Dr. Thierry Maffeis will show how Swansea’s new SEM facility can be used to obtain superb high definition images of anything from polymers and composites to micro and nano machines and devices to biological tissues and cells. Dr. Maffies will cover a broad range of industrial applications for SEM such as surface chemical analysis of metals and ceramics\, imaging of surface structures\, failure analysis from imaging of defects\, and many more. \nDr. Peter Dunstan will describe scanning probe microscopy systems that can reveal detailed 3-D topography of surfaces from the micron to nanoscale.  The systems he will describe can be used on metallic\, semiconducting and insulating materials.  He will also discuss the centre’s state-of-the-art instrumentation that allows these scanning probe systems to be used in conjunction with optical spectroscopy analysis\, namely fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy.  He will focus on the technique of Raman spectroscopy for complementary chemical and structural analysis.   Rapid acquisition techniques to nanoscale analysis will be highlighted.  Industrial applications will focus on nano-structures\, such as carbon nanotubes. \nDetails of biological Raman spectroscopy will also be presented. \nProf. Huw Summers will describe how micro and nano-fabrication techniques can be used to build tiny devices and machines for applications in electronic devices\, sensors\, micro fluidics (lab-on-chip)\,  telecommunications\, solar cells\,  automotive and aerospace.
