Acquisition of a 400-MHz Multinuclear Solid-State NMR Spectrometer with Wide-Bore 9.4-Tesla Magnet

佐治亚理工学院将获得一台多核固态核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪。该仪器将支持并显著加强五位主要研究人员在聚合物、纤维、陶瓷和无机材料领域的研究工作。其中四名研究人员（Abhiraman, Beckham， Rees和Tolbert）代表佐治亚理工学院四个独立的学术单位（化学工程，纺织与纤维工程，材料科学与工程，化学与生物化学），而第五名研究人员（Mariam）来自克拉克-亚特兰大大学，该大学在专业和地理上都与佐治亚理工学院紧密合作。连接这五位研究人员的共同线索是大分子固体的生产：这些材料要么得到改进，要么从头开始制备。先进实验核磁共振应用于材料改进和发展的相关问题是这些跨学科小组的主要主题。购买这台400兆赫固体核磁共振光谱仪和9.4-Telsa宽孔磁铁，将对佐治亚理工学院和克拉克-亚特兰大大学的材料研究和教育项目产生重大影响。＊＊＊

9503936 Beckham The Georgia Institute of Technology will acquire a multinuclear solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The instrument will support and significantly enhance the research efforts of five promary investigators in the fields of polymers, fibers, ceramics, and inorganic materials. Four of the investigators (Abhiraman, Beckham, Rees, and Tolbert) represent four separate academic units within Georgia Tech (Chemical Engineering, Textile & Fiber Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, Chemistry & Biochemistry), while the fifth (Mariam) is from Clark-Atlanta University, an institution closely allied with Georgia Tech both professionally and geographically. The common thread connecting all five investigators is the production of macromolecular solids: Such materials are being either improved or prepared de novo. Advanced experimental NMR applied to relevant problems of materials improvement and development represents the major theme of these interdisciplinary groups. The purchase of this 400-Mhz solid-state NMR spectrometer with 9.4-Telsa wide-bore magnet, will have significant impact on materials research and education programs at Georgia Tech and Clark-Atlanta University. ***
