FTIR Microscopy in Undergraduate Materials Engineering Laboratories

本项目的重点是在材料工程本科课程中引入傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)显微镜。FTIR光谱仪和FTIR显微镜已被证明在广泛的应用中作为分析工具的价值；然而，该技术在材料分析和表征方面的实用性几乎没有受到工程师的关注。已经开展了几个实验来强调基本原理，如金属表面的吸附和腐蚀、共价金属键合、半导体金属表面沉积的薄氧化物薄膜的表征、集成电路的表征以及聚合物和涂层的表征。

This project focuses on the introduction of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy in the undergraduate materials engineering curriculum. The FTIR Spectrometer and FTIR microscope have proven value as analytical tools in a wide range of applications; however, the utility of the technique for materials analysis and characterization has received little attention from engineers. Several experiments have been developed to highlight basic principles such as adsorption and corrosion on metal surfaces, covalent metallic bonding, characterization of thin oxide films deposited on semiconductor metal surfaces, characterization of integrated circuits, and characterization of polymers and coatings.
