The objective of this project is to acquire a scanning electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) microprobe to fill a critical gap in surface analysis capabilities and greatly expand research possibilities in surface science, biosensor, nanodevices etc. at Portland State University (PSU) and beyond. The approach is to install such a state-of-the-art surface characterization instrument at the Center for Electron Microscopy and Nanofabrication, a multi-user core research facility at PSU, subsequently offer professional training and research support to internal and external researchers and students as well as technical personnel from high-tech industry, expand existing and develop new courses.The intellectual merit of this project is the unique integration of the scanning ESCA microprobe with a low-surface-damage C60 sputtering source to provide high-resolution surface analysis capabilities, not currently available at the greater Portland Area. It will allow academic researchers and industrial technical personnel to accurately identify the chemical state and composition, band structures and further understand the surface nature of inorganic and organic nanomaterials.The broad impact of this project is that it will significantly 1) Enable research activities in over 18 NSF, DOD, DOE etc. projects totaling over $10M; 2) Expand the scientific impact of planned research proposals; 3) Provide unique opportunities for the interdisciplinary research training and education via existing and newly developed courses and training programs; 4) Facilitate new faculty recruitment and advance junior faculty career development; 5) Increase inter /intra university and industry collaborations with current partners, while stimulating new collaborations with potential partners.

该项目的目的是获取用于化学分析（ESCA）微探针的扫描电子光谱，以填补波特兰州立大学（PSU）及其他地区的表面分析能力的关键空白，并大大扩大了地表科学，生物传感器，纳米台等的研究可能性。这种方法是在电子显微镜和纳米制作中心安装这样的最先进的表面表征工具，PSU的多用户核心研究设施，随后为内部和外部研究人员和学生提供专业的培训和研究支持，以及来自高科技行业的技术人员，并扩大了现有和开发新的项目。 C60溅射源可提供高分辨率的表面分析功能，目前在大波特兰地区尚不可用。它将允许学术研究人员和工业技术人员准确地确定化学状态和组成，带结构，并进一步了解无机和有机纳米材料的表面性质。该项目的广泛影响是它将显着1）在18 NSF，DOD，DOD，DOE等项目中启用研究活动，总计超过1000万美元； 2）扩大计划研究建议的科学影响； 3）通过现有和新开发的课程和培训计划为跨学科研究培训和教育提供独特的机会； 4）促进新的教师招聘并提高初级教师职业发展； 5）增加大学间 /大学内部和工业伙伴的合作，同时刺激与潜在合作伙伴的新合作。
