MRI/RUI: Acquisition of Laser Instrumentation for Undergraduate Research and Teaching

圣地亚哥大学化学系将获得主要研究仪器(MRI)项目颁发的这一奖项，为本科生研究提供激光仪器。该设备将加强以下领域的研究：a)新的稀土络合物的光物理性质；b)各种原子、分子和等离子体相系统的基本光谱；以及c)关于水上运动的研究。该仪器将把基于激光的技术引入化学、物理和海洋科学专业的本科教育(教学和研究)和海洋科学研究生。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of San Diego will acquire laser instrumentation for undergraduate research. This equipment will enhance research in the following areas: a) the photo-physical properties of new lanthanide complexes; b) fundamental spectroscopy of various atomic and molecular and plasma phase systems; and c) research on aquatic locomotion. This instrumentation will bring laser based techniques into the undergraduate education (both teaching and research) of Chemistry, Physics, and Marine Science majors and Marine Science graduate students.
