Description
University of Florida in Gainesville
The NHMFL's sister university at UF is home to user facilities in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultra-low temperature, ultra-quiet environment for experimental studies in the High B/T (high magnetic field/low temperature) Facility. Facilities are also available for the fabrication and characterization of nanostructures at a new Nanofabrication Facility being operated in conjunction with UF's Major Analytical and Instrumentation Center.
The MRI and spectroscopy capabilities of the NHMFL are located at UF in the Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy (AMRIS) facilities. AMRIS is part of the McKnight Brain Institute, and faculty from AMRIS, MBI, the UF Center for Structural Biology, and the College of Medicine maintain strong collaborative interactions. AMRIS house a wide variety of state-of-the-art instrumentation for studies including biological solid-state NMR, solution NMR, microimaging, animal imaging, and human imaging. The 11.1 MRI system, which has a 40 cm bore, is used to image small animals. This unique MRI magnet allows researchers to take higher resolution images of the brain to study the effects of epilepsy, strokes, spinal cord injuries, tumors, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. In addition, a 750 MHz wide bore NMR/MRI magnet system is capable of taking very high quality 3D images.
The High B/T Facility housed within the UF Microkelvin Laboratory provides experimental capabilities for studies requiring temperatures just above absolute zero (0.4 mK) and fields up to 20 tesla. This facility gives physicists the reliability and precision needed for exploring phenomena at the lowest possible temperatures and opens new research opportunities in quantum fluids, semiconductor multi-layers, and nuclear magnetism.
