Powder Diffractometer System

小行星9508180 这笔赠款提供125，000美元，作为购买粉末衍射仪系统和辅助设备的部分支持，包括高温和低温附件，单色仪，位置敏感探测器以及控制硬件和软件。 该系统将设在地质科学系的X射线矿物学实验室。 该大学将提供该系统总成本的44%。 这一设备将取代一个陈旧和目前不适当的粉末X射线衍射装置。 目前的仪器迄今为止一直作为唯一的粉末衍射仪服务于整个中央校区的密歇根大学。 除了主要研究者在粘土矿物学方面备受推崇的研究外，新设施还将提供给其他部门的合格学生和教师，包括地质科学，化学，物理和药学院的成员。 ***

9508180 Peacor This grant provides $125,000 as partial support for the acquisition of a powder diffractometer system and ancillary equipment including high and low-temperature attachments, a monochromator, a position-sensitive detector, and controlling hardware and software. This system will be housed in the X-ray Mineralogy Laboratory of the Department of Geological Sciences. The university will provide 44% of the total cost of this system. This equipment will replace an antiquated and presently inadequate powder X-ray diffraction unit. The present instrument has heretofore served as the only powder diffractometer servicing the entire Central Campus of the University of Michigan. In addition to its use in the principal investigator's highly regarded research in clay mineralogy, the new facility will be available to qualified students and faculty of other departments including members of the Departments of Geological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics and the College of Pharmacy and Dentistry. ***
