Non-Technical Description:A scanning probe microscope (SPM) is a scientific instrument that uses a sharp probe to measure surface and interface properties in nanometer and sub-nanometer spatial resolution. The SPM system acquired through this Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) award has significant impact on the research, education, and training infrastructure at Rowan University and its surrounding area in southern New Jersey. First, this instrument enables collaborative materials research among faculty members, undergraduate and graduate students, and regional industrial participants to conduct ground-breaking research. It allows the establishment of inter- and intra-institutional research collaborations. Second, this instrument helps grow several programs, such as the Materials Science & Engineering program, by providing ample opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students to work on their research projects, coursework, or thesis projects, directly impacting the training of a technical workforce for the region. Third, this instrument is used by many researchers including women and underrepresented minority faculty and students through established university and college programs. This provides better experience, stronger training, and more opportunities for researchers from groups typically underrepresented in science and engineering. Finally, this instrument serves the local needs in advanced materials research and training, resulting in increased interactions with local industries and stronger impact on the economic growth in the region.Technical Description:The acquired SPM system combines ultrahigh-resolution imaging, nanoelectrical measurement, nanomechanical characterization, and nanoelectrochemical analysis for the research of various material systems in air, fluid, electrical field, or chemically reactive environment. With these advanced features, the instrument enables research projects in five key research areas: (1) surface morphology and nanomaterials research; (2) functional materials, flexible electronics and sensors; (3) electrochemistry, energy materials and devices, and protective coatings; (4) biological and biomedical materials, life sciences; and (5) additive manufacturing, construction and structural materials.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

非技术描述：扫描探针显微镜（SPM）是一种科学仪器，它使用尖锐的探针在纳米和亚纳米空间分辨率中测量表面和界面性能。通过该重大研究工具（MRI）奖获得的SPM系统对罗恩大学及其新泽西州南部的周边地区的研究，教育和培训基础设施产生了重大影响。首先，该工具可以使教职员工，本科生和研究生以及区域工业参与者之间的合作材料研究能够进行开创性的研究。它允许建立内部和机构内部的研究合作。其次，该工具通过为本科生和研究生提供了足够的机会来从事研究项目，课程或论文项目，从而直接影响该地区的技术劳动力培训，从而有助于发展多个计划，例如材料科学与工程计划。第三，通过既定的大学和大学课程，包括妇女和代表性不足的少数族裔教师和学生在内的许多研究人员使用该工具。这为科学和工程中通常不足的小组的研究人员提供了更好的经验，更强的培训以及更多的机会。最后，该仪器在先进的材料研究和培训中满足了当地需求，从而增加了与当地行业的相互作用，并对该地区的经济增长进行了更大的影响。技术描述：获得的SPM系统结合了超高分辨率成像，纳米机械测量，纳米力学，纳米力学表征以及纳米电流的纳米机械表征以及各种材料的化学材料系统，均无动地进行电动，而纳米电子的分析。借助这些高级功能，该仪器可以在五个关键的研究领域中实现研究项目：（1）表面形态和纳米材料研究； （2）功能材料，柔性电子和传感器； （3）电化学，能源材料和设备以及保护涂层； （4）生物和生物医学材料，生命科学； （5）增材制造，建筑和结构材料。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估值得支持的。
