Development of a Basic Physics for Materials Characteriza- tion Laboratory

建立一组相关的实验室，旨在演示基本的物理原理，并展示它目前在材料表征中的应用。实验包括(1)卢瑟福背散射，(2)核反应分析和中子活化分析，(3)粒子诱导X射线发射和X射线荧光，(4)粒子沟道。这些资金将允许学生进入不同的研究生学习领域(包括核物理、原子物理、凝聚态物理)，并直接进入工业或政府实验室，在那里这些技术正迅速被用于材料表征。将强调计算机化的数据获取和分析。

To set up a group of related laboratories designed to demonstrate basic physical principles and to show it is currently used in materials characterization. The experiments are (1) Rutherford backscattering, (2) nuclear reaction analysis and neutron activation analysis, (3) particle induces x-ray emission and x-ray fluorescence, and (4) particle channeling. These funds will allow students to enter a variety of fields of graduate study (including nuclear physics, atomic physics, condensed matter physics) and to enter directly into industrial or governmental laboratories where these techniques are rapidly being adopted for materials characterization. Computerized data taking and analysis will be emphasized.
