Technician Support for the Arizona State University Multiple Anvil High Pressure Laboratory (Phase I)

0114262 Tyburczy这笔赠款为一名技术人员提供三年的部分工资支持，以监督亚利桑那州立大学(亚利桑那州立大学)的多重钉子高压实验室。该实验室目前由三个步行式多锤装置以及样品制备站和辅助支持设备组成，占地2500平方英尺。实验室主管将维护和改进高压设备，监督亚利桑那州立大学的研究人员和来访者的实验室使用情况，并帮助亚利桑那州立大学的研究人员开发新的实验方法。鉴于大量的地球科学家和学生在实验室工作，以及他们的项目性质各异，实验室监督员对于实验室的正常运作至关重要。现任实验室主管Kurt D.Leinenweber博士是地球科学高压和晶体学界受人尊敬的重要成员，也是高压技术的卓越监管者、创新者和教师。在过去的6年里，他一直担任该实验室的实验室主管。这一支持将促进关于地球材料高压合成和相平衡的重要新研究，包括关于含水高压相的新工作，以及测量地球材料在高压下的物理性质，包括流变学和电学性质。除了利用地球科学，该设施还将被来自亚利桑那州立大学和其他机构的化学家、材料科学家和物理学家用于合成和表征新材料。***

0114262 Tyburczy This grant provides three years partial salary support for a technician to supervise the Multiple Anvil High Pressure Laboratory at Arizona State University (ASU). This laboratory currently consists of three Walker-type multiple anvil devices plus sample preparation stations and ancillary support equipment in a 2500 square foot space. The Laboratory Supervisor will maintain and improve the high pressure equipment, supervise laboratory usage by ASU researchers and visitors, and aid ASU researchers in development of novel experimental approaches. A Lab Supervisor is essential to proper functioning of the lab in light of the great number of earth scientists and students working in the lab and the varied nature of their of their projects. The current Laboratory Supervisor, Dr. Kurt D. Leinenweber, is a respected and significant member of the Earth Science high pressure and crystallographic communities as well as a superb supervisor, innovator and teacher of high pressure technology. He has been Laboratory Supervisor for this facility for the past 6 years. This support will facilitate important new research on high pressure synthesis and phase equilibria of earth materials, including novel work on hydrous high pressure phases, and measurements of physical properties of earth materials at high pressures, including rheological and electrical properties. In addition to Earth Science utilization, this facility will be used by chemists, materials scientists, and physicists from ASU and other institutions for synthesis and characterization of novel materials. ***
