UV-Vis-NIR spectrofluorometer with integrating sphere

我们寻求资金来获得一个荧光光谱仪，以研究新的先进材料和设备在紫外，可见和近红外光谱区域的发光特性。使麦吉尔大学的仪器独一无二的两个关键特征是近红外区域的覆盖和测量绝对发光量子产率的能力（在积分球中）。后者能够定量表征固体和非均匀材料以及（电致发光）器件的发射特性。此外，这两个特点的结合在魁北克是独一无二的。该仪器将成为一个部门的设备，由四个共同申请者和麦吉尔化学和魁北克自组装化学结构中心的其他成员组成的研究小组广泛使用。它将继续为每年培训100 - 30名学生做出贡献。

We seek funding to acquire a spectrofluorometer to study luminescent properties of new advanced materials and devices in the UV, Vis and near-IR spectral region. The two key features which make the instrument unique for McGill University are coverage of the near-IR region and ability to measure absolute luminescence quantum yields (in the integrating sphere). The latter enables QUANTITATIVE characterization of the emissive properties of solid and inhomogeneous materials as well as (electroluminescent) devices. Furthermore, the combination of these two features in unique in Quebec. The instrument will become a departmental facility, used extensively by research groups of four co-applicants and other members of McGill chemistry and Quebec Center for Self-Assembled Chemical Structures. It will continuously contribute to training of >30 students each year.
