This award from the Division of Materials Research supports Stanford University with the conceptual engineering design and development of a prototype scanning sampling Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) microscope. High spatial resolution sampling scanning SQUID microscopes are among the world?s most sensitive magnetic detectors. The project will provide scientist and engineers with a new imaging capability of time-independent magnetic fields with nanoscale spatial resolution and single electron spin sensitivity. It will enable imaging of time-dependent magnetic fields with 10 picoseconds time resolution. Such measurements of nanomagnetic phenomena are of interest in information technology, biotechnology, and energy technology, as well as fundamental science. The microscope is designed to become a general user tool at two co-located shared user facilities, the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF), a member of the National Nanofabrication Infrastructure Network, and the Center for Probing the Nanoscale (CPN). The microscope would be a transformative tool in the hands of the users, scientists and engineers, needing to characterize such widely varying materials as superconductors, magnetic nanoparticles, magnetic semiconductors, and multiferroics. The project is based on collaboration between IBM and Stanford. This university-industry collaboration will allow mentoring and hands-on experience for a diverse group of students and postdocs in an industrial environment.

该奖项由材料研究部颁发，支持斯坦福大学的概念工程设计和原型扫描采样超导量子干涉装置（SQUID）显微镜的开发。高空间分辨率采样扫描SQUID显微镜在世界上名列前茅。最灵敏的磁探测器。该项目将为科学家和工程师提供具有纳米级空间分辨率和单电子自旋灵敏度的与时间无关的磁场的新成像能力。它将使与时间相关的磁场成像具有10皮秒的时间分辨率。这种纳米磁现象的测量在信息技术、生物技术、能源技术以及基础科学中都很有意义。该显微镜旨在成为两个共享用户设施的通用用户工具，一个是斯坦福纳米制造设施（SNF），国家纳米制造基础设施网络的成员，另一个是纳米尺度探测中心（CPN）。在用户、科学家和工程师手中，显微镜将是一种变革性的工具，需要表征超导体、磁性纳米粒子、磁性半导体和多铁性材料等各种各样的材料。该项目是基于IBM和斯坦福大学之间的合作。这种大学-工业合作将为工业环境中的不同学生和博士后群体提供指导和实践经验。
