Acquisition of a Computer-Controlled X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer

9628232绿色 这笔赠款提供93，300美元作为购买新的X射线荧光光谱仪（XRF）的一半支持，用于在Bevill材料，矿物和能源研究大楼的亚拉巴马大学中央分析设施（CAF）中对地质材料的主要元素化学进行快速，高精度分析。 利用XRF进行的具体研究项目将包括对矿床、花岗岩岩浆、玄武岩浆和弧源钙碱性岩浆的岩石成因的研究，以及材料科学系对薄膜的研究。 新的XRF将补充该实验室现有的分析地球化学仪器组合（ICP-MS; ICP-AES，EMP，XRD，AAS等）。 这一工具作为社区援助框架的一部分，不仅将服务于各部门和机构的各类用户，而且还将服务于一些或区域的学术、政府和工业研究人员。 ***

9628232 Green This grant provides $93,300 as one-half support of the costs of acquiring a new X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF) to be used for rapid, high precision analysis of the major element chemistry of geological materials in the University of Alabama's Central Analytical Facility (CAF) in the Bevill Material, Mineral, and Energy Research Building.. Specific research projects to be conducted utilizing the XRF will include studies on the petrogenesis of ore deposits, granitic magmas, basaltic magmas and arc-derived calc- alkaline magmas as well as studies of thin films by faculty in the materials sciences. A new XRF will complement the portfolio of analytical geochemical instrumentation already housed in this laboratory (ICP-MS; ICP-AES, EMP, XRD, AAS etc.) This instrument, as part of the CAF, will serve not only a diverse group of departmental and institutional users, but also a number or regional academic, government and industry researchers. ***
