Advanced Research Infrastructure for Materials and Nanotechnology (ARIM) is one of the research projects by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), which started in FY 2021 under the 10-year-long plan. ARIM is devoted to construct and maintain state-of-theart open facilities for materials processing, measurement and analysis as well as their data collection and utilization system for public share-use, thus playing a key role in "Materials DX Platform" so as to promote Japan's materials innovations. This project utilizes nationwide network of both R&D facilities and highly skilled technical professionals, which was established under the Nanotechnology Platform Project. AIST Nanocharactreization Facility (ANCF) is a member of ARIM, together with AIST Nanoprocessing Facility (NPF), for data acquisition, analysis, and collection of cutting-edge nanometer-scale materials including quantum and electronic materials.
