Acquisition of a Computer-Controlled X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer

9628232绿色这笔赠款提供93,300美元，用于购买新的X射线荧光光谱仪(XRF)，用于阿拉巴马大学位于贝维尔材料、矿物和能源研究大楼的中央分析设施(CAF)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矿床、花岗岩浆、玄武岩浆和弧源钙碱性岩浆的岩石成因研究，以及材料科学学院对薄膜的研究。一个新的XRF将补充该实验室已有的分析地球化学仪器组合(电感耦合等离子体质谱、电感耦合等离子体发射光谱、电磁脉冲、X射线衍射仪、原子吸收光谱分析等)。作为CAF的一部分，这一工具不仅将服务于部门和机构的不同用户群体，而且还将服务于一些或地区的学术、政府和行业研究人员。***

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. ***
