Brief description The new equipment will provide a unique facility for single crystal, powder and thin film structure elucidation using X-ray diffraction techniques. No other techniques have the capabilities in structure determination of materials at an atomic level which are necessary for delivering applications in nano-technology, health care products, amongst many fields, for the benefit for the community at large. The facility will foster a more innovative research culture and provide excellent research training at the highest international level, and will provide a platform to maximise access to the new Opal Research Reactor and Australian Synchrotron.
