A Scanning Probe Microscope for Examining Mineral Surfaces

该合同提供部分（50%）资金用于购买扫描探针显微镜系统，该系统将在加州大学戴维斯分校的土地、空气和水资源系安装和运行。该机构承诺提供购置设备所需的剩余资金。显微镜系统将主要用于在分子水平上检查水-矿物界面上的矿物表面，以研究自然环境中溶解-沉淀-吸附过程的机制和速率。＊＊＊

9414103 Casey This award provides partial (50%) funding for the acquisition of a scanning probe microscope system that will be installed and operated in the Department of Land, Air and Water Resources at the University of California, Davis. The institution is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for the acquisition of the equipment. The microscope system will be used primarily to examine, at the molecular level, the surface of minerals at the water-mineral interface in order to study the mechanisms and rates of dissolution-precipitation-adsorption processes in the natural environment. ***
