Acquisition of a Transmission Electron Microscope

小行星9311739 这种现代化的，研究级的200毫米透射电子显微镜与扫描和分析能力的华盛顿州立大学将用于扩大，材料研究和教育计划。 材料研究已被确定为一个高度优先领域的重点在华盛顿州立大学。 两个跨学院的组织-材料研究中心和材料科学计划-最近成立，以解决材料科学的跨学科性质。 材料研究中心由19名高级参与者组成，旨在鼓励材料和应用凝聚材料科学领域的合作，跨学科研究项目。 材料科学计划是华盛顿州立大学材料科学的教育分支。材料科学计划于1990年秋季启动，因此是最近创建的博士学位。在大学里的节目。 它是全国为数不多的真正跨学科的项目之一，因为它涉及工程和科学部门的积极参与。 来自6个部门的22名教师参加了该计划。 该仪器将允许在明场和暗场模式，高空间分辨率成像，电子衍射和TEM试样的微观结构特征的微观分析的常规成像。 还要求加热台和温度控制器，这将使我们能够在电子显微镜中进行原位加热研究。 这些研究对于我们在金属合金颗粒粗化和金属致脆化领域的研究计划至关重要。 获取透射电子显微镜是必不可少的研究活动在大学内的一些部门，包括;机械和材料工程，物理，化学，地质，化学工程和电气工程。 共有15名研究生，他们的研究将直接受益于透射电子显微镜的收购。 此外，还有大约14名研究生参与了其他项目，他们的研究将大大受益于涉及TEM的微观结构研究。 此外，TEM在校园内将提供实质性的好处，作为研究生和本科生的教学工具，使他们接触到现代分析仪器，这是目前还没有提供给他们。 ***

9311739 Norton This modern, research-grade 200kv transmission electron microscope with scanning and analytical capabilities for Washington State University will be used in an expanding, materials research and education program. Materials research has been identified as a high-priority area of emphasis at Washington State University. Two cross-college organizations-The Center for Materials Research and the Materials Science Program-have been recently established to address the interdisciplinary nature of Materials Science. The Center for Materials Research which consists of 19 senior participants was formed with the purpose of encouraging collaborative, cross-disciplinary research projects in the area of materials and applied condensed mater science. The Materials Science Program is the educational arm of the materials science thrust at Washington State University. The Materials Science Program was initiated in the Fall of 1990 and consequently is the most recently created Ph.D. program in the University. It is one of the few truly interdisciplinary programs in the nation as it involves active participation from both Engineering and Science departments. Twenty-two faculty members, from 6 departments participate in the Program. This instrument will permit conventional imaging in both bright-field and dark-field modes, high spatial resolution imaging, electron diffraction, and microanalysis of microstructural features in TEM specimens. A heating stage and temperature controller are also requested, which will enable us to perform in-situ heating studies in the electron microscope. These studies are essential for our research programs in the areas of particle coarsening of metallic alloys and metal induced embrittlement. Acquisition of a transmission electron microscope is essential for research activities in a number of departments within the University, including; Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Chemical Engineer ing, and Electrical Engineering. There are a total of 15 graduate students whose research will directly benefit from the acquisition of a transmission electron microscope. In addition, there are about 14 graduate students involved in the other projects whose research would significantly benefit from microstructural studies involving TEM. In addition a TEM on campus will provide substantial benefit as an instructional instrument for both graduate and undergraduate students, exposing them to modern analytical instrumentation which is not presently available to them. ***
