About
University of Bristol awarded a contract to N/A for the supply of an X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) system and an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) transfer system.
The contract covered two lots awarded to the same supplier.
The XPS system is intended for high lateral resolution and depth profiling, while the UHV transfer system will connect the new XPS with an existing deposition facility, enabling in-situ transfer of actinide thin film samples.
The equipment supports the FaRMS project, part of the National Nuclear User Facility, which provides access to the nuclear research sector.
The contract value was £553,006.75.
