Development of Enhanced Scanning Probe Spectroscopies and Atomic-Scale Analyses

该仪器开发奖授予宾夕法尼亚州立大学帕克分校，由材料研究仪器项目和化学研究仪器和设施项目共同资助。开发新的材料性质原子尺度光谱探针。这将推动在这种规模上测量和携带材料表面化学指纹的能力的发展。这些将通过广泛传播和更直接地通过广泛的合作网络及其他方式影响工业、政府和学术研究。具体来说，新工具将允许以前所未有的分辨率在光学、微波和声学条件下对材料进行局部测量。这些新功能也将被用于一次测量一个粒子、分子或表面位置，从而阐明材料的内在特性，区别于非均质混合物的平均特性。将有可能针对感兴趣的结构和性质进行更精确的合成和分离。大学将广泛提供这些新的测量工具和技术。这项开发工作的组成部分是培训学生、博士后、访客和合作者如何创建、优化和评估这种类型的新仪器。宾夕法尼亚州立大学帕克分校的仪器开发奖是由材料研究仪器项目和化学研究仪器和设施项目联合颁发的。开发新的材料性质原子尺度光谱探针。这些技术将在纳米尺度上对材料表面进行测量和化学指纹鉴定。这些将通过广泛传播和更直接地通过广泛的合作网络及其他方式影响工业、政府和学术研究。具体来说，新工具将允许以前所未有的分辨率在光学、微波和声学条件下对材料进行局部测量。这些新功能也将被用于一次测量一个粒子、分子或表面位置，从而阐明材料的内在特性，区别于非均质混合物的平均特性。将有可能针对感兴趣的结构和性质进行更精确的合成和分离。这些新的测量工具和技术将被广泛使用。这项开发工作的组成部分是培训学生、博士后、访客和合作者如何创建、优化和评估这种类型的新仪器。% % %

This instrument development award to Pennsylvania State University, University Park is jointly funded by the Instrumentation for Materials Research Program, and the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities program. New atomic-scale spectroscopic probes of materials properties will be developed. These will advance the state-of-the-art in the ability to measure and carry chemical fingerprinting of materials surfaces at this scale. These will impact industrial, government, and academic research both via broad dissemination and more directly through extensive network of collaborations and beyond. Specifically, the new tool will allow local measurements to study materials in the optical, microwave, and acoustic regimes with unprecedented resolution. These new capabilities will also be exploited to measure one particle, molecule, or surface site at a time, so as to elucidate the intrinsic materials properties, as distinct from the average properties of heterogeneous mixtures. It will be possible to target structures and properties of interest for more precise synthesis and separation. The University will make these new measurement tools and techniques widely available. Integral to this development effort is training students, post-docs, visitors, and collaborators in how to create, to optimize, and to evaluate new instruments of this type.
