The University of York proposes to purchase the following items of core capital equipment through this strategic investment:An inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). This equipment will add research capability to the University and support collaborative research across the Department of Chemistry, School of Physics, Engineering and Technology and Department of Biology. This instrument will provide critical quantitative elemental composition information of solutions, molecules and materials at part per billion concentrations and above. This will support a number of multi-disciplinary collaborative projects including interrogating metal complexes and materials used in chemical synthesis, catalysis, metal waste recycling including batteries, and metal nanoparticle magnetism, diagnostics and therapeutics. The high sensitivity of ICP-OES also supports work to characterise and understand systems requiring trace metal analysis including metallomics.A domed hot stage (Anton Paar DHS 1100) for x-ray diffraction (XRD) and reflectivity (XRR) studies. The requested hot stage will allow in-situ heating of samples up to 1100oC whilst simultaneously measuring XRD and XRR. This in-situ thermal observation capability will provide additional unique information such as temperature-dependent phase transformations, thermal changes of structural parameters, unveil reaction kinetics, intermediate phases, or high-temperature phases that decompose at lower temperatures, all of which are highly relevant in industrial processes. It will be used across the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology and our Department of Chemistry in projects including analysis of magnetic tunnel junctions within commercial spintronic and magnetic devices and analysis of materials for solar cells.A multi-parameter circular dichroism spectrophotometer. Not only will this equipment add much needed dedicated capacity for our engineering and physical sciences (EPS) researchers, but it will also have enhanced capability specific to EPS experimental requirements such as an extended wavelength detection range (160-1600 nm) to study energy-efficient processes that are only revealed at longer wavelengths. This instrument will support researchers across Organic, Inorganic, Physical and Molecular Materials groups in our Department of Chemistry, the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology, the Centre for Energy Efficient Materials and the York-JEOL Nanocentre with projects in areas such as liquid crystals, helical semiconductors, self-healing 3D printable gels and 'shape-shifting' polymers.

约克大学拟通过本次战略投资购买以下核心资本设备：一台电感耦合等离子体发射光谱仪（ICP-OES）。该设备将为大学增加研究能力，并支持化学系、物理、工程与技术学院和生物系的合作研究。该仪器将提供浓度为十亿分之一及以上的溶液、分子和材料的关键定量元素成分信息。这将支持许多多学科合作项目，包括研究化学合成、催化、金属废物回收（包括电池）以及金属纳米颗粒磁性、诊断和治疗中使用的金属配合物和材料。 ICP-OES 的高灵敏度还支持表征和了解需要痕量金属分析（包括金属组学）的系统。用于 X 射线衍射 (XRD) 和反射率 (XRR) 研究的圆顶热台 (安东帕 DHS 1100)。所需的热台可将样品原位加热至 1100oC，同时测量 XRD 和 XRR。这种原位热观测能力将提供额外的独特信息，例如温度相关的相变、结构参数的热变化、揭示反应动力学、中间相或在较低温度下分解的高温相，所有这些都高度相关在工业过程中。它将在物理、工程与技术学院和化学系的项目中使用，包括商业自旋电子和磁性器件中磁隧道结的分析以及太阳能电池材料的分析。多参数圆二色分光光度计。该设备不仅将为我们的工程和物理科学 (EPS) 研究人员增加急需的专用能力，而且还将具有针对 EPS 实验要求的增强功能，例如扩展的波长检测范围 (160-1600 nm)，以研究能量-仅在较长波长下才能揭示的高效过程。该仪器将为我们化学系、物理、工程与技术学院、节能材料中心和 York-JEOL 纳米中心的有机、无机、物理和分子材料小组的研究人员提供液晶等领域的项目支持、螺旋半导体、自修复 3D 打印凝胶和“变形”聚合物。
