Improving Infrared Spectroscopy Instrumentation at Taylor University

使用该设备实现的主要目标 项目有：（1）使学生能够进行实验 因为以前的文书没有 具有足够的分辨率或波长范围，（2）提供 学生有机会使用数字数据处理 技术与记录和操作相结合 红外光谱 购买的红外光谱仪具有分辨率 的1.0波数，使高年级学生记录 用于量子化学中具有足够分辨率的光谱 计算。 通信接口允许 仪器连接到PC，以便学生获得 具有数字数据处理技术的经验。 干扰 软件系统设计由学生在微机上完成 接口课程 该机构正在匹配国家科学基金会的拨款 同样数量的资金。

The main goals that are achieved using the equipment in this project are: (1) to enable the students to preform experiments that were able to be done because the former instruments do not have adequate resolution or wavelength range, (2) to provide students with opportunities to use digital data handling techniques in conjunction with recording and manipulating infrared spectra. The IR spectrometer purchased has a resolution of 1.0 wavenumbers and enables upper division students to record spectra with sufficient resolution for use in quantum chemical calculations. The communications interface permits the instrument to be interfaced to a PC so that students gain experience with digital data handling techniques. The interfcing and software system design is done by students in a microcomputer interfacing course. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.
