Acquistion of Multiuser X-Ray Photoelectron Spectrometer for Materials Research and Education

这份来自材料研究仪器项目和主要研究仪器项目的合同将允许俄亥俄州立大学用一种具有更高灵敏度、空间分辨率和新型样品处理功能的新系统取代现有过时的x射线光电子光谱仪（XPS）。该系统将位于材料研究中心（CMR），设计用于科学和工程部门的各种研究人员，化学，化学工程，物理，材料科学与工程以及电气工程。XPS系统将支持多种联邦政府资助的项目，包括碳基分子电子器件（NSF）、轻质合金腐蚀（AFOSR， SERDP）、导电聚合物和发光二极管（DARPA）、沸石基化学传感器（NSF， DOE）和废气氧化催化剂（DOE）的研究。除了研究各种研究项目中的研究问题外，该设施还将用于指导本科生，研究生和博士后学生使用XPS进行表面表征。俄勒冈州立大学在教育和拓展活动方面有着悠久的历史，包括面向本科生的夏季研究项目和面向K-12学生和教师的科学教育项目。这份来自材料研究仪器项目和主要研究仪器项目的合同将允许俄亥俄州立大学用一种具有更高灵敏度、空间分辨率和新型样品处理功能的新系统取代现有过时的x射线光电子光谱仪（XPS）。该系统将位于材料研究中心（CMR），设计用于科学和工程部门的各种研究人员，化学，化学工程，物理，材料科学与工程以及电气工程。XPS系统将支持多种联邦政府资助的项目，包括碳基分子电子器件（NSF）、轻质合金腐蚀（AFOSR， SERDP）、导电聚合物和发光二极管（DARPA）、沸石基化学传感器（NSF， DOE）和废气氧化催化剂（DOE）的研究。除了研究各种研究项目中的研究问题外，该设施还将用于指导本科生，研究生和博士后学生使用XPS进行表面表征。俄勒冈州立大学在教育和拓展活动方面有着悠久的历史，包括面向本科生的夏季研究项目和面向K-12学生和教师的科学教育项目。

This award from the Instrumentation for Materials Research program and the Major Research Instrumentation program will allow Ohio State University to replace the existing obsolete X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) with an new system having higher sensitivity, spatial resolution and novel sample handling features. The system will be located at the Center for Materials Research (CMR) and is designed for use by a variety of investigators in science and engineering departments, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science and Engineering, and Electrical Engineering. The XPS systems will support a variety of federally funded projects, including investigations of carbon based molecular electronic devices (NSF), corrosion of light weight alloys (AFOSR, SERDP), conducting polymers and light emitting diodes (DARPA), zeolite based chemical sensors (NSF, DOE), and oxidation catalysts for exhaust gases (DOE). In addition to examining research problems from various research projects, the facility will be used to instruct undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students on the applications of XPS for surface characterization. OSU has a long history of education and outreach activities involving local and visiting students, including summer research projects for undergraduates and science education programs for K-12 students and teachers.This award from the Instrumentation for Materials Research program and the Major Research Instrumentation program will allow Ohio State University to replace the existing obsolete X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) with an new system having higher sensitivity, spatial resolution and novel sample handling features.
