Acquisition and Development of a Synchrotron Compatible Growth and Characterization Facility

蒙大拿州立大学的主要研究仪器计划授予该奖项，用于可移动磁性薄膜生长设备的仪器开发，该设备旨在连接到X射线同步加速器光束线，用于生长磁性多层膜的先进原位表征。该生长设施将具有化学气相沉积能力，将生长上级性能的磁性半导体和半金属铁磁体（HMF），并具有生长单元素磁性薄膜的热沉积能力。它也将通过与PI的研究合作提供给其他研究人员使用。该项目将为理解，量化和控制界面行为提供强有力的手段，以创建和研究可能对自旋电子学爆炸性增长产生巨大影响的现有和新现象。该仪器开发项目将帮助培养仪器科学和前沿研究领域的研究生和博士后。蒙大拿州立大学的主要研究仪器项目授予该项目的是可移动磁性薄膜生长设备的仪器开发，该设备旨在连接到X射线同步加速器光束线，用于生长磁性多层膜的先进原位表征。该生长设施将具有化学气相沉积能力，将生长上级性能的磁性半导体和半金属铁磁体（HMF），并具有生长单元素磁性薄膜的热沉积能力。它也将通过与PI的研究合作提供给其他研究人员使用。该项目将为理解，量化和控制界面行为提供强有力的手段，以创建和研究可能对自旋电子学爆炸性增长产生巨大影响的现有和新现象。该仪器开发项目将有助于培养仪器科学和前沿研究的研究生和博士后。

This award from the Major Research Instrumentation program to Montana State University is for instrument development of a movable magnetic films-growth facility designed to be connected to an X-ray synchrotron beamline for advanced in-situ characterization of as grown magnetic multilayers. The growth facility will have both chemical vapor deposition capability that will grow superior performance magnetic semiconductors and half-metallic ferromagnets (HMF) and a thermal deposition capability for growth of single-element magnetic films. It will also be available for use by other researchers through research collaboration with the PI. This project will provide a powerful means for understanding, quantify and control interfacial behavior for the creation and study of established and new phenomena that potentially have tremendous impact on the explosive growth of spintronics. This instrument development project will help train graduate students and postdocs in instrument science and forefront research.This award from the Major Research Instrumentation program to Montana State University is for instrument development of a movable magnetic films-growth facility designed to be connected to an X-ray synchrotron beamline for advanced in-situ characterization of as grown magnetic multilayers.
