ASU’s Eyring Materials Center (formally LeRoy Eyring Center for Solid State Science or LE-CSSS) offers advanced capabilities for materials characterization, high resolution imaging and defect analysis. LE-CSSS provides users with Open Access to a broad range of characterization techniques, including optical analysis; surface chemistry, microscopy and morphology; x-ray structural analysis; and elemental and molecular composition. In addition, LE-CSSS has world-class capabilities in high resolution electron microscopy, including three aberration corrected electron microscopes for TEM / STEM and ETEM; environmental SEM; focused ion beam; and electron microprobe. Our facilities are located in three buildings on ASU’s Tempe campus and are supported by a dedicated staff with a commitment to consultative client engagement and to user training. The Center’s instruments are available to the entire ASU research community, and to academic, government and industrial users across the country.
