0521405RoweThis Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program grant supports acquisition on an x-ray diffractometer (XRD) equipped with scintillation and solid state x-ray detection systems, a parallel beam attachment (to permit crystallographic analysis of thin films), and a high temperature vacuum chamber for studies of the kinetics of phase changes over temperature ranges from 25 to 1600 degrees C. The XRD will immediately benefit the research and educational programs of five faculty members across the departments of Geoscience, Forestry, Pharmacy, Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Kentucky (UK). Faculty and students at UK and nearby regional institutions including Eastern Kentucky University, Western Kentucky University and Morehead State, will will gain access to the XRD for mineral phase identification in sediments, soils and aerosols, structural studies of nanoporous ceramics and thin films, and analysis of crystallization mechanisms of novel pharmaceuticals, to name a few. The XRD will be incorporated in multiple undergraduate and graduate courses requiring lab exercises and undergraduate students will be encouraged to take advantage of the XRD for independent research. ***

05214005本主要研究仪器（MRI）计划资助购置x射线衍射仪（XRD）配备闪烁和固态x射线检测系统，平行光束附件（允许薄膜的晶体学分析），以及用于研究25至1600摄氏度温度范围内相变动力学的高温真空室。XRD将立即为肯塔基大学（英国）地球科学、林业、制药、化学和材料工程等系的五名教职员工的研究和教育计划带来好处。包括东肯塔基大学、西肯塔基大学和莫尔黑德州立大学在内的英国和附近地区机构的教职员工和学生将获得XRD，用于沉积物、土壤和气溶胶中的矿物相鉴定，纳米多孔陶瓷和薄膜的结构研究，以及新型药物的结晶机制分析，等等。XRD将被纳入需要实验练习的多个本科和研究生课程中，并鼓励本科生利用XRD进行独立研究。* * *
