Acquisition of a Micro-IR Spectrometer System at ASU

该奖项提供了三分之一的资金所需的 购买红外光谱仪系统， 近红外、中红外和远红外测量能力。的 仪器将在部门内安装和操作 亚利桑那州立大学的化学教授。大学是 承诺为此提供所需的剩余资金 采集 化学系的研究人员有一个密集的 矿物学和地球化学研究计划，需要 最先进的红外光谱仪电流 研究项目包括：（1）硅酸盐的结构研究， 铝硅酸盐玻璃;（2）铝硅酸盐玻璃水溶液的研究; 硅酸盐玻璃和熔体，（3）原子有序-无序问题， 铝硅酸盐，（4）结构和热力学研究 高压阶段。

This award provides one-third of the funds required for the purchase of an infrared (IR) spectrometer system with capabilities for near-, mid-, and far-IR measurements. The instrumentation is to be installed and operated in the Department of Chemistry at the Arizona State University. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for this acquisition. Researchers in the Chemistry Department have an intensive research program in mineralogy and geochemistry which requires access to state-of-the-art infrared spectrometry. Current research projects include: (1) structural studies of silicate and aluminosilicate glasses, (2) studies of water solution in silicate glasses and melts, (3) atomic order-disorder problems in aluminosilicates, (4) structural and thermodynamic studies of high-pressure phases.
