Welcome to the Stanford Nanocharacterization Laboratory
located in the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials

The Stanford Nanocharacterization Laboratory (SNL), housed within the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials, provides modern facilities for the characterization of materials. It is a sister facility to the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF) in Stanford's National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) program. The instruments are available for all qualified users in the Stanford community, and for Stanford collaborators both locally and globally. Our mission is to provide high quality, useful data and insight for as wide a range of users as possible. We have several types of high resolution microscopes, X-ray diffractometers, and surface science analytical instruments.
