PI: Sokolov, IgorProposal: 1428919Title: MRI: Acquisition of Raman-AFM-Lifetime System for Materials Research and TrainingSignificanceThe requested system has the ability to collect multiple parameters (using Raman, AFM and optical excitation) from the same area of the sample surface, opening the possibility for a better understanding of surface properties. The system has significant advantages over previous systems, including function-structure studies and uses a smaller amount of laser radiation, thus allowing the study of many organic samples in non-destructive way, and faster acquisition of Raman maps. This new version of confocal imaging Raman spectrometer allows collection of Raman spectra over a sample surface much faster than was previously possible. It opens a window of opportunities for both research and education. In addition to allowing studies of organic samples non-destructively, it will achieve faster acquisition of Raman maps allowing the use of the instrument for real-time demonstrations for students.Technical DescriptionThe state-of-the-art integrated Raman-AFM-Lifetime system by WITec Instruments Corp. (Alpha 300R+ Raman system) consists of three integrated parts: a Confocal Raman imaging spectrometer, an atomic force microscope (AFM), and a time-correlated single photon counter. It allows measuring a unique synergistic combination of material parameters, which makes this instrument a unique platform for a large number of potential applications and users. The instrument, hosted at the School of Engineering of Tufts University, will be used by researchers from multiple department and schools across Tufts University as well as outside researchers, including those from the Greater Boston Area (in which no similar instrument exists). The instrument gives the material and stress specific information (the Raman part), physical parameters (topography, electrical charges, viscoelastic moduli of the sample; the AFM part), and lifetime of optical excitation (the lifetime part). All these parameters are measured at the same location on the sample surface. Furthermore, the AFM part will substantially enhance the spatial resolution of the Raman mapping by using a combination with AFM through the tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). The option of single-photon sensitivity and ability to measure life-time of radiated light allow, for example, not only luminescent life-time mapping but also the separation of true Raman and (sometimes Raman-look) fluorescent signals, which is important for quantitative measurements.

PI：Sokolov，IgorProposa：1428919Title：MRI：收购Raman-Afm-Afm-liftime用于材料研究和培训的系统所请求的系统的能力，可以从样品表面的相同区域收集多个参数（使用拉曼，AFM和光学激发），以使表面属性的可能性更高。该系统比以前的系统具有显着的优势，包括功能结构研究并使用较小的激光辐射，因此可以以非破坏性的方式研究许多有机样品，并更快地获取拉曼地图。这种新版本的共聚焦成像拉曼光谱仪可以比以前更快地在样品表面上收集拉曼光谱。它为研究和教育打开了机会窗口。 In addition to allowing studies of organic samples non-destructively, it will achieve faster acquisition of Raman maps allowing the use of the instrument for real-time demonstrations for students.Technical DescriptionThe state-of-the-art integrated Raman-AFM-Lifetime system by WITec Instruments Corp. (Alpha 300R+ Raman system) consists of three integrated parts: a Confocal Raman imaging spectrometer, an atomic force microscope （AFM）和一个相关的单光子计数器。它允许测量材料参数的独特协同组合，这使该乐器成为大量潜在应用和用户的独特平台。该乐器将在塔夫茨大学工程学院举办，将由塔夫茨大学多个系和外部研究人员（包括大波士顿地区的研究人员）使用（不存在类似工具）的研究人员。该仪器提供了材料和压力的特定信息（拉曼部分），物理参数（地形，电荷，样品的粘弹性模量； AFM部分）和光激发的寿命（寿命部分）。所有这些参数均在样品表面的同一位置进行测量。此外，AFM部分将通过通过尖端增强的拉曼光谱法（TERS）与AFM组合使用AFM来大大增强拉曼映射的空间分辨率。例如，单光子灵敏度和测量辐射光的寿命的能力的选择允许，例如，不仅可以发光寿命映射，而且还可以分离真正的拉曼和（有时是拉曼 - 外观）荧光信号，这对于定量测量很重要。
