9977482NuzzoA state-of-the-art X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) that will be capable of collecting high energy resolution spectra as well as 2-dimensional photoelectron images will be acquired with Major Research Instrumentation program funds. The instrument will be equipped with a ultra-high vacuum sample preparation chamber, allowing in-situ experiments of film growth and surface treatments. This instrument will be located at the Center for Microanalysis of Materials (CMM)) at the University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign. Availability of the XPS system is critical to several research programs that are currently active at the university. These include: 1) self-assembling materials and surface chemical reactions; 2) synthesis and characterization of catalytic materials; 3) localized corrosion; and 4) electronic materials. The XPS instrument will also meet the needs of users in the expanding research areas of biomaterials who will have a particular need for the in-situ sample cooling capabilities of the instrument. In addition to the above programs, the instrument will see widespread use in many other graduate research and education programs. The operating mode of the CMM has had a major impact on graduate research and educational programs at this and other institutions. Over the past five years, more than 80 graduate students, post-docs and visiting research scientists have been educated in the theory and operation of X-ray photoelectron spectrometers and nearly 300 researchers have used CMM XPS systems. When integrated into the CMM, the instrument will see extensive use by a projected 50-60 users annually. An X-ray photoelectron spectrometer will be acquired with Major Research Instrumentation program funds. This instrument will be used in the projects of researchers from a variety of departments at the university. The instrument will have a significant impact on research training due to its availability to students, from undergraduates to post-docs, for hands-on training.

9977482NuzzoA最先进的X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)将能够收集高能量分辨率光谱以及二维光电子图像，将用重大研究仪器计划资金获得。该仪器将配备一个超高真空样品制备室，允许进行薄膜生长和表面处理的现场实验。该仪器将设在伊利诺伊大学香槟分校的材料微量分析中心(CMM)。XPS系统的可用性对该大学目前正在进行的几个研究项目至关重要。包括：1)自组装材料和表面化学反应；2)催化材料的合成和表征；3)局部腐蚀；4)电子材料。XPS仪器还将满足不断扩大的生物材料研究领域的用户的需求，他们将对该仪器的现场样品冷却能力有特别的需求。除了上述项目外，该仪器还将在许多其他研究生研究和教育项目中广泛使用。CMM的运作模式对该机构和其他机构的研究生研究和教育项目产生了重大影响。在过去的五年里，80多名研究生、博士后和来访的研究科学家接受了X射线光电子能谱仪的理论和操作方面的培训，近300名研究人员使用了CMM XPS系统。当集成到坐标测量机中时，预计每年将有50-60名用户广泛使用该仪器。将利用重大研究仪器计划资金购买一台X射线光电子能谱仪。该仪器将用于该大学多个系的研究人员的项目中。该仪器将对研究培训产生重大影响，因为它可供从本科生到博士后的学生进行动手培训。
