| The Shared Research Equipment (SHaRE) User Facility and Program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) provides microanalytical facilities for studies within the materials sciences. Researchers from U.S. universities, industries, and government laboratories collaborate with ORNL scientists to perform research not possible at their home institutions. As such, the SHaRE Facility is part of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Materials MicroCharacterization Collaboratory (MMC) Program which seeks to create a virtual on-line laboratory around centers of excellence in microcharacterization that are accessible from anywhere on the Internet. A wide range of research projects has been conducted at the SHaRE facilities, most of which seek correlations at the microscopic or atomic scale between structure and properties in a wide range of metallic, ceramic, and other structural materials. |
