Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
University of Saskatchewan
$57,146.00
Micro-driller and paranomic diamond anvil cell
FY 2008-09
Summary
The structure and property of materials can be manipulate by the application of pressure. To exploit these novel properties for practical usages, it is mandatory to understand the fundamental behaviour of materials under extreme pressure to establish predictive principles or theories. This grant proposal addresses two important issues, the nature of chemical bonding and electronic properties. These issues will be studied using carefully designed experiments using synchrotron radiation. We request funding to purchase the essential tools to conduct these experiments.
