Structural Studies of Small Particles and Surfaces

这项研究计划的目的是研究小 粒子和表面使用高分辨率的组合 电子显微镜（HREM）和理论建模。 的 拟议的研究工作集中在两个领域：（一）小型 粒子研究和（ii）气体表面效应。 小 粒子研究量化了结构波动， 描述了封装和下沉现象， 在衬底上的粒子。 气体表面效应关注变化 在薄膜和小颗粒的结构中， 低压气体。

The objective of this research program is to study small particles and surfaces using a combination of high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) and theoretical modeling. The proposed research effort focuses on two areas: (i) small particle research and (ii) gas-surface effects. The small particle research quantifies structural fluctuations and characterizes the phenomena of encapsulation and sinking of particles on a substrate. Gas surface effects focus on changes in the structure of thin films and small particles when exposed to low pressure gas.
