MRI: Acquisition of a Scanning Probe Microscopy Systemfor Nanoscale Probing, Manipulation and Fabrication"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)"Project SummaryA Nanonics scanning probe microscopy (NSPM) system will be acquired for investigating and manipulating nanoscale systems. The system is extremely flexible, allowing the simultaneous use of several probes anywhere on a sample, including optical, electrical, AFM, dip-pen/nanopipette, tweezers and heaters.Intellectual Merits - Nanoscale devices, materials and systems are yielding exciting discoveries and solving the most challenging problems. To develop and understand these devices an instrument that can probe and modify the nanoscale characteristics of these devices is required. This is especially the case as nanosystems and devices become more and more complex - integrating, optical, electronic, and chemical responses and functionalities. At RIT the NSPM will directly benefit several of these research areas, including nanophotonics, plasmonics, biological MEMS, lithography, batteries, photovoltaics and nanomaterials. Broader Impacts - The acquisition of the NSPM instrument will enable a multitude of experiments and discoveries that will have a significant impact on several fields, such as, computing, telecommunications, biosciences, lithography and power. The tool will be incorporated into already existing courses in the Microsystems Engineering and Microelectronics program and a course will be developed specifically for the tool where students fabricate nanodevices and test them. In addition, the instrument and the research enabled by it will have an impact on the local community through already established K-12 outreach programs, to the local Optical Society of America and IEEE chapters and to members of New York States photonics industry.

“该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。项目概述：纳米扫描探针显微镜（NSPM）系统将用于研究和操纵纳米级系统。”该系统非常灵活，允许在样品的任何地方同时使用多个探针，包括光学，电子，AFM，浸笔/纳米管，镊子和加热器。纳米器件、材料和系统正在产生令人兴奋的发现，并解决最具挑战性的问题。为了开发和理解这些器件，需要一种能够探测和修改这些器件的纳米级特性的仪器。尤其是当纳米系统和器件变得越来越复杂——集成、光学、电子和化学反应和功能。在RIT， NSPM将直接有利于这些研究领域的几个，包括纳米光子学，等离子体，生物MEMS，光刻，电池，光伏和纳米材料。更广泛的影响- NSPM仪器的收购将使大量的实验和发现成为可能，这些实验和发现将对几个领域产生重大影响，如计算、电信、生物科学、光刻和电力。该工具将被纳入现有的微系统工程和微电子学课程中，并将专门为该工具开发一门课程，让学生制作纳米器件并对其进行测试。此外，该仪器及其研究将通过已经建立的K-12外展计划，对当地的美国光学学会和IEEE分会以及纽约州光子学行业的成员产生影响。
