CRIF: MU - Acquisition of an X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer

在化学研究仪器和设施-多用户仪器（CRIF-MU）计划的支持下，俄勒冈大学化学系将获得一台x射线光电子光谱仪。受益于该仪器的研究项目包括：1)纳米颗粒构建模块的设计、功能化和组装研究；2)新型光伏结构中埋藏异质界面处的能带偏移；3)系统掺杂纳米结构材料中的电荷转移；4)通过令人兴奋的新合成策略产生的纳米团簇的组成；5)光化学可降解聚合物的表征。x射线光电子能谱仪（XPS）用于化学分析。它用一束单色x射线照射样品，测量产生的光电子的能量，并将其与特定元素相关联。XPS通常在定义所研究的系统方面起着至关重要的作用。这些研究人员将要开展的工作代表了一系列需要表征的系统。所要求的XPS的一个关键特征是它将启用网络，并使非现场用户可以访问。

With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities - Multiuser Instrumentation (CRIF-MU) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oregon will acquire an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. Research projects to benefit from this instrument include: 1) research on the design, functionalization, and assembly of nanoparticle building blocks; and 2) band offsets at buried heterointerfaces in novel photovoltaic structures; 3) charge transfer in systematically doped nanostructured materials; 4) composition of nanoclusters produced via an exciting new synthetic strategy; and 5) characterization of photochemically degradable polymers. The X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) is used for chemical analysis. It irradiates a sample with a beam of monochromatic X-rays and the energies of the resulting photoelectrons are measured and related to specific elements. XPS often plays a crucial role in defining the system under study. The work to be carried out by these investigators represents a wide array of systems requiring characterization. A key feature of the requested XPS is that it will be cyber-enabled and made accessible to off-site users.
