Spatially Resolved Characterization
The data analysis tools include:
- Custom-written processing and visualization routines for user-assisted data processing
- Data warehouse connections for data harvesting
- Project-specific databases for data analysis and visualization, such as the High-Throughput Experimental Materials Database.
We also offer combinatorial thin-film deposition capabilities. For more information, see High-Throughput Experimental Approach Capabilities.
Core Objective
Location
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
Applications
We extend our high-throughput experimental, combinatorial capabilities to handle insulators—e.g. multifunctional coatings for anti-soiling, antireflection, etc.—and potentially metals, e.g. electrical connections such as solder bonds.
Availability
These resources are available to NREL scientists and external collaborators.
