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

材料研究仪器计划和主要研究仪器计划的这一奖项将使俄亥俄州州立大学能够用具有更高灵敏度、空间分辨率和新颖样品处理功能的新系统取代现有过时的X射线光电子能谱仪（XPS）。该系统将位于材料研究中心（CMR），旨在供科学和工程部门，化学，化学工程，物理，材料科学与工程以及电气工程的各种研究人员使用。 XPS系统将支持各种联邦资助的项目，包括碳基分子电子器件（NSF），轻质合金（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。除了检查各种研究项目的研究问题外，该设施还将用于指导本科生，研究生和博士后学生应用XPS进行表面表征。 俄勒冈州立大学有着悠久的教育和推广活动的历史，涉及当地和访问学生，包括本科生的暑期研究项目和K-12学生和教师的科学教育项目。材料研究项目和主要研究仪器项目的这一奖项将使俄亥俄州州立大学能够取代现有的过时的X射线光电子能谱仪（XPS）具有更高的灵敏度、空间分辨率和新颖的样品处理特征的新系统。该系统将位于材料研究中心（CMR），旨在供科学和工程部门，化学，化学工程，物理，材料科学与工程以及电气工程的各种研究人员使用。 XPS系统将支持各种联邦资助的项目，包括碳基分子电子器件（NSF），轻质合金（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。除了检查各种研究项目的研究问题外，该设施还将用于指导本科生，研究生和博士后学生应用XPS进行表面表征。 俄勒冈州立大学有着悠久的教育和外联活动的历史，涉及当地和访问学生，包括本科生的暑期研究项目和K-12学生和教师的科学教育计划。

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.
