Integration of FTIR into the Undergraduate Curriculum for the Study of Molecules on Surfaces and Other Chemical Reactions

化学系正在购买一台傅里叶变换红外光谱仪和一台质谱仪，并为表面科学研究建造一个不锈钢真空系统。这些仪器也被用于有机化学实验室，分析化学专业的学生正在使用它们研究聚合物和汽车尾气污染物以及多相催化反应。本科生研究项目的参与者也在他们的调查中使用这些设备。

The Department of Chemistry is purchasing a Fourier Transform infrared spectrophotometer, a mass spectrometer and constructing a stainless steel vacuum system for the study of surface science. The instruments are also being used in the organic chemistry laboratories and analytical chemistry students are using them in investigations of polymers and automobile exhaust pollutants and heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Participants in the undergraduate research program are also using the equipment in their investigations.
