X-Ray Diffraction Facility for Undergrduate Teaching/ Research in Chemistry and Physics

材料科学在科学技术中发挥着重要作用。尽管它很重要，但本科生几乎没有接触到材料科学中使用的主要实验技术，特别是X射线衍射。本项目在现代X射线粉末衍射仪的基础上建立了一套X射线衍射仪。X射线粉末衍射仪可供化学、物理专业的中高级学生使用。该项目的目标是物理和化学方面的材料研究。这两个系的五门课程和一项独立研究受到该项目的影响。由于很少有本科院校有X射线衍射仪，该设备是化学系和物理系合作使用X射线衍射仪的典范。

Materials science is playing a major role in science and technology. Despite its importance, undergraduates have had little exposure to the major experimental techniques used in materials science, particularly X-ray diffraction. This project establishes an X-ray diffraction facility based on a modern X-ray powder diffractometer. The X-ray powder diffractometer can be used by intermediate- and advanced-level students majoring in chemistry and physics. The project targets materials research in both physics and chemistry. Five courses and an independent study in the two departments are affected by the project. Because few undergraduate colleges have an X-ray diffraction facility, this facility is serving as a model for the use of an X-ray diffractometer in the collaboration between chemistry and physics departments.
