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. ***

0345908Wallace 这笔赠款支持在俄勒冈大学购买一种新型、最先进的电子微探针 (EPMA)，该探针将积极用于地质学和相关科学的研究项目。该仪器将安置在地质科学系，并将纳入该大学的一组跨部门共享设施，即俄勒冈州先进材料表征中心 (CAMCOR)。 新型电子微探针的功能将增强俄勒冈大学广泛的创新研究基础，其与 CAMCOR 的集成将使 PI 和其他科学家能够将他们的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学、化学、材料研究和考古学研究，包括火成岩学、火山学、矿床、古土壤和古气候、化学动力学、薄膜结构、半导体和史前文物的来源。该仪器的改进功能将为这些研究项目带来许多技术进步。新的电子微探针设施还将在俄勒冈大学地质学及相关科学的本科生、研究生和博士后水平的研究培训和教育中发挥关键作用。它将特别供地质学火山学和岩石学研究生以及正在从事半导体加工职业的材料科学硕士实习项目学生使用。 与其他 CAMCOR 设施一样，该新仪器将可供太平洋西北地区其他教育机构的研究人员使用。为了维护 CAMCOR 设施，俄勒冈大学投入了大量资金，为所有 CAMCOR 仪器提供长期技术支持。 ***
