| Activity |
AIF is actively involved in research and development programs designed to improve methods of materials characterization. These projects are driven by the needs of the user community and generally result in tangible enhancements of the analytical capabilities of the facility. In the recent past, research projects have included the development of computer control systems for data acquisition, the development of hardware attachments to expand the analytical capabilities of AIF instruments, and the development of methodologies to enable more accurate interpretation of acquired data. These research activities are significant in that they have resulted in capabilities available exclusively to users of AIF, and they quickly benefit the research programs of all who make use of the facility.
Began operations on Centennial Campus in 1995. |
