The university is looking to purchase a focused ion beam secondary electron microscope (FIB-SEM) that can handle various samples from different fields including semiconductors, energy materials (such as batteries and photovoltaics), civil engineering, metallurgy, etc. The instrument must excel in analysing thin film multilayer structures and devices (e.g. thin film solar cells), which typically consist of layers ranging from 1 micron to less than 20nm thick, requiring 3-dimensional microstructure analysis. The instrument must have excellent imaging capabilities, as well as the ability to handle Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) investigations. We also require a TOF-SIMS detector and electron beam-induced current (EBIC) electronics.

The University is completing the build of three 6U CubeSats as part of a technology demonstration mission funded by the UK Space Agency. This mission will see the launch of two 6U CubeSats into a sun-synchronous Low Earth Orbit (expected 450 km altitude) in 2026/7. The third 6U CubeSat is our reference model. The payload being developed for assembly integration and testing within the 6U CubeSat bus is a 2U laser communications terminal. The mission goal will be to demonstrate inter-satellite laser optical communications across a range of link lengths up to 1000 km and at least 1 Gbps data transfer rates between the 6U CubeSats. There will be a requirement for a number of ground-passes for frequent data downlink of the experimental results log files and the mission is anticipated to last for 1 year, including a deorbit final stage.
