Polarized Optical Microscope and Scanning Tunneling Microscope for a Hierarchical Material Characterization System.
Abstract
The Defense University Research ln1trumentation 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. The objective of this effort is to purchase a variable temperature polarized optical microscope and scanning tunneling microscope. This proposal is for the purchase of a variable temperature polarized optical microscope and scanning tunneling microscope. The P.I., Professor Adam Braunschweig, of the University of Miami-Coral Gables will use the equipment to augment and enhance capabilities in the area of multi-component donor-acceptor superstructures. Specifically, the polarized optical microscope will be used to analyze the films of the superstructures on the micrometer to millimeter scale and to understand propagation of hierarchical order. The STM will be used to image the superstructures and understand the interactions of components and substrates at the molecular level.
