Science Needs for High Performance Laboratories

Kamal Hossein
   
 
  Speaker:
Kamal Hossain
NPL
 
 
In this presentation, NPL's priority areas for development in measurement science for the future will be described briefly. This will include fields such as nanotechnology, quantum metrology, biotechnology and photonics. Potential requirements for future laboratory facilities to achieve our strategic plan for science will be discussed.

The Aberration Corrected Electron Microscope (ACEM) at ORNL

The Advanced Materials Characterization Laboratory (AMCL): The presentation will cover the design of the laboratory and its purpose. The Aberration Corrected Electron Microscope (ACEM) coming to the HTML and several other microscopes being developed for ORNL will require a very special environment in order to reach their design resolution. Electromagnetic fields, mechanical vibration, noise, room temperature fluctuations, and barometric pressure changes all have the ability to degrade microscope performance. The ACEM, for example, will need to have ambient electromagnetic fields below 0.3 milligauss; nowhere in the existing HTML building is the field below 1 milligauss. The AMCL will be designed to minimize all potential deleterious environmental influences. The ACEM will be housed "room within a room," and will be operated from an adjoining control room. Thus there will be no operator with the instrument, which will minimize noise and thermal fluctuations.

Constructing Advanced Technology Buildings takes special forethought and focus to actually achieve what is required to have them perform. Advanced Technology construction requires special construction methods and rigorous attention to details. This presentation will cover the emphasis needed during the construction process and present some lessons learned.
