The development of the next generation of electronic, optical, and biomedical devices requires methods that can quickly manipulate and charaterise matter at the mamoscale. The aim of this proposal is to establish new tools that will allow researchers to build novel device structures and analyse them at nanoscale spacial resolutions. The new facilities are required to meet the demands of a growing number of innovative projects being undertaken within a large multidisciplinary consortium of research groups. The facilities will be housed in state-of-the-art laborotories and managed as open access resources for researchers which will enable advances in the areas of energy harvesting, environmental monitoring, and electronics.
