MRI: Acquisition of X-ray Scattering Systems for the Characterization of Nanostructured Materials

目前正在请求资金以建立一个广泛应用于材料表征领域的x射线衍射设施。该设施将由两套设备组成：一套进行粉末广角x射线衍射，另一套进行小角x射线衍射。该设备将用于表征纳米结构材料：前者将用于表征晶体结构，即亚纳米尺度上单个原子的排列，而后者将用于表征更大的结构，即纳米或数十纳米尺度上原子团或分子的排列。这些仪器将是真正的多用户设备，我们提供了11个不同的项目的简要描述，涉及来自5个不同部门的10名不同的教员。此外，我们还列出了更多项目的标题，其中一些项目涉及俄克拉荷马州其他大学的教师。这些仪器将成为Nanonet的重要组成部分，Nanonet是一个由美国国家科学基金会EPSCoR资助的中心，位于俄克拉荷马州，包括对纳米技术感兴趣的科学家。正在请求资金建造一个x射线设施，广泛应用于材料表征领域。该设施将由两套设备组成：一套用于研究晶体，另一套用于对非结构化材料进行测量。该设备将用于表征非常精细的材料结构：前者将用于表征晶体结构，即单个原子的排列，而后者将用于表征更大的结构，即原子团或分子的排列。这些仪器将成为真正的多用户设备。这些仪器将成为Nanonet的重要组成部分，Nanonet是一个由美国国家科学基金会EPSCoR资助的中心，位于俄克拉荷马州，包括对纳米技术感兴趣的科学家。

Funds are being requested to build a x-ray diffraction facility with broad applications to the field of materials characterization. This facility will consist of two pieces of equipment: one to perform powder wide-angle x-ray diffraction and the other to perform small-angle x-ray diffraction. The equipment will be used to characterize of nanostructured materials: the former will be used to characterize crystal structures, i.e. the arrangement of individual atoms on a sub-nanometer scale, while the latter will be used to characterize larger structures, i.e. the arrangement of groups of atoms or molecules on a nanometer or tens of nanometer scale. These instruments will truly be multi-user pieces of equipment, we have provided brief descriptions of 11 different projects involving 10 different faculty members from 5 different departments. In addition, we have listed titles of more projects, some of which involve faculty from other universities in the State of Oklahoma. These instruments will become an important part of Nanonet, an NSF EPSCoR funded center in the State of Oklahoma that encompasses scientists interested in nanotechnology.Funds are being requested to build a x-ray facility with broad applications to the field of materials characterization.
