The Cambridge Atom Scattering Facility has been launched in mid 2020 to provide access to internationally unique instrumentation for nanoscale characterisation of surfaces, both structurally and dynamically.

Our main spectroscopy facilities are:
- Spin-Echo for surface-diffusion, potential energy landscapes and molecular scale friction measurements.
- ‘MiniScat’ for diffraction and structural measurements.
Our Neutral Helium Atom Microscopy facilities include
- SHeM for ultra-delicate microscopy down to ~0.5 μm resolution (beam energy 50 milli-eV).
- HR-SHeM (in development) for ultra-delicate microscopy down to ~50 nm resolution (beam energy 50 milli-eV).
We can already provide access to some of our facilities and in-particular we can offer a limited amount of free access to SHeM for imaging trials. Please contact atomscattering@phy.cam.ac.uk for more information.
