The Facility has been established through a partnership between the National
Research Council Canada, the University of Ottawa, and other universities
from across the country. This facility is seen as the most cost-effective
way to give Canadian researchers access to a world-leading solid-state NMR
facility for advancing the science of materials and the innovative development
of technologically advanced products.
Funding for the establishment of the facility has been arranged through the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), provincial agencies (Ontario Innovation Trust and Recherche Québec), industry and NRC, with NRC providing a site for the facility in the newly renovated W.G. Schneider building, including office and laboratory space, test equipment and some ongoing support. The building is leased to the University of Ottawa, who manages the NMR facility.
The equipment consists of a 900 MHz Bruker Avance II NMR spectrometer with magnet, console, probes and ancillary equipment to acquire ultrahigh-field static and fast spinning NMR spectra of solid materials. The uniqueness of the Facility is that it is dedicated to solid-state NMR research in materials, where the highest magnetic fields are beneficial for quadrupolar and low-gamma nuclei such as oxygen-17, magnesium-25, chlorine-35 among others. This type of instrument is not available elsewhere in Canada.
