Equipment for Advanced Surface Analysis

用于高级表面分析的设备： 该项目旨在建立先进的表面分析设备，为澳大利亚研究人员提供表面科学方面的尖端能力。重要的化学反应和物理反应经常发生在表面。要了解这些反应，需要分析表面和近表面区域的组成和电子结构。中性碰撞离子散射谱和逆光电子能谱测量了样品的浓度、深度分布和电子结构。剖面的深度分辨率大约是固体或液体中两个相邻原子之间的距离，是目前可以达到的最好水平。提供这些能力的设备预计将支持在光伏、催化、胶体表面和界面、涂层和纳米复合材料方面的应用研究。

Equipment for advanced surface analysis: This project aims to establish equipment for advanced surface analysis to provide Australian researchers with cutting-edge capabilities in surface science. Vital chemical and physical reactions often occur at surfaces. Understanding these reactions requires analysis of the composition and electronic structure of the surface and near-surface regions. Neutral impact collision ion scattering spectroscopy and inverse photoemission spectroscopy measure concentration depth profiles and electronic structure. The depth resolution of the profiles is in the order of the distance between two neighbouring atoms in a solid or liquid and is the best currently achievable. The equipment providing these capabilities is expected to support research with applications in photovoltaics, catalysis, colloid surfaces and interfaces, coatings and nanocomposites.
