0216133PedoneWith support through the Major Research Instrumentation Program, the imaging and analytical capabilities of a scanning-electron-microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray analytical system and a cathodoluminescence-imaging system will be applied to a wide range of natural and synthetic materials in the physical sciences at California State University Northridge (CSUN). Initial research use of this instrumentation will include the study of biotic and abiotic formation of lacustrine carbonate sediment and rocks; diagenesis of siliceous and siliciclastic deep-sea sediment; the identification of volcanic, carbonate, and carbonaceous phases for radiometric dating; the provenance of volcanic rocks in support of tectonic reconstruction in southern California; and the physical properties of metals, semiconductor and dielectric thin films. Acquisition of a research-quality SEM-EDS will allow faculty to expand existing research programs and to explore new avenues of collaborative research. It also will enhance recruitment of high-quality graduate and undergraduate students to the physical sciences at CSUN and provide them with first-rate research training to assure their success in future academic study and professional careers. ***

在主要研究仪器项目的支持下，配备能量色散x射线分析系统和阴极发光成像系统的扫描电子显微镜的成像和分析能力将在加州州立大学北岭分校（CSUN）的物理科学领域广泛应用于天然和合成材料。该仪器的初步研究用途将包括研究湖泊碳酸盐沉积物和岩石的生物和非生物形成；深海硅质和硅屑沉积成岩作用；火山、碳酸盐和碳质相的放射性定年鉴定；支持南加州构造重建的火山岩物源；以及金属、半导体和介电薄膜的物理性质。获得研究质量的SEM-EDS将使教师能够扩展现有的研究项目，并探索新的合作研究途径。此外，该计划亦会加强招收高质素的研究生及本科生，为他们提供一流的研究训练，以确保他们在未来的学术研究及职业生涯中取得成功。＊＊＊
