Materials
The materials physics side of our experimental program will be undertaken by the ANU, ANSTO and UWA. Each institution brings a range of experience in positron handling techniques and materials characterisation experiments.
The goal of this work is to provide new tools for Australian scientists to investigate the properties of novel materials, such as polymers and thin films. It is also hoped that it will be useful in the investigation of such properties as surface effects, fatigue in some metals and even for some medical applications.
Three types of experiments in materials analysis are planned within CAMS, PALS, 2D-Doppler and surface studies. More information on these techniques, and the experimental apparatus to be used, can be found using the menu on the right.
