Acquisition of x-ray photoelectron spectrometer for surface analysis

AbstractU。俄克拉荷马大学（UO）将购买一台x射线光电子能谱仪（XPS）系统。XPS系统的收购将补充该大学现有的现代仪器，用于许多学科的材料和工艺表征。该仪器将能够提供几乎任何材料表面的化学成分和物理化学状态的详细表征。确定使用这一工具的主要研究领域包括与能源有关的项目、材料科学研究和与环境问题有关的研究。一些涉及多相催化剂、聚合物、半导体和其他电子材料表征的正在进行的项目将大大受益于该仪器的可用性。该仪器将有助于完成俄克拉何马大学化学工程与材料科学学院（CEMS）以及更广泛的几个重要研究和教育目标。

AbstractU. of OklahomaCTS-9977594The University of Oklahoma (UO) will purchase an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) system. The acquisition of the XPS system will complement existing modern instrumentation at the university used for the characterization of materials and processes in a number of disciplines. This instrument will be capable of providing a detailed characterization of the chemical composition and physico-chemical state of the surface of almost any material. Among the key research areas identified for use of this instrument are energy-related projects, materials science research and research related to environmental issues. A number of active projects, involving the characterization of heterogeneous catalysts, polymers, semi-conductors, and other electronic materials will greatly benefit from the availability of this instrument. This instrument will aid in accomplishing several important research and educational goals of the School of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (CEMS) and more widely at the University of Oklahoma.
