Far Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy of Borates by Coe College Physics Students

远红外线傅立叶变换（FTIR）光谱仪正在用于科学院的学生研究。这种能力补充了学院通过购买中档FTIR光谱仪而获得的能力。学生研究是该仪器的主要捐助者，通过学院对碱硼酸盐和硼硅酸盐玻璃及相关晶体的性能和结构的研究进行了完善的项目。此外，几门物理课程也很好地利用了这台仪器。美国国家科学基金会的拨款正与来自非联邦来源的资金相匹配。

A Far Infrared Fourier Transform (FTIR) Spectrometer is being utilized for student research at Coe College. This capability complements that being acquired by the College through its purchase of a mid-range FTIR spectrometer. Student research is a major benefactor of this instrument through the college's well-developed project on research into properties and structure of alkali borate and borosilicate glasses and related crystals. In addition, several physics courses also make good use of this instrument.NSF grant funds are being matched with funds from non-federal sources.
