Experimental Facilities
ChemMatCARS is a high-brilliance national synchrotron x-ray facility dedicated primarily to static and dynamic condensed matter chemistry and materials science.
The scientific focus of the facility includes the study of surface and interfacial properties of liquids and solids as well as their bulk structure at atomic, molecular and mesoscopic lenght scales with high spatial and energy resolution.
Upgrades will extend the energy range of the beamline, increase X-ray resolution and brilliance, and permit more efficient use of beam time
ChemMatCARS experimental stations include:
• First Optical Enclosure (FOE) in the ID-A line
• ID-B
• ID-C
• ID-D
A Chemistry Lab is also available for users.
ChemMatCARS is mainly supported by the National Science Foundation / Department of Energy under grant number CHE-0535644.
The Australian Synchrotron Research Program contributes to ChemMatCARS with funding from the Australian Major National Research Facilities Program.
