8. Laboratory Development
A. NEW LABORATORY DEVELOPMENT
- Set up a Surface
Spectroscopy facility (AXIS Ultra), which is the latest generation of
X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) Instruments. XPS is used to identify
what atoms are present on the solid surfaces and interfaces and what chemical
bonding states they are in. In this age of composites, nano-materials,
MEMS and multilayer thin-film devices, the surface or interface (seam)
of the solid is often the region that enables or disables a technology.
Therefore, materials students trained on techniques such as this are becoming
very widely sought after. There are several older generation XPS units
available in the Dayton area, but none is even close to this equipment
in spectral and spatial resolution. This laboratory was aired in Channel
7 "Learning Counts" and in "Women In Engineering" shows.
- Plasma
Processing Capability recently added enables controlled surface modification
of engineering materials. This capability is allowing us add a surface
engineering component to our materials course offerings.
B. EXISTING LABORATORY IMPROVEMENT:
Obtained $30,000 from the State of Ohio through the College of Engineering (in partnership with R. Srinivasan). This fund (and small residual amount from other equipment grants) was used to upgrade the existing SEM and EDAX capabilities. This facility is essential for any student training on materials characterization. Currently, our "Metallography" and "Materials Characterization" courses will utilize these capabilities.
