The facility uses existing facilities such as the National Synchrotron Light Source and the Laser Electron Accelerator facility. It also provides clean rooms, general laboratories, and wet and dry laboratories for sample preparation, fabrication, and analysis. Equipment includes that needed for laboratory and fabrication facilities for e-beam lithography, transmission electron microscopy, scanning probes and surface characterization, material synthesis and fabrication, and spectroscopy._5c8ccdba-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db69Atomic StructuresDetermine the atomic structure of materials._5c8ccf5e-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db692National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS)The NSLS at Brookhaven National Laboratory, commissioned in 1982, consists of two distinct electron storage rings. The x-ray storage ring is 170 meters in circumference and can accommodate 60 beamlines or experimental stations, and the vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) storage ring can provide 25 additional beamlines around its circumference of 51 meters. Synchrotron light from the x-ray ring is used to determine the atomic structure of materials using diffraction, absorption, and imaging techniques. Experiments at the VUV ring help solve the atomic and electronic structure as well as the magnetic properties of a wide array of materials. These data are fundamentally important to virtually all of the physical and life sciences as well as providing immensely useful information for practical applications. NSLS will be replaced by a new light source, NSLS-II, which is currently under construction. NSLS-II will be optimized to deliver ultra-high brightness and flux and exceptional beam stability, enabling the study of material properties and functions down to a spatial resolution of 1 nm and energy resolution of 0.1 meV, with sensitivity sufficient to perform spectroscopy on a single atom._5c8cd058-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db69ACER[Support] energy research._5c8cd15c-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db693Accelerator Center for Energy Research (ACER)_5c8cd242-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db69UniverseStudy what the universe may have looked like in the first few moments after its creation._5c8cd508-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db694Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)RHIC at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a world-class scientific research facility that began operation in 2000, following 10 years of development and construction. Hundreds of physicists from around the world use RHIC to study what the universe may have looked like in the first few moments after its creation. RHIC drives two intersecting beams of gold ions head-on, in a subatomic collision. What physicists learn from these collisions may help us understand more about why the physical world works the way it does, from the smallest subatomic particles, to the largest stars._5c8cd620-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db69Ion BeamsProvide researchers with beams of more than 40 different types of ions._5c8cd706-3898-11e4-980b-2ef37966db695Tandem Van de Graaff FacilityCompleted in 1970, the Tandem Van de Graaff facility was for many years the world's largest electrostatic accelerator facility. It can provide researchers with beams of more than 40 different types of ions -- atoms that have been stripped of their electrons. Ions ranging from hydrogen to uranium are available.
