The laboratory, hosting a SuperNova Diffractometer, VSM SQUID, Atomic Force Microscope, Magnetic Force Microscope and sputter deposition facilities is used extensively by students and postdocs from across the Diamond user communities. The Coherent Soft X-Ray Imaging and Diffraction (CSXID) flagship beamline (I17) has completed its technical design review and first orders for the beamline infrastructure have been placed. The I17 team will continue to focus on developing and building two end-stations with advanced sample environments to work on quantum and functional materials. In the coming year, the MMG will continue to focus on developing its capabilities across its beamlines and laboratories with an emphasis on reviewing its suite of data analysis tools.
