Small- and Wide-angle X-ray Scattering to Probe Functional Organic Materials
Abstract
This proposal seeks to support acquisition of a state-of-the-art small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering instrument for morphological, characterization of functional organic materials, with control over a variety of environmental conditions including temperature, ap,plied mechanical force, and optical illumination. These capabilities will substantially accelerate the pace of fundamental discovery, on several active projects supported by the Office of Naval Research, as well as several other Department of Defense supported rese,arch projects. ONR supported research includes three projects focused on understanding relationships between molecular structure, se,lf-assembled nanostructure, processing conditions, and performance of organic photovoltaic devices, as well as one project that seek,s to develop new classes of light responsive materials that efficiently convert photon energy into mechanical work. In addition, th,e proposed facility will significantly contribute to the progress of numerous additional research efforts at the University of Color,ado Boulder and the education of an interdisciplinary scientific workforce in materials science and engineering.
