symposium was held at ANSTO from the 7th-9th November. This event saw some fantastic presentations on the innovative area of neutron scattering. These researchers at ANSTO are using the neutron scattering technique to characterise the structure and composition of a variety of materials.
UWS Innovation helped to sponsor this
event. Here at
UWS Innovation we want to encourage innovative research, collaboration with
other researchers
and promote the University of Western Sydney’s research capabilities.
Two
University of Western Sydney representatives, Victoria Hirst (Project Officer,
UWS Innovation) and Dr David Nelson (UWS SIMS Operator) attended the Symposium
to showcase the UWS Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer (SIMS). The UWS Cameca IMS
5fE7 ion microprobe can be used for high resolution depth profiling as well as
surface analysis and ion imaging that the University has recently upgraded, and
it is now available to both researchers and industry.
The SIMS
has many fields of application, including:
- Semiconductor devices
- Materials science
- Geology
- Energy conversion components
- Biological materials that can sustain ultra high vacuum
If you
have any questions or would like to find out more information about the SIMS or
any other instrumentation here at the University of Western Sydney please
