MRI Proposal: 0722812The objective of this proposal is to advance nanotechnology research by providing state-of-the-art resources to the national user community in an open environment and technically supported by knowledgeable staff for hands-on use. This award provides for four new nanotechnology capabilities to be located at four of the NNIN facilities and available to all users across the nation: 1) for advanced materials deposition and novel device fabrication, a Carbon Nanotube Growth System (Cornell), 2) for processing of germanium semiconductors, an Automated Chemical Processor (Stanford), 3) for materials and biological systems characterization, a Mass Spectrometer (GaTech), 4) for processing of novel magnetic, optical and electronic devices, a multi-target reactive sputtering system (UCSB). Intellectual Merit: These instruments will enable scientific research across nanotechnology by providing reproducible materials techniques for carbon nanotube, germanium and magnetic/optical/electronic structures; and for characterization of biological systems. NNIN's technical staff will extend the capabilities of these instruments by interacting with users and incorporating these new capabilities into user research projects. This interaction will foster strong inter-disciplinary and innovative uses across the breadth of nanotechnology.Broader Impact: Through NNIN's large research user population, this technology will have wide geographic reach involving researchers from academia, small and large companies and federal research laboratories. NNIN's educational efforts?specific undergraduate research projects using these instruments, the training of over 1300 new students every year, freely accessible web-based resources, and nanotechnology-focused workshops?will focus on outreach to the student and scientific community at large.

MRI建议：0722812本提案的目的是通过在开放的环境中向国家用户社区提供最先进的资源，并由知识渊博的工作人员提供技术支持，以促进纳米技术研究。该奖项提供了四个新的纳米技术能力，将位于NNIN的四个设施，并提供给全国各地的所有用户：1）用于先进材料沉积和新型器件制造的碳纳米管生长系统（Cornell），2）用于处理锗半导体的自动化学处理器（Automated Chemical Processor），（斯坦福大学），3）用于材料和生物系统表征，质谱仪（GaTech），4）用于新型磁性、光学和电子器件的处理，多靶反应溅射系统（UCSB）。智力优势：这些仪器将通过为碳纳米管、锗和磁/光/电子结构提供可再生材料技术，以及为生物系统的表征提供可再生材料技术，使跨纳米技术的科学研究成为可能。NNIN的技术人员将通过与用户互动并将这些新功能纳入用户研究项目来扩展这些仪器的功能。 更广泛的影响：通过NNIN庞大的研究用户群，这项技术将具有广泛的地理覆盖范围，涉及来自学术界、小型和大型公司以及联邦研究实验室的研究人员。NNIN的教育工作？具体的本科生研究项目，使用这些仪器，超过1300名新生每年的培训，免费访问的网络资源，和纳米技术为重点的研讨会？将重点关注与广大学生和科学界的联系。
