MRI: Acquisition of a Pulsed Laser System for Quantum Dots and Thin Films Research and Education

北卡罗来纳中央大学将获得最先进的脉冲激光沉积（PLD）系统。该系统将通过增加制备这些纳米结构的能力，大大加强量子点和多结薄膜的研究和制造。它为纳米结构的制备和表征提供了新的能力。该系统将补充该机构现有的能力，如拉曼光谱、光致发光（PL）、深能级瞬态光谱（DLTS）、原子力显微镜（AFM）、热激发电流（TSC）、霍尔效应和FTIR方法。该仪器还将用于光学和纳米技术的高级研究和培训教员和博士后。它将有助于将更多的北电大学本科生投入到纳米科学的培训和研究中，培养出更高的智力水平的学生。该仪器将有助于提高本校多学科科学课程的竞争力，并改善师生的生活条件。PLD系统将开放与其他HBCU的协作使用。该奖项将帮助中大扩大对非裔美国研究生和本科生的培训。北卡罗来纳中央大学将获得最先进的脉冲激光沉积（PLD）系统。该系统将通过增加制备这些纳米结构的能力，大大加强量子点和多结薄膜的研究和制造。它为纳米结构的制备和表征提供了新的能力。该系统将补充该机构现有的能力，如拉曼光谱、光致发光（PL）、深能级瞬态光谱（DLTS）、原子力显微镜（AFM）、热激发电流（TSC）、霍尔效应和FTIR方法。该仪器还将用于光学和纳米技术的高级研究和培训教员和博士后。它将有助于将更多的北电大学本科生投入到纳米科学的培训和研究中，培养出更高的智力水平的学生。该仪器将有助于提高本校多学科科学课程的竞争力，并改善师生的生活条件。PLD系统将开放与其他HBCU的协作使用。该奖项将帮助中大扩大对非裔美国研究生和本科生的培训。

North Carolina Central University will acquire a state of the art pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system. The system will significantly enhance research and fabrication of quantum dots and multi-junction thin films by adding the capability to prepare these nanostructures. It brings a new capability for nanostructure fabrication and characterization at NCCU. The system will complement existing capability at the institution such as Raman spectroscopy, Photoluminescence (PL), Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Thermo Stimulated Current (TSC), Hall effect, and FTIR methods. The instrument will also be used for the advanced research and training of faculty members and postdoctoral students in optics and nanotechnology. It will contribute to bring more NCCU undergraduates into nanoscience training and research and produce students with higher intellectual capacity. The instrument will contribute to enhance the competitiveness of multidisciplinary science programs at NCCU and improve conditions for the faculty and student. The PLD system will be open for collaborative use with other HBCU's. The award will help NCCU expand its training for African American graduate and undergraduate students.%%%North Carolina Central University will acquire a state of the art pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system.
