MMRC Mission

The mission of the MMRC is to foster cutting-edge interdiscipinary 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 develope 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. See the instrument's webpage for the contact information. After being trained researchers will be able to reserve time on an instrument through the online instruement 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:
