MMRC Mission
The mission of the MMRC is to foster cutting-edge interdisciplinary research in the area of surface and materials science
and to provide advanced instrumentation in these areas to the Caltech communities. The center brings together students and
investigators from diverse scientific backgrounds to carryout research and to developed the next generation of instrumentation.
Researchers who would like to make use the Center's instruments need to contact the Laboratory assistant in charge of the instrument for training.
Lab Assistants for each instrument are list on the webpage for that instrument. You will also be require to complete MMRC Safety training If you have already completed CCE safety training you will only need to view the MMRC Safety Slides.
After completing the safety and instrument training, researchers will be able to reserve time on an instrument through the online instrument scheduling program.
Only trained users are allowed to use MMRC instruments.
We ask you to acknowledge the MMRC in publications that include data obtained from work in MMRC laboratories or on MMRC instrumentation. Please include an acknowledgement similar to these:
