The Analytical Instrumentation Facility is excited to host its annual Open House and User Appreciation on September 6, 2024. Please join us for our annual Open House & User Appreciation. During this time, we’ll have pizza, an introduction for new users, and AIF tours for those interested in the AIF. Although the event is free,…
Join us for a Vacuum Technology Short Course on July 18, 2024 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at Monteith Research Center. This is primarily a hands on course with some lecture time. Individuals will work on two functioning vacuum systems. Each attendee will manually remove and install components to learn practical knowledge when dealing…
The Analytical Instrumentation Facility is now offering a short course on practical scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The goal of the course is to provide students basic practical knowledge of SEM imaging and elemental analysis (EDS). Participants will be encouraged to attend in person (in person is required for hands-on SEM time). A virtual lecture feed…

Join Gatan and the Analytical Instrumentation Facility (AIF) at NC State University for a hybrid workshop featuring advanced capabilities and techniques in the realm of imaging and diffraction. Learn how large-format, high-speed cameras can transform a transmission electron microscope (TEM) into a high-throughput, data-generating machine. See how high-speed diffraction experiments like 4D STEM are…
Please make sure you have a valid agreement with AIF. You'll also need to take the AIF Safety Training course in REPORTER. Go here for more information.
Rietveld refinement, a whole pattern fitting refinement technique, is one of the most important methods for structural analysis of crystalline materials. This Rietveld refinement workshop introduces the basic theory of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and factors that would affect an XRD pattern. Also, a 2-hour hands-on session will be including in this workshop! During the hands-on…
