Center for Functional Nanomaterials

The Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) enables users to synthesize, fabricate, and characterize nanomaterials for quantum information science. Advanced capabilities for in situ and operando characterization using electron beams and X-rays facilitate new understanding of the limitations of current quantum materials, while world-leading nanomaterial synthesis by assembly provides a pathway to discovery of next-generation nanomaterials designed from the start to have the properties required for quantum information processing.
