The Acquisition of a Scanning Tunneling / Atomic Force Microscope

9303104 Bonnell这款扫描隧道/原子力显微镜将用于各种材料的研究。一些研究人员进行了初步研究，这些研究表明，如果经常使用STM/AFM，他们的研究可以取得重大进展。研究主题包括表面粗糙度明显的变形与金属/陶瓷界面的局部塑性机制、高强度金属间化合物合金的解理断裂以及自组装有机单分子膜的结构和形成。包括医疗植入材料的表面相互作用、催化应用中金属氧化物表面的反应性、金属的动态脆化以及生物材料的结构研究等项目。该设备的目标是在单一的多能力仪器中为各种材料提供高空间分辨率成像。该显微镜将补充我们的其他超高真空表面分析和电子显微镜设施。

9303104 Bonnell This scanning tunneling/atomic force microscope will be used in a variety of materials investigations. Several investigators have carried out preliminary studies which indicate that significant progress in their research could be made with regular access to an STM/AFM. The research topics include relating deformation as manifest in surface roughness to mechanisms of local plasticity at metal/ceramic interfaces, cleavage fracture in high strength intermetallic alloys, and structure and formation of self- assembled organic monolayers. Included are projects on surface interactions on medical implant materials, reactivity of metal oxide surfaces for catalytic applications, dynamic embrittlement in metals, and structural studies of biological materials. The objective of this facility is to provide high spatial resolution imaging for a wide range of materials in a single multicapability instrument. This microscope will complement our other UHV surface analytical and electron microscopy facilities.
