Acquisition of Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer with Fracture Stage

Abstract

California State University, Northridge (CSUN) received a grant of $199,500 from the DoD to complement its surface science system at the Materials Science and Engineering Research Center (MSERC). The improvement of our -facilities and capabilities has attracted institutions and industrial partners who are interested in initiating exchange programs and joint research projects for engineering applications. This has greatly enhanced the quality of our educational programs in terms of technical projects and increased funding. These complex technological resources have helped us to remain competitive in a field that is constantly developing new concepts. In this endeavor, a fundamental component to the research was the involvement and education of students, MSER hired promising undergraduate students to work on research that required technical science equipment. Our research objectives included: (1) the investigation of the processing/structure/property relationships in nanoscale materials; (2) the development of accurate models to explain the underlying physical mechanisms responsible.
