MRI: Acquisition of Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM)

University Of Arkansas Little Rock, Little Rock AR

Investigators

Abstract

This award from the Major Research Instrumentation program will allow the University of Arkansas to acquire an atomic probe microscope (AFM). The instrument will enhance research capability at the institution. It will be used in research (1)on charging effects on surfaces of individual powder particles and nanoaerosols, (2) in biological specimen analysis, and (3) in surface characterization of thin films. The management plan will allow efficient use of the instrument by faculty and students from several departments at the University of Arkansas. This is an important addition to the infrastructure at the institution.
