With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation Program, Angelo State University will be able to acquire research instruments required to establish an advanced, modern facility capable of supporting professional research activity for faculty collaborators and essential research training for undergraduate students. The facility will enable the study of material properties under the variations of temperature, optical excitation, and magnetic and electric fields. Students, along with faculty mentors, will perform advanced electrical and optical measurements, such as photoluminescence spectroscopy, photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy, optical absorption, Raman scattering spectroscopy, photoconductivity, and Hall-effect measurements in the examination of standard and novel semiconductor materials and heterostructures and novel superconductor materials. The new instrumentation will establish a new realm of possibilities for advanced research, offering undergraduate students appropriately challenging, exciting and educational research training while conducting relevant and interesting scientific investigations.With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation Program, Angelo State University will acquire research instruments required to establish an advanced, modern facility capable of supporting professional research activity for faculty collaborators and essential research training for undergraduate students. The facility, aimed at the study of material properties, will support opportunities for faculty-sponsored undergraduate research projects, fulfilling an integral part of the university mission of integrating meaningful advanced research into the educational experience of physics, applied physics, and pre-engineering majors. The new instrumentation will establish a new realm of possibilities for advanced research, offering undergraduate students appropriately challenging, exciting and educational research training while conducting relevant and interesting scientific investigations.

从主要研究仪器计划的这个奖项，安杰洛州立大学将能够获得所需的研究仪器，建立一个先进的，现代化的设施，能够支持专业的研究活动的教师合作者和本科生的基本研究培训。该设施将能够研究温度、光激发以及磁场和电场变化下的材料特性。学生，沿着教师导师，将进行先进的电气和光学测量，如光致发光光谱，光致发光激发光谱，光吸收，拉曼散射光谱，光电导和霍尔效应测量标准和新型半导体材料和异质结构和新型超导体材料的检查。新仪器将为先进的研究建立一个新的可能性领域，为本科生提供适当的挑战性，令人兴奋和教育研究培训，同时进行相关和有趣的科学调查。有了这个主要研究仪器计划的奖项，安吉洛州立大学将获得建立先进的，现代化的设施，能够支持教师合作者的专业研究活动和本科生的基本研究培训。该设施，旨在研究材料性能，将支持教师赞助的本科研究项目的机会，履行大学的一个组成部分，将有意义的先进研究整合到物理学，应用物理学和工程预科专业的教育经验的使命。新仪器将为高级研究建立一个新的可能性领域，为本科生提供适当的挑战性，令人兴奋和教育研究培训，同时进行相关和有趣的科学调查。
