STATUS, SOURCES, AND SPECIAL PROBLEMS OF INSTRUMENTATION FACILITIES COSTING MORE THAN S250,000 A Background The group that reviewed these large facilities had detailed knowledge of the status of scanning transmission electron microscopy, synchrotron radiation facilities, high-intensity neutron sources, and the national submicrometer research facility.

STATUS, SOURCES, AND SPECIAL PROBLEMS OF INSTRUMENTATION IN THE $50,000 TO S250,000 RANGE A Typical Equipment under Consideration Such equipment includes: 0 Surface analysis equipment -- single- or multiple-use equipment for LEED and ion scattering 0 Fourier-transform infrared spectrometers o Computer-controlled laser Raman spectrometers 0 High-resolution gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer combinations o Transmission electron microscopes o Low-temperature facilities (for 4He liquefaction, 3He/4He dilution refrigeration, and the like)

Many potential users in industry and at universities are not aware of the equipment available at a given institution or are not familiar with the capabilities or operation of the equipment. Dissemination of lists of available equipment and facilities to the solid-state science community and the initiation of short training courses for potential users of state-ofthe-art instrumentation would thus be particularly useful There are no simple mechanisms by which equipment purchased with federal funds can be used by the industrial community.

Procedures should be provided to charge equipment time to outside users to aid their part-time access to modern federally funded scientific instruments at universities and national laboratories. The services of technicians and other support personnel who may be necessary for efficient utilization and maintenance of instruments, especially shared instruments, should be included, whenever possible, in the normal operating procedures and costs.

University Useful equ ipment can also be found on federal government excess property lists. Another source for equipment that has served its original purpose but is still usable is private industry.

The DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences supports major facilities at the national laboratories. The new synchrotron light source at Brookhaven National Laboratory, the various high-energy electron microscope facilities under construction, and the intense pulsed neutron sources at Argonne National Laboratory and under construction at Los Alamos National Laboratory will all have significant impacts on materials characterization in the near future.

Another particularly significant program is the new DOD-University Research Instrumentation Program. This program began in fiscal year 1983 and is budgeted at $30 million per year for 5 years.
