MRI: Acquisition of a Fourier Transform Raman & Infrared Spectrometer for Materials Research and Education in South Carolina

这笔拨款支持采购布鲁克IFS 66v/S傅立叶变换（FT）拉曼和红外（IR）光谱仪。该仪器的光学平台具有快速傅立叶变换、拉曼光谱、红外光谱（远红外到近可见光）和光致发光测量能力。该仪器配置用于微米级样品的光谱分析，借助Ramanscope和IR示波器附件。FT拉曼光谱仪和红外光谱仪将协助目前在碳纳米管、热电学、光子学和生物材料方面的研究活动。该仪器将用于增强在克莱姆森大学学习光谱学课程的学生的实验室经验。拉曼光谱和红外光谱是振动光谱的两种形式，它们产生化学物质的互补信息。这两种方法都广泛应用于材料、物理、化学和生物科学。该仪器通过提供设备齐全的跨学科学习设施，为南卡罗来纳州的教学机构带来了独特的研究能力，该设施将用于培训本科生和研究生使用下一代设备进行材料研究。它将促进从事跨学科研究领域的教员之间的联合研究项目。

This grant supports the acquisition of a BRUKER IFS 66v/S Fourier Transform (FT) Raman and Infrared (IR) spectrometer. The optics bench of the instrument has rapid FT Raman, FTIR (far IR to near visible) and photoluminescence measurement capabilities. This instrument is configured for spectral analysis of micron-sized samples with the help of the Ramanscope and IR scope attachments. The FT Raman and IR spectrometer will assist current research activities on carbon nanotubes, thermoelectrics, photonics and biomaterials. The instrument will be used to enhance laboratory experience to students enrolled in spectroscopy courses taught at Clemson University. Raman and infrared are two forms of vibrational spectroscopy that yield complementary information of chemical substances. Both of these are used extensively in materials, physics, chemistry and biological sciences. The instrument brings unique research capabilities to teaching institutions in South Carolina by providing a well-equipped, interdisciplinary learning facility that will be used to train undergraduate and graduate students in the use of next generation equipment for materials research. It will facilitate joint research projects between faculty members engaged in interdisciplinary research fields.
