Upgrade Computer Facilities for Education and Research

Abstract

The computer facilities purchased in this grant have had an immediate impact in education and research of materials science at Fisk University. The electron spectrometer at the Physics Department is one of the main instruments, 4-6 graduate and 2-4 undergraduate students are regular users. The instrument is also used for student training in the Summer Undergraduate Research Program, and the course "Materials Structures and Characterization Techniques". A total of about 20-25 students in physics, materials science, and chemistry majors use the instrument each year. The research projects at the Surface Science Group include surface and interface physics on wide band-gap semiconductor, chemical sensing materials, and "soft" processed nano-composites, funded by NASA. The instrument is also used for research and student training of the II-VI semiconductors, the optical materials, and the chemical physics groups at the Department. The impact of this project is demonstrated in that the instrumentation are being used for multiple project, groups, teaching and training.
