Nanotechnology Research Instrumentation in Support of NNIN (2008)

奖项摘要提案号：ECCS- 0821565受助人：康奈尔大学代表国家纳米技术基础设施网络，标题：纳米技术研究仪器支持NNIN（2008）该奖项的目标是推动电子、微系统、材料科学和生命科学领域的纳米技术研究。NNIN设施将获得并提供供国家开放使用的仪器：(a)快速深玻璃蚀刻（密歇根大学），通过溅射沉积复杂氧化物材料（宾夕法尼亚州立大学），等离子体共振测量（华盛顿大学）和生物和新型材料的非接触印刷（佐治亚理工学院）。该方法将使可再生的无机和有机/生物材料的沉积和加工，包括新技术的开发及其特性，这些将提供给具有可靠协议和严格培训的国家研究人员，以便实际使用。广泛的研究项目将受益，包括相变现象和有机材料的应用进展，对生命科学现象的理解，以及跨学科边界的更广泛应用，包括有机-无机界面。该项目的广泛影响源于庞大的研究用户群体（4500名用户，其中包括650名工业用户）、地理多样性以及NNIN所追求的教育和更广泛的努力。NNIN将开发并提供将在网络上提供的协议和培训，组织以技术为重点的讲习班，利用这些工具，并将这些工具用于具体的本科研究项目。

Award AbstractProposal Number: ECCS- 0821565Grantee: Cornell University on behalf of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure NetworkTitle: Nanotechnology Research Instrumentation in Support of NNIN (2008)The objective of this award is to advance nanotechnology research at the boundaries of electronics, microsystems, materials science and life sciences. NNIN facilities will acquire and make available instruments for open national use: (a) rapid deep glass etching (University of Michigan), deposition of complex oxide materials by sputtering (Penn-State University), plasmon resonance measurements (University of Washington) and non-contact printing of biological & novel materials (Georgia Tech).The approach will enable reproducible inorganic and organic/biological materials deposition and processing, including development of new techniques, and their characterization, that will be available to national researchers with reliable protocols and rigorous training for hands-on use. A broad group of research projects will benefit including advances in applications of phase transition phenomena and organic materials, understanding of life science phenomena, and the broader uses across discipline boundaries including organic-inorganic interfaces.The broader impact of this project stems from the large research user population (4500 users including 650 industrial users), geographic diversity, and the educational and broader efforts that NNIN pursues. NNIN will develop and make available protocols and training that will be available on the web, organize technology-focused workshops leveraging the instruments and employ these tools in specific undergraduate research projects.
