This award from the Instrumentation for Materials Research program will provide support to the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill for the acquisition of a micro-thermal analysis (mTA) system which is an atomic force microscope with the capabilities of thermal and thermal mechanical analysis. The local heating and local measurements of thermal properties are two critical features for the research of bulk metallic glass (BMG)-based films produced by combinatorial synthesis. In addition, local processing and manipulation of nanostructures can also be accomplished. Spatial patterning of magnetic properties could arise from locally induced nanocrystallization of magnetic BMG and patterning of carbon nanotubes can be accomplished by nano-welding on BMG substrate. In addition to graduate and undergraduate research, the mTA system will be used for outreach activities with local school systems providing a unique platform for hands-on experiences in nanoscale thermal properties.This award from the Instrumentation for Materials Research program will provide support to the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill for the acquisition of a micro-thermal analysis (mTA) system which is an atomic force microscope with the capabilities of thermal and thermal mechanical analysis.

材料研究仪器计划的这一奖项将为北卡罗来纳州查佩尔山大学提供支持，用于收购微热分析（mTA）系统，该系统是一种具有热和热机械分析能力的原子力显微镜。 局部加热和热性能的局部测量是块体金属玻璃（BMG）基薄膜研究的两个关键特征。 此外，还可以实现纳米结构的局部处理和操纵。 磁性能的空间图案化可以通过磁性BMG的局部诱导纳米化来实现，并且碳纳米管的图案化可以通过在BMG基底上的纳米焊接来实现。 除了研究生和本科生的研究，mTA系统将被用于与当地学校系统的推广活动，为纳米级热性能的实践经验提供一个独特的平台。这项来自材料研究仪器计划的奖励将为北卡罗来纳州查佩尔山大学获得一个微型热分析（mTA）提供支持该系统是一种具有热和热机械分析能力的原子力显微镜。 局部加热和热性能的局部测量是块体金属玻璃（BMG）基薄膜研究的两个关键特征。 此外，还可以实现纳米结构的局部处理和操纵。 磁性能的空间图案化可以通过磁性BMG的局部诱导纳米化来实现，并且碳纳米管的图案化可以通过在BMG基底上的纳米焊接来实现。 除了研究生和本科生的研究，mTA系统将用于与当地学校系统的外联活动，为纳米级热性能的实践经验提供一个独特的平台。
