This is an instrument acquisition proposal from the Instrumentation for Materials Research Program to the University of Oklahoma Norman Campus. The University of Oklahoma Norman Campus will acquire a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer for research and education on spintronics and semiconductor nanostructure. Spintronics and nanoscience are two prevailing themes in materials research today. Far infrared spectroscopy is potentially useful in both areas, since relevant energy levels for materials design are typically in the far infrared. The main experimental challenges in both areas are due to low signal strength. The new instrument will allow researchers to overcome these challenges with a vacuum-pumped, Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer. Vacuum pumping will remove the far infrared water vapor absorption lines that obscure data obtained by flushed spectrometers. It will open a spectral window that has broad utility in the fields of spintronics and semiconductor nanostructures. Students will use the spectrometer for summer projects, undergraduate senior projects, and graduate theses. The proposed project will provide an excellent opportunity for student training on an instrument that is used widely in many scientific fields.This is an instrument acquisition proposal from the Instrumentation for Materials Research Program to the University of Oklahoma Norman Campus.

这是材料仪器研究项目向俄克拉荷马大学诺曼校区提交的一份仪器采购建议书。俄克拉荷马大学诺曼校区将获得一台傅里叶变换红外光谱仪，用于自旋电子学和半导体纳米结构的研究和教学。自旋电子学和纳米科学是当今材料研究中的两个热门主题。远红外光谱学在这两个领域都有潜在的用处，因为材料设计的相关能级通常在远红外。这两个领域的主要实验挑战都是由于信号强度较低。这台新仪器将允许研究人员使用真空泵浦的傅里叶变换红外光谱仪来克服这些挑战。真空抽气将消除远红外水蒸气吸收线，这些吸收线模糊了冲洗光谱仪获得的数据。它将打开一个在自旋电子学和半导体纳米结构领域具有广泛用途的光谱窗口。学生将在暑期项目、本科高级项目和研究生论文中使用光谱仪。拟议的项目将为学生提供一个在许多科学领域广泛使用的仪器的极好的培训机会。这是从材料仪器研究计划到俄克拉荷马大学诺曼校区的仪器采购建议。俄克拉荷马大学诺曼校区将获得一台傅里叶变换红外光谱仪，用于自旋电子学和半导体纳米结构的研究和教学。自旋电子学和纳米科学是当今材料研究中的两个热门主题。远红外光谱学在这两个领域都有潜在的用处。该仪器将使研究人员能够克服这些重大的实验挑战。它将打开一个在自旋电子学和半导体纳米结构领域具有广泛用途的光谱窗口。学生将在暑期项目、本科高级项目和研究生论文中使用光谱仪。拟议的项目将为学生培训在许多科学领域广泛使用的仪器提供一个极好的机会。
