Research Toward the Application of Real-Time GAS Electron Diffraction as a Detector for GAS Chromatography

这项拟议的研究将研究气体电子衍射(GED)的增强，从而导致该检测模式在气相色谱中的应用。建议使用多通道检测来获得关于汽相分子的直接、实时的结构信息。目前，这种方法的局限性阻碍了它的应用。希望这项研究将减少这些限制，并据此建立GED的适用性，用于研究离开气相色谱仪柱的分析物。如果成功，这项研究可能开创一种直接“结构层析”的新工具。

The proposed reseach will investigate enhancements of gas electron diffraction (GED) leading to application of this detection mode in gas chromatography. It is proposed to use multichannel detection to obtain direct, real-time structural information on molecules in the vapor phase. At present, limitations on this method prevent its application. It is hoped that this research will reduce these limitations and, hereby, establish serviceability, of GED for study of analytes leaving the column of a gas chromatograph. If successful, this research could pioneer a new instrument for direct "structural chromatography".
