Capabilities that NSLS-II Will Provide

• Spatial resolution of 1 nm to study nanostructures
• Energy resolution of 0.1 meV to study vibrational excitations of nanostructures
• Sensitivity to atomic structure, electronic structure, chemical composition, and magnetic properties to enable in-situ chemical and magnetic imaging
• Sensitivity to surface features to study growth and surface reactions
• Sensitivity to sub-surface features to study interfaces and nanostructures
• Ability to operate in extremes of temperature, pressure, and applied magnetic fields to study growth, catalytic reactions, and materials such as superconductors and magnets
• Ability to handle high sample throughput to enable combinatorial approaches to synthesis of new materials
• Advanced instruments, optics, and detectors to provide the finest spatial and energy resolution of any x-ray synchrotron worldwide.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
