Welcome to I16

I16: Materials and Magnetism

Advanced materials continue to be at the forefront of science and technology. Understanding the properties - electronic, mechanical, magnetic - of these materials remains one of the most challenging and active areas of science research.

The Materials and Magnetism beamline provides a unique, world-class single crystal X-ray diffraction facility for studying a diverse range of materials. This versatile diffraction facility is fully optimised to combine high flux and high resolution over a wide and continuously tuneable energy range, for diffraction and scattering experiments in resonant and non-resonant conditions.
