Development of a Multi-Purpose Laser Deposition Facility for Research and Education in Nanostructured Materials

该奖项由主要研究仪器项目授予阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB），用于开发用于纳米结构材料研究和教育的多用途激光沉积设备。该项目的第一阶段包括开发一种新型纳米颗粒脉冲束激光沉积技术，该技术可以提供可选择尺寸的纳米颗粒，在基板上沉积任意形状的图案。该项目的第二阶段是将新技术与传统的脉冲激光沉积技术集成到一个单一的沉积设备中。新设施将为纳米复合材料的制造提供一种新的方法。该设施将成为UAB纳米结构材料研究和培训的多用户工具。该仪器将帮助UAB建立五个新的研究项目。该仪器开发项目将补充现有的nsf支持的REU站点。该奖项由主要研究仪器项目授予阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB），用于开发用于纳米结构材料研究和教育的多用途激光沉积设备。该项目的第一阶段包括开发一种新型纳米颗粒脉冲束激光沉积技术，该技术可以提供可选择尺寸的纳米颗粒，在基板上沉积任意形状的图案。该项目的第二阶段是将新技术与传统的脉冲激光沉积技术集成到一个单一的沉积设备中。新设施将为纳米复合材料的制造提供一种新的方法。该设施将成为UAB纳米结构材料研究和培训的多用户工具。该仪器将帮助UAB建立五个新的研究项目。该仪器开发项目将补充现有的nsf支持的REU站点。

This award from the Major Research Instrumentation program to the University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) is for the development of a multipurpose laser deposition facility for research and education in nanostructured materials. The first phase of the project consists in the development of a novel nanoparticles pulsed beam laser deposition technique that delivers size-selected nanoparticles to deposit arbitrarily shaped patterns on a substrate. The second phase of the project consists in the integration of the new technique with conventional Pulsed Laser Deposition technique into a single deposition facility. The new facility will provide a new method for creation of nano composite materials. The facility will be a multi-user tool for research and training in nanostructured material at the UAB. The instrument will help establish five new research initiatives at UAB. This instrument development project will complement an existing NSF-Supported REU -site.This award from the Major Research Instrumentation program to the University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) is for the development of a multipurpose laser deposition facility for research and education in nanostructured materials.
