Acquisition of a High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope for Nanomaterials Research and Education

该奖项来自主要研究仪器项目，支持韦恩州立大学获得一台200千伏透射电子显微镜，用于该机构的跨学科材料研究和教育。该仪器将广泛地为校园研究人员所使用，并将被用作许多nsf资助的纳米材料研究项目的中心分析工具，这些项目包括化学系、工程系、物理系和制造研究所。该仪器将支持的研究领域包括离散纳米粒子合成、纳米结构设计以及材料加工和制造。该仪器将影响固态物理、材料科学、电气工程、化学和医学等领域。所有的主要研究人员目前都由NSF（和其他）资助。此外，该仪器将成为培养和教育本科生和研究生以及博士后研究人员的重要资源。最后，该仪器将为当地的高科技创业公司和工业提供便利，并将在密歇根州东南部的经济发展和创造新的就业机会方面发挥关键作用。该奖项来自主要研究仪器项目，支持韦恩州立大学获得用于跨学科材料研究和教育的透射电子显微镜。在韦恩州立大学进行的许多研究项目中，需要使用电子显微镜来可视化纳米级材料。该仪器将广泛用于校园研究人员，并将被用作许多nsf资助的纳米材料研究项目的中心分析工具，这些项目由化学系、工程系、物理系和制造研究所资助。此外，该仪器将成为我们的本科生和研究生以及博士后研究人员的培训和教育的重要资源。最后，该仪器将为当地的高科技创业公司和工业提供便利，并将在密歇根州东南部的经济发展和创造新的就业机会方面发挥关键作用。

This award from the Major Research Instrumentation program supports Wayne State University with the acquisition of a 200 kV Transmission Electron Microscope for interdisciplinary materials research and education at the institution. The proposed instrument will have wide accessibility to campus researchers and will be used as a central analytical tool for many NSF-funded nanomaterials research projects in the departments of Chemistry, Engineering, and Physics and the Institute for Manufacturing Research. Research areas that will be supported by the proposed instrument include discrete nanoparticle synthesis, nanostructure by design, and materials processing and manufacturing. The instrument will impact areas as diverse as solid state physics, materials science, electrical engineering, chemistry, and medical science. All of the Principal Investigators are currently supported by NSF (and other) grants. Furthermore, this instrument will be an important resource for the training and education of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdoctoral researchers. Finally, this instrument will be accessible to local high technology startup companies and industry, and should play a key role in economic development and new job creation in southeast Michigan.This award from the Major Research Instrumentation program supports Wayne State University with the acquisition of a transmission electron microscope for interdisciplinary materials research and education. An electron microscope is required to allow visualization of nanometer-sized materials that are prepared in many research projects that are being conducted at Wayne State University.
