A flagship combination of expertise and state of the art analytical instruments – CENEM excels in the DFG’s “Core Facilities” initiative

Researchers from the “Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy” (CENEM) at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) have scored a great success in the competition for funds in the DFG (German Research Foundation) initiative “Gerätezentren - Core Facilities”. With the proposal “CENEM – Nanocharacterization with electrons, x-rays and scanning probes”, the scientists have netted a total of 450,000 euros for a period of three years. Through this funding scheme, the DFG supports the “establishment and professionalization of key analytical facilities and networks of both national and international relevance”. The new grant will drive intensification of the facility’s usage ensuring that the cutting edge characterization of materials down to the atomic scale will be available to an even broader spectrum of internal and external clients.
