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

目前正在申请资金，以建造一个可广泛应用于材料表征领域的X射线衍射设施。该装置将由两台设备组成：一台进行粉末广角X射线衍射，另一台进行小角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，即单个原子在亚纳米尺度上的排列，而后者将用于表征更大的结构，即原子或分子基团在纳米或数十纳米尺度上的排列。这些仪器将是真正的多用户设备，我们已经提供了涉及来自5个不同系的10名不同教员的11个不同项目的简要描述。此外，我们还列出了更多项目的名称，其中一些项目涉及俄克拉荷马州其他大学的教师。这些仪器将成为纳米网络的重要组成部分，该中心由美国国家科学基金会EPSCoR资助，位于俄克拉荷马州，汇集了对纳米技术感兴趣的科学家。基金正被要求建造一个在材料表征领域具有广泛应用的X射线设备。该设施将由两台设备组成：一台用于研究晶体，另一台用于对结构较差的材料进行测量。该设备将用于表征在非常精细的尺度上构造的材料：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，即原子或分子基团的排列。这些仪器将真正成为多用户设备。这些仪器将成为Nanonet的重要组成部分，Nanonet是俄克拉荷马州由NSF EPSCoR资助的一个中心，其中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. This facility will consist of two pieces of equipment: one to study crystals and the other to perform measurements on less structured materials. The equipment will be used to characterize of materials structured on a very fine scale: the former will be used to characterize crystal structures, i.e. the arrangement of individual atoms, while the latter will be used to characterize larger structures, i.e. the arrangement of groups of atoms or molecules.
