The Materials Characterization Facility (MCF) will be one of the featured core facilities at the event. The MCF provides world-class equipment and instrumentation to support scientific advancements of new or improved sustainable energy technologies and systems, as well as the characterization and synthesis of any new materials. Characterization capabilities exist across a wide range of materials analysis, including surface, crystallographic, photovoltaic, electrochemical, trace gas molecule detection, rheometry, dynamic mechanical testing, and tribology. The MCF welcomes users from Notre Dame, other academic institutions, and corporate partnerships. Its mission is to provide researchers with high quality data, excellent training, customer service, education, and instrument acquisition.
