Karlsruhe Nano Micro Facility for Information-driven Material Structuring and Characterization (KNMFi)

KNMFi is a high-tech platform for information-driven structuring and characterizing a multitude of functional materials at the micro- and nanoscale. KNMFi offers access to a uniquely complete set of fabrication, characterization and information technologies. Users from academia and industry, either national or international, can apply for open and – if the results are published – free access. Annual deadlines for the submission of proposals are January 15 and June 15. (proposal submission). The call deadlines do not apply to proposals from users of Helmholtz Centers. Helmholtz proposals can be submitted at any time and will be continuously reviewed.

The highly qualified KNMFi staff will guide users through the relevant processes and techniques to address their processing goals and characterization needs. KNMFi encourages the early discussion of planned projects and scientific goals and is open for long-term collaborations.

KNMFi bundles activities in terms of digitalization, data handling and information management and supports the implementation of FAIR data management, linking KIT’s RDM services with the practical implementation of ELNs for day-to-day scientific work.
