MRI: Acquisition of an Imaging XPS for Materials Research and Training

杜克大学和北卡罗来纳州州立大学的一组研究人员要求资助购买一台成像X射线光电子能谱仪（XPS），供教职员工共享使用。这一要求的动机是迫切需要当代表面分析工具，特别是XPS，在参与教师的研究和缺乏这样的仪器，目前在杜克大学或在三角研究区共享使用。申报的Axis Ultra（Kratos Analytical Inc.）仪器允许XPS的导体和绝缘体的能量分辨率为1 eV和空间分辨率为~10 μ m。该仪器将由杜克大学以下系的九名教师组成的研究小组使用：生物医学工程（Chilkoti，Reichert和Truskey），化学（克雷格，Grinstaff，Liu和Pirrung），材料科学与工程（Zauscher）和电气工程（Massoud）。此外，北卡罗来纳州州立大学化学工程（Genzer）和化学（Gorman）的两名教师也是该提案的核心研究人员，因为他们在研究中迫切需要高空间和能量分辨率的XPS。该仪器将位于杜克大学莱文科学研究中心的共享材料仪器设施中，并将用于需要高空间和能量分辨率XPS的各种项目。

0216197ChilkotiA group of investigators at Duke University and North Carolina State University request funding to purchase an imaging X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) for the shared use of faculty. This request is motivated by an urgent need for contemporary surface analysis tools, especially XPS, in the research of participating faculty and the lack of such instrumentation currently at Duke University or in the Research Triangle area for shared use. The proposed Axis Ultra (Kratos Analytical Inc.) instrument allows XPS of both conductors and insulators with an energy resolution of 1 eV and a spatial resolution of ~10 um. This instrument will be used by the research groups of nine faculty at Duke University in the following departments: Biomedical Engineering (Chilkoti, Reichert and Truskey), Chemistry (Craig, Grinstaff, Liu, and Pirrung), Materials Science and Engineering (Zauscher), and Electrical Engineering (Massoud). In addition, two faculty at North Carolina State University in Chemical Engineering (Genzer) and Chemistry (Gorman) are also core investigators in this proposal, because of their pressing need for high spatial- and energy-resolution XPS in their research. The instrument will be located in the Shared Materials Instrumentation Facility in the Levine Science Research Center at Duke University, and will be used in diverse projects that require high spatial and energy resolution XPS.
