Acquisition of a High Resolution X-Ray Diffractometer

在化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的支持下，位于尤金的俄勒冈大学化学系将获得一台x射线衍射仪。该设备将加强许多领域的研究，包括：a)发展新型多层亚稳固体合成；B)具有非线性光学性质的金属有机多层膜的表征；C)测定金纳米颗粒的结构和尺寸分布；D)无机半导体|共轭聚合物界面的制备与表征；E)利用非水溶剂的盐分解反应低温合成新型氧化物材料；f)新型金属二硫族化物超晶格的合成与表征。x射线衍射仪可以精确测量分子的完整三维结构，包括键的距离和角度，并提供分子相对于邻近分子的空间排列的准确信息。这些研究将导致对电子和光学工业重要的新材料的发展。

With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oregon in Eugene will acquire an X-ray diffractometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: a) development of novel multilayer synthesis of metastable solids; b) characterization of metal-organic multilayers with nonlinear optical properties; c) determination of the structure and size distribution of gold nanoparticles; d) preparation and characterization of inorganic semiconductor | conjugated polymer interfaces; e) low temperature synthesis of new oxide materials using salt metathesis reactions from non-aqueous solvents; and f) synthesis and characterization of novel metal dichalcogenide superlattices.The X-ray diffractometer allows accurate and precise measurements of the full three dimensional structure of a molecule, including bond distances and angles, and it provides accurate information about the spatial arrangement of the molecule relative to the neighboring molecules. These studies will lead to the development of novel materials important to the electronics and optics industries.
