Clark Atlanta University (CAU) proposes to the National Science Foundation's MRI program to acquire a modern secondary ion mass spectrometer for multidisciplinary research and training of next generation scientists, i. e., undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students in physics, materials science, and chemistry. The new instrument will replace a single investigator, custom built system that is over 30 years old. The tool will significantly enhance the research infrastructure of CAU and it will provide a high level of research and training opportunities for local materials research community. This will augment a suite of existing characterization tools that are oriented to impact research lines in various areas of materials research. This multi-user tool will be configured to serve the multidisciplinary needs of a diverse faculty representing 6 STEM departments, 3 Historically Black College or Universities, and 2 Minority Serving Institutions.This acquisition will provide depth profile, chemical species identification, stoichiometry, and expanded imaging analysis capability. This will augment a suite of existing characterization tools that are oriented to impact research lines in solid state lighting, polymer synthesis and functionalization, semiconductors, two-dimensional topological materials and device processing. The shared access of this tool will broadly impact and foster interdisciplinary collaborations across departments and institutions and provide a major training resource for the next generation of materials scientists. This community effort has already had a significant impact on the number of under-represented minorities and women in the STEM disciplines. The tool will enhance students with readily marketable skills in materials analysis and characterization to compete globally. This acquisition in conjunction with the existing instrumentation will establish a suite of state-of-the art materials characterization tools that are unique to the geographical area.

克拉克亚特兰大大学（CAU）建议国家科学基金会的MRI计划，以获得一个现代化的二次离子质谱仪的多学科研究和下一代科学家的培训，即。例如，物理学、材料科学和化学的本科生、研究生和博士后。新的仪器将取代一个单一的调查，定制的系统，是超过30岁。该工具将显著增强中国农业大学的研究基础设施，并将为当地材料研究界提供高水平的研究和培训机会。这将增加一套现有的表征工具，这些工具面向材料研究各个领域的影响研究线。该多用户工具将被配置为服务于代表6个STEM部门，3个历史上黑人学院或大学和2个少数民族服务机构的多元化教师的多学科需求。此次收购将提供深度剖面，化学物种识别，化学计量和扩展的成像分析能力。这将增加一套现有的表征工具，这些工具旨在影响固态照明，聚合物合成和功能化，半导体，二维拓扑材料和器件加工的研究线。该工具的共享访问将广泛影响和促进跨部门和机构的跨学科合作，并为下一代材料科学家提供重要的培训资源。这一社区努力已经对STEM学科中代表性不足的少数民族和妇女的数量产生了重大影响。该工具将提高学生在材料分析和表征方面的市场技能，以在全球范围内竞争。此次收购与现有的仪器一起将建立一套最先进的材料表征工具，这些工具是该地区独有的。
