Acquisition of Surface Analysis Instrumentation

该奖项授予路易斯安那州立大学和农业机械学院（LSU），来自主要研究仪器项目和NSF/EPSCoR项目。该合同支持俄歇（AES）扫描俄歇显微镜（SAM）和高分辨率x射线光电子能谱（ESCA）表面分析系统的组合。这一最先进的系统将使各种新型薄膜/表面材料的高分辨率能量、深度和空间表征达到目前该机构无法达到的水平。该仪器将与现有仪器相结合，并将构成一个集中的校园范围内的材料表征设施的核心。该设施将对南方大学的科学家和学生开放，并将支持几个联邦政府资助的项目。它将大大提高路易斯安那州立大学和南方大学的基础设施，并影响其知名度和竞争力。该奖项授予路易斯安那州立大学和农业机械学院（LSU），来自主要研究仪器项目和NSF/EPSCoR项目。该合同支持俄歇（AES）扫描俄歇显微镜（SAM）和高分辨率x射线光电子能谱（ESCA）表面分析系统的组合。这一最先进的系统将使各种新型薄膜/表面材料的高分辨率能量、深度和空间表征达到目前该机构无法达到的水平。该仪器将与现有仪器相结合，并将构成一个集中的校园范围内的材料表征设施的核心。该设施将对南方大学的科学家和学生开放，并将支持几个联邦政府资助的项目。它将大大提高路易斯安那州立大学和南方大学的基础设施，并影响其知名度和竞争力。

This award to Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College (LSU) is from the Major Research Instrumentation program and the NSF/EPSCoR program. The award supports the acquisition of a combination Auger (AES) scanning Auger microscopy (SAM) and high resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ESCA) surface analysis system. This state of the art system will enable high-resolution energy, depth and spatial characterization of a variety of novel thin-film/surface materials at levels that are currently unavailable at the institution. The instrument will be combined with exiting instrumentation and will constitute the nucleus of a centralized campus-wide Materials Characterization Facility. The facility will be accessible to scientists and students from Southern University, and will support several federally funded projects. It will enhance substantially the infrastructure in and impact the visibility and competitiveness of LSU and Southern University.
