Title		
Which neutron instrument is requested?	☐ MARIA	☐ N-REX	
Type of access	☐ Remote access: the sample is prepared for you.	☐ Collaborative access: you fabricate the sample together with the local contact on site at the JCNS in Garching	
Sample composition	¥	What kind of substrate do you want to use? Please note, that during the commissioning phase only SrTiO3 is accepted. Please comment on the properties, e.g. size, crystal orientation. Are you supplying it?
¥	What are the components of your sample (evaporation materials, atomic oxygen)
¥	Do you aim at epitaxial growth?
¥	State the number of samples.
	
Sample preparation	Do you have already experience in preparation of such samples? Does a “recipe” exist? Explain the fabrication process and the required parameters, like growth temperature, evaporation rate, heating and/or cooling rates and so on.	
Safety issues	Give a brief statement of any potential safety issue known with the required materials, processes or procedures contained in the proposal.	
Time schedule	What would be the desired dates and duration for sample fabrication? Please estimate the number of days required to fabricate the proposed sample(s). In case of collaborative access please report your blackout days.	
What is the future of the sample?	¥	Which other experiments do you plan on top of the neutron experiments (before and afterwards)? 
¥	How must the sample be stored (UHV, vacuum desiccator, air)?
