MCMP Research
We are interested in the link between a material's structure and its function - for example, how the precise arrangement of atoms in a complex oxide can imbue desirable magnetic properties, or how the chemistry of nanometre-sized precipitates enhances the strength of steels.
Please follow the links to learn more of our main research areas.
- Magnetic Nanostructures
- Functional Materials
- Theory and Modelling
- Instrumentation Development: Pixelated STEM
Our projects are funded principally through Research Councils, the European Commission and the Scottish Funding Council. A number of projects are industrially-sponsored and up to 20% of our instrument usage is for external contract work, managed by the Kelvin Nanocharacterisation Centre .
