AbstractProposal Title: Acquisition of High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscope for Research and Teaching in Nanostructured Materials EngineeringProposal Number: OIA - 0521011Principal Investigator: Pritpal SinghInstitution: Villanova University Analysis (rationale for decision):The College of Engineering at Villanova University is developing a Materials teaching and research thrust area in which all four engineering departments will be collaborating. The high resolution scanning electron microscope being purchased through this NSF award will be used to supplement additional equipment being purchased by Villanova University (including an atomic force microscope and high resolution transmission electron microscope) to support teaching and research in nanostructured materials. Sample projects to be conducted using this instrumentation include nanostructured solar cell development, nanostructured ceramic materials for cutting tool applications, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), nanomagnets and novel nanostructured material interfaces.In addition to the research activities, a strong educational component will be built around the materials research instrumentation. Graduate and undergraduate students will participate in modern research and outreach activities with local community colleges, high schools and industry will be conducted. This instrumentation will be integrated into undergraduate and graduate courses.

建议标题：获取用于纳米结构材料工程研究和教学的高分辨率扫描电子显微镜建议编号：OIA-0521011主要研究员：Pritpal Singh机构：维拉诺瓦大学分析(决策的基本原理)：维拉诺瓦大学工程学院正在开发材料教学和研究的主要领域，所有四个工程系将在该领域进行合作。通过NSF奖励购买的高分辨率扫描电子显微镜将用于补充维拉诺瓦大学正在购买的额外设备(包括原子力显微镜和高分辨率电子显微镜)，以支持纳米结构材料的教学和研究。使用这种仪器进行的项目包括纳米结构太阳能电池开发、用于刀具应用的纳米结构陶瓷材料、微电子机械系统(MEMS)、纳米磁体和新型纳米结构材料界面。除了研究活动外，还将围绕材料研究仪器建立强大的教育部分。研究生和本科生将参加现代研究，并将与当地社区大学、高中和行业开展外联活动。这一工具将被整合到本科和研究生课程中。
