In-situ integrating sphere apparatus for quantitative analysis of heterogeneous surfaces interacting with photons under controlled environments
Abstract
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. This proposal is for the purchase of a one-of-a-kind apparatus that enables quantitative measurements of extinction, absorption and scattering coefficients for nanoparticles under controlled environmental conditions and electronic transitions localized at adsorbate-nanoparticle interfaces. The P.I., Professor Christopher, of the University of California, Riverside will use the equipment to augment and enhance research capabilities in the area of quantitative analysis of photon driven reactions on metal nanoparticles mediated by photoexcitation of identified electronic transitions localized at adsorbate-nanoparticle interfaces.
