Powder Diffractometer System

9508180 Peacor这笔赠款提供125,000美元，作为购置粉末衍射仪系统和辅助设备的部分支持，包括高、低温附件、单色仪、位置敏感探测器以及控制硬件和软件。该系统将安装在地质科学系的X射线矿物学实验室。该大学将提供该系统总成本的44%。该设备将取代陈旧和目前不足的粉末X射线衍射仪。到目前为止，本仪器是密歇根大学整个中心校区唯一的粉末衍射仪。除了用于首席研究员在粘土矿物学方面备受推崇的研究外，新设施还将向其他系的合格学生和教职员工开放，包括地质科学系、化学系、物理系和药学与牙学院的成员。***

9508180 Peacor This grant provides $125,000 as partial support for the acquisition of a powder diffractometer system and ancillary equipment including high and low-temperature attachments, a monochromator, a position-sensitive detector, and controlling hardware and software. This system will be housed in the X-ray Mineralogy Laboratory of the Department of Geological Sciences. The university will provide 44% of the total cost of this system. This equipment will replace an antiquated and presently inadequate powder X-ray diffraction unit. The present instrument has heretofore served as the only powder diffractometer servicing the entire Central Campus of the University of Michigan. In addition to its use in the principal investigator's highly regarded research in clay mineralogy, the new facility will be available to qualified students and faculty of other departments including members of the Departments of Geological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics and the College of Pharmacy and Dentistry. ***
