The Geoscience Atom Probe forms part of the Advanced Resource Characterisation Facility (ARCF), a National Resource Sciences Precinct (NRSP) initiative funded by the Science and Industry Endowment Fund (SIEF) and the NRSP partner institutions (CSIRO, Curtin University and the University of Western Australia). The aim of the ARCF is to develop and apply world-leading technologies to resource science, in particular, geoscience.
The Geoscience Atom Probe is hosted in the John de Laeter Centre (JdLC), Curtin University and is a Cameca LEAP 4000X HR system. The instrument was commissioned in the second half of 2015 with Facility staff commencing in September 2015. The JdLC also houses a NRSP-funded Tescan LYRA Focussed-Ion-Beam Scanning Electron Microscope with Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry capability.
We are a new research facility, in an exciting phase of growth, with lots of innovative ideas and plans for the future development of atom probe microscopy in the geosciences.
