0345908WallaceThis grant supports acquisition of a new, state-of-the-art electron microprobe (EPMA) at the University of Oregon that will be actively used for research programs in geology and related sciences. The instrument will be housed in the Department of Geological Sciences, and it will be included in a group of interdepartmental, shared facilities at the University known as the Center for Advanced Materials Characterization in Oregon (CAMCOR). The capabilities of a new electron microprobe will enhance a broad base of innovative research at the University of Oregon, and its integration into CAMCOR will allow the PIs and other scientists to expand their research into creative interdisciplinary areas. The new microprobe will be used primarily for research in Geology, Chemistry, Materials Research and Archaeology that includes igneous petrology, volcanology, ore deposits, paleosols and paleoclimate, chemical kinetics, thin film structures, semiconductors, and the provenance of prehistoric artifacts. The improved capabilities of this instrument will enable a number of technical advances for these research programs. The new electron microprobe facility will also play a critical role in research training and education at the undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral levels in Geology and related sciences at the University of Oregon. It will be particularly used by volcanology and petrology graduate students in Geology and by Masters internship program students in Materials Science who are pursing careers in semiconductor processing. As with other CAMCOR facilities, the new instrument will be available for use by researchers at other educational institutions throughout the Pacific Northwest. To maintain the CAMCOR facilities, the University of Oregon has committed significant funds to provide long-term technical support for all CAMCOR instruments. ***

0345908Wallacethis赠款支持俄勒冈大学的新的，最先进的电子微型探针（EPMA），该公司将积极用于地质及相关科学研究计划。该仪器将安置在地质科学系中，并将其包括在俄勒冈州高级材料中心（CAMCOR）的大学间部门的共享设施中。 新电子微探针的能力将在俄勒冈大学增强广泛的创新研究基础，其整合到CAMCOR将使PIS和其他科学家能够将其研究扩展到创造性的跨学科领域。 新的微型探针将主要用于地质，化学，材料研究和考古研究，包括火成岩，火山学，矿石沉积物，古溶质和古气候，化学动力学，薄膜结构，半导体，半导体以及史前文物的来源。该工具的提高功能将为这些研究计划提供许多技术进步。新的电子微探针设施还将在俄勒冈大学的地质和相关科学的本科，研究生和博士后水平的研究培训和教育中发挥关键作用。地质学和岩石学研究生以及材料科学领域的硕士实习计划专业的研究生将特别使用它，这些学生正在从事半导体处理中的职业。 与其他CAMCOR设施一样，新工具将在整个太平洋西北地区的其他教育机构的研究人员使用。为了维护CAMCOR设施，俄勒冈大学已投入大量资金，为所有CAMCOR工具提供长期技术支持。 ***
