ICMS is establishing major scientific user facilities to serve both in-house researchers and researchers from other universities. This facility will house specialized instrumentation maintained and run by experts.
The research facilities will include:
- Ultra High Resolution Electron Microscope
- Pulse Laser Deposition
- Molecular Beam Epitaxy System
- X-ray Diffractometer and others
The Centre for Computational Materials Science (CCMS), a constituent of ICMS, is one of the most powerful academic computing resources in the country.
- The Centre is equipped with a High Performance Computing Facility. This facility is a HP XC Cluster, comprising of 128 nodes of dual core, dual CPU Xeon Woodcrest CPUs over a low latency network. The theoretical peak performance of this configuration is estimated at 6 TFLOPS.
- An Instructional Computing Laboratory, containing 30 computers enables the students attending workshops to acquire hands-on experience in writing and running sophisticated codes.
- CCMS provides a variety of analytical and computational tools to carry out research in the broad area of computational materials science.
