Acquisition of a Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope for Nanotexture and Microcharacterization

小行星9625692 该奖项支持收购扫描透射电子显微镜（STEM），作为两个主要学术机构材料研究界增长和发展的下一步，佛罗里达农业和机械大学（FAMU）-少数民族/HBCU机构，和佛罗里达州立大学（FSU），与材料研究与技术中心和国家强磁场实验室一起。 这些研究项目解决了在一些领域，如先进的铝基航空航天合金，复合材料，高强度导体，高温合金和电子薄膜的技术重要材料的微观特性的需要。 获得具有纳米纹理分析能力的STEM的主要目标是使FAMU和FSU的教师和研究人员能够在材料表征领域进行研究。 这包括但不限于纳米纹理分析、纳米相鉴定和原位变形和退火研究。 该设备将补充我们现有的纹理设施，因此提供了一个独特的微量分析能力，先进的研究在国际范围内。 获得具有纳米纹理分析能力的STEM的主要目标是使FAMU和FSU的教师和研究人员能够在材料表征领域进行研究。 这包括但不限于纳米纹理分析、纳米相鉴定和原位变形和退火研究。 该设备将补充我们现有的纹理设施，因此提供了一个独特的微量分析能力，先进的研究在国际范围内。 ***

9625692 Kalu This award supports the acquisition of a Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) as the next step in the growth and development of the materials research community at two major academic institutions, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) - a minority/HBCU institution, and Florida State University (FSU), together with the Center for Materials Research and Technology and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. The research projects address the need for microcharacterization of technologically important materials in a number of fields such as advanced aluminum-based aerospace alloys, composites, high strength conductors, high temperature alloys and electronic thin films. The primary objective in acquiring an STEM with a nanotexture analytical capability is to enable the faculty and researchers at FAMU and FSU to perform research in the area of materials characterization. This includes, but is not limited to nanotexture analysis, nanophase identification and in-situ deformation and annealing studies. The equipment will compliment our existing texture facility and therefore provide a unique microanalytical capability for advanced research on an international scale. %%% The primary objective in acquiring an STEM with a nanotexture analytical capability is to enable the faculty and researchers at FAMU and FSU to perform research in the area of materials characterization.
