Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
University of Western Ontario
$150,000.00
Raman Spectrometer for Earth and Planetary Materials Research
FY 2014-15
Summary
This RTI grant will support the research programs of several prominent faculty members and their research teams, collaborating across the departments of Earth Science, Chemistry, and Physics and Astronomy, and Surface Science Western (SSW). This equipment will enable cutting-edge new research to be conducted, with a focus on mineral exploration, impact cratering processes and mineral processing. This proposal also establishes a linkage between the unique analytical laboratories of SSW and the Earth and Planetary Materials Analysis (EPMA) Laboratory (http://epma.uwo.ca). The latter was established in 2013 with funding from CFI and ORF and contains Canada's first and only Field Emission Electron Microprobe. Here we propose the acquisition of a confocal raman laser imaging system. It will be housed at Surface Science Western with a full-time dedicated technician, thus ensuring maximum access and usage by the community.
