Development of Enhanced x-ray Diffraction Capability for the PNC-CAT Beamlines

9871206 Seidler八圆psi衍射仪将获得资金从主要研究仪器计划。 该衍射仪将被纳入正在高级光子源（APS）开发的太平洋西北联盟合作访问团队（PNC-CAT）光束线。 PNC-CAT包括华盛顿大学、西蒙弗雷泽大学及其加拿大大学和太平洋西北国家实验室。 使用这一工具进行的研究将涵盖广泛的范围，从非常基础和理论到非常实用的项目。 该衍射仪将由美国国家科学基金会的主要研究仪器计划提供资金，将用于材料科学和界面的基础实验，对美国经济至关重要的工业合作，以及最近开发的技术在环境相关问题上的应用。 此外，未来几年将为PNC-CAT光束线的非CAT用户留出25%的可用时间。***

9871206SeidlerAn eight-circle psi diffractometer will be acquired with funds from the Major Research Instrumentation program. This diffractometer will be incorporated into the Pacific Northwest Consortium-Collaborative Access Team (PNC-CAT) beamline under development at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). The PNC-CAT includes the University of Washington, Simon Fraser University with associated Canadian universities, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratories. The research to be carried out using this instrument will cover a broad range, from very fundamental and theoretical to very applied projects. %%%The diffractometer, to be acquired with funds from the National Science Foundation's Major Research Instrumentation program, will be used for fundamental experiments on materials science and interfaces, in industrial collaborations of vital interest to the economy of the United States, and in applications of recently developed techniques to environmentally relevant problems. In addition, 25% of the available time will be set aside in future years for non-CAT users of the PNC-CAT beamlines. ***
