The curriculum of the Chemistry Department is improved by introducing a new set of material-science experiments in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) into the Physical Chemistry laboratory thereby significantly enhancing the education and training of graduates. Materials science, a relatively new, very important, and rapidly developing interdisciplinary field of science remains, for the most part, unexplored at the undergraduate level of instruction at this and most other institutions. Recent developments make STM and AFM affordable and accessible to the undergraduate laboratory and thereby provide the department with a straightforward method for teaching the fundamentally important concept of quantum mechanical tunneling and related STM and AFM technologies of piezoelectric positioning, vibration isolation, etc. This new set of experiments is incorporated in the Physical Chemistry laboratory, a gateway course for undergraduate chemistry majors. The curriculum also includes an American Chemical Society certified option in materials science. This equipment is the cornerstone of a materials science laboratory within the Chemistry Department. These courses can eventually support the university's materials program in the Mechanical Engineering Department. *

通过在物理化学实验室引入一套新的扫描隧道显微镜（STM）和原子力显微镜（AFM）材料科学实验，改进了化学系的课程，从而显着加强了毕业生的教育和培训。 材料科学是一个相对较新、非常重要且快速发展的跨学科科学领域，该领域和大多数其他机构的本科教学水平在很大程度上仍未得到探索。 最近的发展使本科生实验室能够负担得起并使用 STM 和 AFM，从而为该系提供了一种简单的方法来教授量子力学隧道效应的基本重要概念以及相关的压电定位、振动隔离等 STM 和 AFM 技术。实验被纳入物理化学实验室，这是本科化学专业的入门课程。 该课程还包括美国化学会认证的材料科学选项。 该设备是化学系材料科学实验室的基石。 这些课程最终可以支持大学机械工程系的材料项目。 *
