Accessibility, Use, Supervision, and Cost Recovery
The majority of instruments are housed in the labs of individual investigators, hence their use is supervised by the graduate students and postdocs associated with the lab. The exceptions are the MBE-growth chambers, TEM facility, and the SPiFF processing facilities which see the most extensive use and are supervised at both campuses by dedicated staff. At present, the fees are waived for all Center participants. The OU fabrication facility started occupancy of a centralized location in Summer 2002. Already several non-center users routinely use these facilities. Currently outside users only pay for expendables that they use. In the near future, a monthly access fee will be assessed each participating laboratory group.
