Acquisition of an Analytical Field Emmision Gun Scanning Electron Microscope

加州大学欧文分校（UCI）将获得一台具有能量色散光谱（EDS）功能的场发射枪扫描电子显微镜（FEG-SEM），致力于支持工程和科学领域的跨学科材料研究。来自化学与生物化学工程系、机械与航空航天工程系、电子与计算机工程系和化学系的参与教师们已经联合起来，一致认为该仪器是这些参与材料合成和表征的教师们的首要任务。该设备将主要用于跨学科材料科学与工程研究生课程的研究生教育和研究项目，重点是：(1)纳米晶合金的制造；(2)复合材料的合成和变形；(3)新材料的化学合成；(4)微电子器件中的材料问题；(5)超塑性。UCI目前拥有最先进的分析TEM和XRD仪器，获得这种分析FEG-SEM是建立材料微观结构表征设施的重要一步。% % %

9503774 Mecartney The University of California at Irvine (UCI) will acquire a field emission gun scanning electron microscope (FEG-SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) capabilities, dedicated to support interdisciplinary materials research in engineering and science. Participating faculty from the Departments of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Chemistry have joined together and agreed that this instrument is the number one priority for these faculty involved in the synthesis and characterization of materials. The equipment will be used primarily for the education of graduate students in the interdisciplinary Materials Science & Engineering graduate program and for research projects focusing on (1) the fabrication of nanocrystalline alloys (2) composite materials synthesis and deformation (3) chemical synthesis mf new materials (4) materials issues in microelectronic devices and (5) superplasticity. The acquisition of this analytical FEG-SEM is an essential next step in building the microstructural characterization of materials facility at UCI which currently contains state-of-the-art analytical TEM and XRD instrumentation. %%%
