The '''Center for Functional Nanomaterials''' ('''CFN''') is a science laboratory specializing in nanoscale research. It is located at the [[Brookhaven National Laboratory]] on Long Island, [[New York (state)|New York]], United States. | |||
The CFN provides capabilities for the fabrication and study of nanoscale materials, with an emphasis on atomic-level tailoring to achieve desired properties and functions. The CFN is a science-based user facility, simultaneously developing scientific programs while offering access to its capabilities and collaboration through an active user program.<ref name="CFN About">{{Cite web |title=Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) |url=https://www.bnl.gov/cfn/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200925063408/https://www.bnl.gov/cfn/ |archive-date=2020-09-25 |access-date=2020-10-04 |website=[[Brookhaven National Laboratory]]}}</ref> | |||

The CFN is housed in a building consisting of offices and laboratories, located next to the [[National Synchrotron Light Source]] (NSLS). The facility contains five groups of laboratories called Laboratory Facilities, a Theory and Computational Center, and a set of advanced endstations on beamlines at the NSLS. | The CFN is housed in a building consisting of offices and laboratories, located next to the [[National Synchrotron Light Source]] (NSLS).

'''Partner Users''' are General users who also enhance the facility capabilities or contribute to the Center operation. They typically help develop instrumentation in some manner, either by bringing external financial or intellectual capital into the development of the facility. These contributions must be made available to the General Users and, therefore, benefit the overall User Program as well as the facility. Partner Users are provided negotiated access to one or more capabilities over a period of several years. | |||
==== Rapid Access ==== | |||
Users who feel that the timeliness of their research may be negatively affected by the length of the whole proposal-review process can request Rapid Access. Proposals submitted for rapid access are reviewed and approved by the CFN Director, technically assisted, if necessary, by pertinent group or facility leaders. Besides being feasible at the CFN and scientifically important, proposals being considered for Rapid Access must include a justification of the time-sensitive nature of the project. | |||
