Acquisition of an Infrared Microscope for Spectroscopic Characterization of Novel Materials

9802788马斯菲尔德该奖项为购置红外显微镜、用于显微镜的专用研究级光谱仪以及相关附件提供支持，用于在仪器的频率范围内对重要材料进行温度相关测量。这一装置将致力于新材料的光谱研究，特别是C60基光聚合物薄膜和小型单晶有机和无机固体，其表征得到了其他NSF资助计划的支持。除了促进我们小组的红外工作外，拟议的设备还将有助于材料光谱分析领域的本科生、研究生和博士后的培训。显微镜将被安装在由NSF-STI奖翻新的设施中，该设施将容纳所有材料化学家和物理学家。%*

9802788MusfeldtThis award provides support for the acquisition of an infrared microscope, a dedicated research-grade spectrometer for the microscope, and the associated accessories for temperature dependent measurements of important materials over the frequency range of the instrument. This setup will be devoted to the spectroscopic study of novel materials, particularly C60-based photopolymer films and small single crystal organic and inorganic solids, the characterization of which is supported under other NSF funded programs. In addition to facilitating the infrared work in our group, the proposed equipment will aid in the training of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students in the area of materials spectrocopy. The microscope will be installed in a facility under renovation by an NSF-STI award, which will house all the materials chemists and physicists.%%%***
