Proposal to Purchase an Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emmission Spectrometer to Upgrade the Atomic Spectroscopy Instrumentation at the University of California, Berkeley

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的合同将帮助加州大学伯克利分校化学系获得一台电感耦合等离子体光学发射光谱仪（ICP-OES）。这种设备将加强若干领域的研究，包括：(1)半导体纳米晶体(2)金属污染生态系统的生物修复(3)金属生物化学(4)金属配体立体识别(5)氧化物超导体(6)明确体系中分子到固体的转化(7)利用Ir、Rh、Re和Zr配合物的C-H活化(8)含过渡金属元素的沸石的合成(9)利用Zr参考框架的成土反应的体积变化，（10）地球化学相关条件下嗜热微生物的生长。电感耦合等离子体光学发射光谱仪（ICP-OES）用于测定大多数元素的元素分析。它使用惰性气体作为雾化源，激发许多元素产生其特征发射，并被检测到。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at the University of California Berkeley acquire an inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) semiconducting nanocrystals (2) bioremediation of metal polluted ecosystems (3) metallobiochemistry (4) stereognosis metal ligands (5) oxide superconductors (6) molecule-to-solid transformations in well defined systems (7) C-H activation utilizing Ir, Rh, Re and Zr complexes (8) synthesis of zeolites containin transition metal elements (9) volume change of soil-forming reactings using Zr reference frame, and (10) growth of thermophiles under geochemically relevant conditions. The inductively couple plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) is used to determine the elemental anlaysis of most elements. It uses an inert gas which serves an an atomization source that excites many elements generating their characteristic emission, which is detected.
