Nanotechnology Research Instrumentation in Support of NNIN (2008)

获奖摘要建议书编号：ECCS-0821565获奖者：康奈尔大学代表国家纳米技术基础设施网络标题：纳米技术研究仪器支持NNIN（2008年）该奖项的目的是推进纳米技术研究在电子，微系统，材料科学和生命科学的边界。NNIN设施将获得并提供仪器供国家开放用途：（a）快速深层玻璃蚀刻（密歇根大学）、通过溅射沉积复合氧化物材料（宾夕法尼亚州立大学）、等离子体共振测量（华盛顿大学）和非接触印刷生物&新材料（格鲁吉亚技术）。该方法将使可再生的无机和有机/生物材料沉积和处理，包括新技术的开发，及其表征，这将提供给各国研究人员，他们有可靠的协议和严格的实际使用培训。一系列广泛的研究项目将受益，包括相变现象和有机材料应用的进展，对生命科学现象的理解，以及跨学科边界（包括有机-无机界面）的更广泛应用。（4500个用户，包括650个工业用户），地理多样性，以及NNIN所追求的教育和更广泛的努力。NNIN将开发和提供协议和培训，将在网络上提供，组织以技术为重点的研讨会，利用这些工具，并在具体的本科生研究项目中使用这些工具。

Award AbstractProposal Number: ECCS- 0821565Grantee: Cornell University on behalf of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure NetworkTitle: Nanotechnology Research Instrumentation in Support of NNIN (2008)The objective of this award is to advance nanotechnology research at the boundaries of electronics, microsystems, materials science and life sciences. NNIN facilities will acquire and make available instruments for open national use: (a) rapid deep glass etching (University of Michigan), deposition of complex oxide materials by sputtering (Penn-State University), plasmon resonance measurements (University of Washington) and non-contact printing of biological & novel materials (Georgia Tech).The approach will enable reproducible inorganic and organic/biological materials deposition and processing, including development of new techniques, and their characterization, that will be available to national researchers with reliable protocols and rigorous training for hands-on use. A broad group of research projects will benefit including advances in applications of phase transition phenomena and organic materials, understanding of life science phenomena, and the broader uses across discipline boundaries including organic-inorganic interfaces.The broader impact of this project stems from the large research user population (4500 users including 650 industrial users), geographic diversity, and the educational and broader efforts that NNIN pursues. NNIN will develop and make available protocols and training that will be available on the web, organize technology-focused workshops leveraging the instruments and employ these tools in specific undergraduate research projects.
