9975691SchadlerThis award will provide partial support for the acquisition of a micro Raman spectrometer (MRS) for use of applications including: micro-mechanical behavior of materials, tribology, nanotube technology, biomaterials, and microelectronics. Students from materials engineering, mechanical engineering, and biomediacal engineering will be the primary users of the proposed equipment, but it will be available to other users as well. This instrument will provide research capability currently not available at Rensselaer. It will strengthen many current research programs and provide numerous opportunities for developing new programs. The MRS is a state-of-the-art central facility with an order of magnitude faster count times and better spatial resolution than the technology currently available at Rensselaer.The MRS will do more than impact individual projects. It: (1) will contribute to the infrastructure in Rensselaer's developing center of excellence in nano-structured materials; (2) will help advance the field of micromechanical behavior (i.e., MRS is the only technique capable of directly probing the strain in fibers embedded in a polymer composite), and ; (3) will be used for innovation in studying materials for microelectronic applications and tribology, and bone implant materials.MRS is becoming a standard analytical technique, and RPI students in many areas of study need experience in Raman spectroscopy. The facility will be available to our microscopy for undergraduate research projects. The Department also teaches a course in nanostructured materials in a seminar format. Thus, as new developments are uncovered using micro Raman spectroscopy, they will be included in this course through the guest lectures and/or student projects.%%%This is a unique investment which is expected to advance fundamental knowledge, and provide excellent training for students at all levels.***

9975691Schadler 该奖项将为购买微型拉曼光谱仪 (MRS) 提供部分支持，其应用包括：材料的微机械行为、摩擦学、纳米管技术、生物材料和微电子学。 材料工程、机械工程和生物医学工程的学生将是拟议设备的主要用户，但其他用户也可以使用该设备。 该仪器将提供伦斯勒目前不具备的研究能力。它将加强许多当前的研究项目，并为开发新项目提供大量机会。 MRS 是最先进的中央设施，与伦斯勒当前可用的技术相比，计数时间快一个数量级，空间分辨率更好。MRS 的作用不仅仅是影响单个项目。它：（1）将为伦斯勒纳米结构材料卓越开发中心的基础设施做出贡献； (2) 将有助于推进微机械行为领域的发展（即，MRS 是唯一能够直接探测嵌入聚合物复合材料中的纤维应变的技术），并且； (3) 将用于研究微电子应用和摩擦学材料以及骨植入材料的创新。MRS 正在成为一种标准分析技术，RPI 的许多研究领域的学生都需要拉曼光谱方面的经验。 该设施将可供我们的显微镜用于本科生研究项目。 该系还以研讨会的形式教授纳米结构材料课程。 因此，随着使用显微拉曼光谱发现新的发展，它们将通过客座讲座和/或学生项目包含在本课程中。%%%这是一项独特的投资，预计将提高基础知识，并为以下人员提供出色的培训：各个级别的学生。***
