With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, Tulane University will acquire a growth/preparation apparatus for nanoscale and materials science. The new setup will combine a plasma source for non-invasive surface cleaning with thin film deposition equipment (physical vapor deposition, plasma-assisted vapor deposition, pulsed laser deposition) and basic in-situ characterization facilities (RHEED and XPS). The primary users will be researchers from Tulane University and Xavier University of Louisiana. This apparatus will be used for the synthesis of a wide variety of magnetic catalytic, biocompatible, nanoscopic and structural materials, and will play a key role in integrating Tulane's and Xavier's materials synthesis and advanced surface characterization programs. It will also enhance instruction through research training of undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students; through implementation in several courses; and as a hands-on component in outreach programs.

在主要研究仪器(MRI)计划的支持下，杜兰大学将获得纳米级和材料科学的生长/制备设备。新的装置将把用于非侵入性表面清洁的等离子体源与薄膜沉积设备(物理气相沉积、等离子体辅助气相沉积、脉冲激光沉积)和基本的原位表征设备(RHEED和XPS)相结合。主要用户将是来自杜兰大学和路易斯安那州泽维尔大学的研究人员。该装置将用于合成各种磁性催化、生物相容、纳米和结构材料，并将在整合杜兰和泽维尔的材料合成和先进的表面表征程序方面发挥关键作用。它还将通过对本科生、研究生和研究生的研究性培训、通过在几个课程中的实施以及作为外联方案的实践部分来加强教学。
