Purchase of Impedance Spectroscopy Instrumentation for Research in Synthesis by Electrochemistry Techniques

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的合同将允许内布拉斯加大学林肯分校的物理和天文系获得阻抗光谱仪器。Bernard Doudin是一名初级教员，他的研究重点是利用电化学技术合成的材料的原位表征，包括铁磁体和纳米结构材料，他将是该设备的主要用户。电沉积技术已被证明是一种制造磁性层的有效方法。例如，它们已经成功地广泛应用于磁记录工业。该仪器将允许杜丁监测磁性材料在制造过程中的性能；这将最终导致对合成的更好的理解和控制。目标是通过开发新的合成路线来制造新的磁电子器件。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program will allow the Physics and Astronomy Department at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln to acquire an impedance spectroscopy instrument. Bernard Doudin, a junior faculty member whose research focuses on in situ characterization of materials synthesized using electrochemical techniques, including ferromagnets and nanostructured materials, will be the primary user of this equipment. Electrodeposition techniques have been shown to be a powerful method for fabricating magnetic layers. They have been successfully and extensively used in the magnetic recording industry, for example. This instrument will allow Doudin to monitor the properties of the magnetic materials while they are being fabricated; this will ultimately lead to a better understanding and control of the synthesis. The goal is to make new magneto-electronics devices by exploiting novel synthesis routes.
