  1. Suzanne V Smith svs@ansto.gov.au Materials and Engineering ScienceANSTOwebsite:http://www.ansto.gov.au/ansto/matengsci/index.html

  2. Expertise Experience in development of targetry, design and execution of radiotracer studies. Development of routine methods and training in use of relevant techniques is also available. Radioanalytical and Chemical Analysis

  3. Facilities Gamma counter (0 - 2000 keV; small and large sampling) Alpha, beta and gamma spectrometry (28 and 50% efficiency) Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and Clean room facilities. Radioanalytical and Chemical Analysis

  4. Selective Inorganic Sorbents Nanotechnology Controlled Release of Drugs. Microporous inorganic adsorbents that have unique metal ion binding affinity. Investigating their application for radioisotope separation. Image: Victor Luca ≈ 20 m Novel technology for production nanoparticles. Encapsulation and release of molecules under controlled conditions ≈ 0.05 m Images: Alexandra Bush

  5. Microbiology • Research/synthesis of bio-inorganic composites (live rocks). • Characterisation of biological systems. • Culturing offastidious microbes - magnetotactic bacteria • Novel bioreactors – culturing cells requiring high pO2 • E.g hepatocytes Top: magnetotactic bacterium with a chain of magnetosomes (dark inclusions). Bottom: higher magnification of the magnetosomes in the cell. Images from Tony Taylor

  6. Integrated Suite of Characterisation Capabilities and Expertise • Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) • spatial/topological info., resolution 3.5 nm • chemical info., spatial limit ~1 micron • Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) • spatial/structural/topological info., resolution 0.1 nm • chemical/valence/bonding info., spatial limit ~10 nm • Structure and texture analysis • X-ray diffraction (XRD) • Neutron diffraction • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) • Atomic force microscopy (AFM)
