High-Pressure Micro-Raman Facility at Arizona State University

申请经费用于在亚利桑那州立大学化学系安装一个二极管阵列探测的微型拉曼光谱仪。拉曼光谱仪系统将被设计用于在金刚石砧细胞装置中对超高压下的样品进行光谱分析。对该仪器的研究将集中于被认为可能是地球深部地幔相的候选物质的特征，以及压力对其稳定性、结构和物理性质的影响。亚利桑那州立大学将为设备提供60%的资金，NSF将提供剩余的40%。

Funds are requested for a micro-Raman spectrometer with diode array detection to be installed in the Department of Chemistry at Arizona State University. The Raman-spectrometer system will be designed to allow spectroscopy of samples subjected to ultra-high pressures in a diamond-anvil cell apparatus. Research on the instrument will focus on the characterization of materials considered likely candidates as phases in the Earth's deep mantle and the effect of pressure on their stability, structure and physical properties. The Arizona State University will provide 60% of the funds for the equipment, and NSF will provide the remaining 40%.
