MRI: Acquistion of an X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy System for Surface Chemical Analysis

主要研究仪器项目授予纽约市立大学斯塔滕岛分校的这一奖项是为了表彰其购买了X射线光电子能谱(XPS)系统，以进行基础表面化学分析，以支持创新的表面和界面研究工作。支持的研究课题包括：纳米摩擦学；表面化学传感器的开发；表面结合的光子器件；界面分子相互作用的研究；II-VI宽带隙材料的生长和基本表面功能化。XPS是一种高度敏感的表面分析工具，可以对各种材料的表面化学成分和局部化学环境(如氧化态和某种程度上的分子连接性)的细节进行评估。这项技术的灵敏度提供了关于表面化学浓度的信息，通常是关于吸附在表面的材料的单层分数的信息。这一工具还将支持斯塔滕岛学院和纽约市立大学内的大量教育活动。这包括每年在化学仪器方法课程(由PI授课)中的使用，在斯塔滕岛学院的NSF支持的REU聚合物和生物聚合物项目中的本科生研究活动，我们NSF支持的纳米结构材料和器件IGERT项目的研究生教育和培训，以及作为我们新设立的纳米技术和材料化学博士项目一学期实验室轮换课程的一部分。该仪器将得到广泛的应用，并提高参与研究的教师和研究所的整体研究和教育能力。该奖项由主要研究仪器项目授予纽约-斯塔滕岛城市大学，以表彰其获得X射线光电子能谱(XPS)系统，以进行基本的表面化学分析，以支持创新的表面和界面研究工作。支持的研究课题包括：纳米摩擦学；表面化学传感器的开发；表面结合的光子器件；界面分子相互作用的研究；II-VI宽带隙材料的生长和基本表面功能化。XPS是一种高度敏感的表面分析工具，可以对各种材料的表面化学成分和局部化学环境(如氧化态和某种程度上的分子连接性)的细节进行评估。这项技术的灵敏度提供了关于表面化学浓度的信息，通常是关于吸附在表面的材料的单层分数的信息。这一工具还将支持斯塔滕岛学院和纽约市立大学内的大量教育活动。这包括每年在化学仪器方法课程(由PI授课)中的使用，在斯塔滕岛学院NSF资助的REU聚合物和生物聚合物项目中的本科生研究活动，在我们NSF支持的纳米结构材料和器件IGERT项目中的研究生教育和培训，以及作为我们新设立的纳米技术和材料化学博士项目一学期实验室轮换课程的一部分。该仪器将得到广泛的应用，并提高参与研究的教师和研究所的整体研究和教育能力。该奖项由主要研究仪器计划授予纽约斯塔滕岛城市大学，以表彰其获得X射线光电子能谱(XPS)系统，以进行基本的表面化学分析，以支持创新的表面和界面研究工作。该仪器将具有广泛的用途，并提高参与研究的教师和机构的整体研究和教育能力。支持的研究课题包括：纳米摩擦学；表面化学传感器的开发；表面结合的光子器件；界面分子相互作用的研究；II-VI宽带隙材料的生长和基本表面功能化。XPS是一种高度敏感的表面分析工具，可以对各种材料的表面化学成分和局部化学环境(如氧化态和某种程度上的分子连接性)的细节进行评估。这一工具还将支持斯塔滕岛学院和纽约市立大学内的大量教育活动。这包括每年在化学仪器方法课程(由PI授课)中的使用，在斯塔滕岛学院的S国家科学基金会资助的REU聚合物和生物聚合物项目中的本科生研究活动，在我们的国家科学基金会支持的纳米结构材料和器件的IGERT项目中的研究生教育和培训，以及作为我们新设立的纳米技术和材料化学博士项目一学期实验室轮换课程的一部分。

This award from the Major Research Instrumentation Program to City University of New York-Staten Island is for the acquisition of an X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) system to carry out basic surface chemical analysis in support of innovative surface and interfacial research efforts. The research topics supported include: nanotribology; development of surface chemical sensors; surface bound photonic devices; studies of molecular interactions at interfaces, growth of II-VI wide bandgap materials and basic surface functionaliztion. XPS is a highly sensitive surface analytical tool that allows for the details of surface chemical composition and local chemical environment (such as oxidation state and to some extent molecular connectivity) to be evaluated for a variety of materials. The sensitivity of this technique provides information on chemical concentrations at the surface for routinely of fraction of monolayers of a material adsorbed on a surface. This instrumentation will also support a large number of educational activities both at The College of Staten Island and within CUNY. This includes annual use in an Instrumental Methods in Chemistry Course (taught by the PI), undergraduate research activities in The College of Staten Island's NSF supported REU program on Polymers and Biopolymers, graduate education and training in our NSF supported IGERT program on Nanostructural Materials and Devices, and as part of a 1 semester laboratory rotation course in our newly formed Ph.D. program in Nanotechnology and Materials Chemistry. The instrumentation will have wide usage and improve the overall research and educational capabilities of the participating faculty as well as the institution.This award from the Major Research Instrumentation Program to City University of New York-Staten Island is for the acquisition of an X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) system to carry out basic surface chemical analysis in support of innovative surface and interfacial research efforts.
