CryoFACE

The CryoFACE facility contains a Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS), Magnetic Properties Measurement System (MPMS), and X-ray diffractometer.

Training

Before users are allowed to operate the equipment at the Facility, they are required to attend a training session and pass a test. To schedule a training session, download the Request Training Form and email it to our facility staff (contact information below).

Booking Equipment

You are requested to book your time slot in advance via StaffLink → Facility Booking → Central Equipment (for research staff) or Student Intranet/GSLink → Facility Booking → Central Equipment (for students). If you are not an NTU staff member or student, please email our facility staff (contact information below).

The fee schedule is shown below. Note that different rates are charged for College of Science (CoS) users, NTU users, non-NTU academic users, and commercial users.
