MRI: Acquisition of a NanoSIMS

MRI: NanoSIMS的收购斯坦福大学10多个系的研究人员认识到共同需要用纳米尺度的空间分辨率识别成分，并联合起来建立了NanoSIMS用户设施，用于研究和教育。NanoSIMS结合了传统SIMS的高质量分辨率、同位素识别和百万分之一灵敏度，空间分辨率低至50纳米。美国国家科学基金会将通过斯坦福纳米制造设施（SNF）——国家纳米技术基础设施网络（NNIN）的一个节点——保持监督。内部和外部用户将开展独特和高质量的科学研究，并开发利用NanoSIMS？独特的功能。大部分研究将由学生和博士后学者进行，为我们的国家提供优秀的培训。美国新的科学家和工程师。斯坦福大学有很多项目旨在提高女性和少数族裔的参与度，而个人教育计划和共同个人教育计划？我们有培养不同研究人员和教育工作者的历史。NanoSIMS将用于斯坦福大学和合作学校的一系列正式课程。行业研究和开发人员依赖斯坦福的设施和研究环境，我们致力于建立远程访问能力，以便更广泛地访问研究和课程。此外，我们将继续高度重视技术论文的发表，预计NanoSIMS在许多令人兴奋的研究领域的独特功能将引起人们的兴趣。

MRI: Acquisition of a NanoSIMSStanford researchers in over 10 departments recognize a shared need to identify composition with nanoscale spatial resolution and have joined together to establish a NanoSIMS user facility for research and education. NanoSIMS combines the high mass resolution, isotopic identification, and sub-parts-per-million sensitivity of conventional SIMS with spatial resolution down to 50 nm. The NSF will maintain oversight through the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF), a node of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN). Internal and external users will carry out distinctive and high-quality science and develop methodologies that exploit the NanoSIMS? distinctive capabilities. The majority of the research will be carried out by students and postdoctoral scholars, providing excellent training for our Nation?s new scientists and engineers.Stanford has a variety of programs designed to increase participation of women and minorities, and the PI and co-PI?s have a history of training diverse researchers and educators. The NanoSIMS will be available for a range of formal courses at Stanford and at partner schools. Industry research and development personnel rely on the Stanford facilities and research environment, and we are committed to building up a remote access capability to allow more widespread access for both research and classes. In addition, we will continue to place a high priority on the publication of technique papers, anticipating an explosion of interest in the unique capabilities of the NanoSIMS for many exciting research areas.
