The NSQI is an inter-disciplinary centre for research that was opened in 2009. It was constructed to a very high specification at a cost of £11M, to provide ultra-quiet laboratory space for nano-science research. To work on the nano-scale means that tiny vibrations can have a massive impact. To protect the research environment, the building is designed to be a massive construction, built straight onto the bedrock of Bristol (2m of concrete connect the two). The similar material properties of the concrete and rock mean that vibrations pass out of the building very quickly with little dissipation. The building has various features to reduce the movement of vibration around the building and the basement laboratories have experimental spaces with additional isolation features (isolation blocks in the low-noise labs and keel slabs in the ultra-low noise labs). The NSQI has a track record of hosting inter-disciplinary research supporting researchers from a large number of University departments including Aerospace Engineering, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Ophthalmology, Physics, and Physiology & Pharmacology. The NSQI has its own management team, including six technical staff providing well-equipped laboratory facilities in a supported environment. It is operated as a 24/7 centre and has web-based processes in place to administer and access these facilities, making it an ideal environment to host an Ultra High Vacuum Photo-electron Emission Spectroscopy facility. The University of Bristol has been awarded strategic equipment funding by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Council to establish the first UK university facility for material analysis using nano-scale photoemission, to be located in the Bristol Centre for Nano Science and Quantum Information (NSQI) in a world class ultra-low vibration laboratory. The installation of the facility in the NSQI will give materials researchers access to the UK's first Photo Electron Emission Microscopy (PEEM) instrument that offers sub-micron spatial resolution for real-space and k-space (momentum space) surface analysis of advanced materials. This unique instrument will ensure that the pace of materials research is accelerated to deliver scientific breakthroughs that will benefit the UK research base for the next ten years, by supporting physical science projects in the Nuclear, Renewable Energy, Quantum Photonics, Composites, and Nano-Bio themes.
