Strategic Partnership for Research in Nanotechnology

Abstract

Our SPRING III activities concentrated this year on mass spectrometry, a new MALDI system and an ESI-TOF system. We can now perform high resolution nanoparticle analysis along with protein analysis. We consolidated and rehabilitated the Rice X-ray facilities, spending $140K to upgrade the computer controls, software, and adding attachments for temperature control on powder and single crystal systems. An investment toward accessories to the JEOL 200KV FEG Model 2100F include a scanning attachment, coupled with energy filtering (GIF) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer to convert our high-resolution TEM to a fully analytical scanning transmission electron microscope.
