An Instructional Scanning Tunneling Microscope for the Enhancement of the Advanced Physics Laboratory

9451627 Calle该项目将获得一台教学扫描隧道显微镜，用于加强和现代化先进的物理实验室。STM的极端放大和测量分辨率能力将允许学生可视化表面原子，进行原子结构实验，测量原子尺寸，并研究半导体的表面和缺陷。在第二学期的传统微积分物理课程中，STM也将用于课堂演示，让学生观察原子表面并进行简单的测量实验。我们也计划在我们的非专业课程中引入仪器，让学生观察原子表面。最后，我们的高年级学生将能够与STM一起进行研究项目。该设备将加强和现代化我们的实验室产品在各个层面，并将为我们的学生提供令人兴奋的最先进的经验。

9451627 Calle This project will acquire an Instructional Scanning Tunneling Microscope, which will be used to strengthen and modernize the advanced physics laboratory. The extreme magnification and measurement resolution capability of the STM will permit the students to visualize surface atoms, perform experiments in atomic structure, measure atomic dimensions, and study the surfaces and defects of semiconductors. The STM will also be used in the second semester of the traditional calculus-based physics course in class demonstrations to allow the students to observe atomic surfaces and perform a simple measurement experiment. We also plan to introduce the instrument in our course for nonmajors, allowing the students to observe atomic surfaces. Finally, our seniors will be able to undertake research projects with the STM. The equipment will strengthen and modernize our laboratory offerings at all levels and will provide our students with exciting state-of-the-art experiences.
