RIMI: Materials Characterization Facilities

9353197 Cabrera提案要求提供资金，以建立一个材料特性鉴定设施，并购置表面分析仪器。 该仪器包括一台俄歇电子能谱仪和一台X射线光电子能谱仪，将有助于目前在环境化学、薄膜、催化、材料科学和电化学方面的研究。 表面分析仪器将通过确定大多数元素的组成以及杂质，具体加强对过渡金属二硫属化物和铁电膜的加工的研究。 二硫属化合物薄膜和铁电薄膜分别用于太阳能电池和光电器件。 杂质组成会显著影响材料的磁性和磁性，这些材料通常通过化学气相沉积、溶胶-凝胶技术或电沉积来制备。 材料表征设施将大大提高研究人员的解释能力，从根本上调查上述材料的处理。***

9353197 Cabrera The proposal requests funds to establish a materials characterization facility with the acquisition of surface analytical instrumentation. The instrumentation consists of an Auger electron spectrometer and an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer and will aid current research in environmental chemistry, thin films, catalysis, materials science and electrochemistry. The surface analytical instrumentation will specifically enhance the research on the processing of transition metal dichalcogenides and ferroelectric films, by determining the composition of majority elements, as well as impurities. The dichalcogenides and ferroelectric films are used for solar energy batteries and optical-electrical devices, respectively. The impurity composition can significantly affect the semiconductive and magnetic properties of the materials, which are usually prepared by chemical vapor deposition, sol-gel techniques or electrodeposition. The material characterization facility will dramatically improve the interpretative capabilities of the researchers investigating fundamentally the processing of the foregoing materials. ***
