Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Acquisition of a Fourier Transtorm Infrared Spectrometer

该提案要求资金用于获得傅里叶变换红外光谱仪（FTIR），以满足柯蒂斯·弗兰克教授，杰拉尔德·富勒和爱丽丝·加斯特教授在研究聚合物薄膜的性质和加工要求时的需要。所选用的仪器是尼可莱800系列红外光谱仪。它配备了一个600型数据处理单元，其中包括一个100兆字节的硬盘，可以直接访问内存。两个液氮冷却探测器提供高速数据采集和30,000-10/cm的波数范围。仪器分辨率为0.09/cm。扫描速率高达50/秒是可能的。

This proposal requests funds to be used to obtain a Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectrometer that would serve the needs of Professor Curtis Frank, Gerald Fuller and Alice Gast in research investigating the properties and processing requirements of polymer thin films. The instrument that has been selected is the Nicolet Series 800 FTIR Spectometer. It is equipped with a Model 600 Data Processing Unit that includes a 100 megabyte hard disk with direct memory access. Two liquid nitrogen cooled detectors provide high speed data acquisition and a wavenumber range of 30,000-10/cm. The resolution of the instrument is 0.09/cm. Scanning rates up to 50/sec are possible.
