The purpose is the supply, installation and commissioning of a probe scanning microscope and optical spectroscopy under controlled atmosphere conditions for the ICN2. Funded by the MCIN with funding from the European Union-NextGenerationEU (PRTR-C17. I1) and by the Generalitat de Catalunya. This contract is funded by the European Union's Recovery and Resilience Facility, established by Council Regulation (EU) 2020/2094 of 14 December 2020. It is part of the implementation of the Complementary R+D+I Plans with the autonomous communities, which are part of component 17 of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. (Full publicity of this contract is indicated in the Terms and Conditions).
The object of the contract is the supply, installation and commissioning of a probe microscope and optical spectroscopy under controlled atmosphere conditions for the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2). The equipment in question has three measurement techniques: probe scanning microscopy (SPM), Raman near-field scattering spectroscopy (TERS), and micro Raman. Specifically, this equipment must meet specific and performance requirements in order to be able to carry out the following objectives:
• Characterization of spectroscopy in the visible (400-900 nm) in both macroscopic and nanoscopic systems under operating conditions and under different environmental conditions, including gases and liquids.
• Spectroscopic characterization with different polarizations.
• Measure spectroscopic maps with spatial resolution below 50 nm.
• Spectroscopy measurements under electrochemical conditions with spatial resolution below 50 nm.
• Typical measurements associated with an atomic force microscope: topography, lateral forces, tip-sample adhesion, electric and magnetic forces, piezoelectric responses, etc.
Funded by the MCIN with funding from the European Union-NextGenerationEU (PRTR-C17. I1) and by the Generalitat de Catalunya.
This contract is funded by the European Union Recovery and Resilience Facility, established by Council Regulation (EU) 2020/2094 of 14 December 2020 establishing a European Union Recovery Instrument to support the recovery following the COVID-19 crisis, and regulated by Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2021 establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility, and will be subject to all the regulations governing the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
It is part of the implementation of the Complementary R+D+I Plans with the autonomous communities, which are part of component 17 of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, called "Institutional reform and strengthening of the capacities of the National System of Science, Technology and Innovation", specifically in the R+D SUBPROJECT "CORRELATIVE IN-SITU INSTALLATION FOR ADVANCED MATERIALS FOR ENERGY (In-CAEM)" OF THE COMPLEMENTARY PLAN IN THE AREA OF MATERIALS ADVANCED as part of the actions of the Advanced Materials programme "Materials with functionalities advanced for the new technological transformation", corresponding to the Autonomous Community of Catalonia, managed through the Department of Research and Universities of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
