X-ray Powder Diffraction Study of Fe2O3-Mn2O3 Phase Diagram

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Jarrod Crum
Project type
Exploratory Research
This study will examine phase development, and determine phase boundaries, in the Fe2O3-Mn2O3 binary phase diagram using x-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The…

Stability of Ceria and Other NanoParticles

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Donald Baer
Project type
Exploratory Research
This project examines the stability of Ceria, Titania and other nanoparticles. The particles to be examined will be prepared at the University of Central Florida and those obtained commercially. …

Nano-porous TiO2 Ceramics

Lead Institution
Washington State University
Principal Investigator
Amit Bandyopadhyay
Project type
Exploratory Research
At WSU, we are forming nano-porous TiO2 via anodizing Ti foils in different electrolytes. Our interest is to characterize these films using FESEM to understand the influence of processing variables…

Environmental Sensing, Metabolic Response,Regulatory Network (PNNL 42654, BES)

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
James Fredrickson
Project type
Exploratory Research
HPLC analysis and quanitation of organic acids is a critical tool to track metabolic changes during growth in microbial cultures. Because are own HPLC system has ended it's useful life, Tom…

Johannes Scholten
Project type
Exploratory Research
HPLC analysis and quanitation of organic acids is a critical tool to track metabolic changes during growth in microbial cultures. Because are own HPLC system has ended it's useful life, Tom…

Molecular Modeling

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
M. Mayer-Cumblidge
Project type
Exploratory Research
We are working on the design and synthesis of Arsenic-derivatized dyes and crosslinkers which selectively bind multi-cysteine peptide motifs. These motifs can then be cloned into proteins of…

Purity analyses of DNA

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Nancy Isern
Project type
Exploratory Research

Stand-off sensing

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
James Kelly
Project type
Exploratory Research

Fabrication of Photomasks and Patterned Molds Using Photolithography

Lead Institution
Portland State University
Principal Investigator
Mingdi Yan
Project type
Exploratory Research
Our research at Portland State University focuses on microfabrication and molecular recognition. We are frequent in need of micron-size molds in our research. Due to the lack of microfabrication…

Study of Pattern Formation on the Surface of NiO films

Lead Institution
University of Connecticut
Principal Investigator
Boris Sinkovic
Project type
Exploratory Research
Understanding of the surface structure and morphology of NiO surfaces is becoming increasingly important because of their use in spin-valve geometry of GMR sensors. Thick NiO films (500 Å) have been…

Structure Determination of Cyclic Siloxane

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
David Nelson
Project type
Exploratory Research
A presumed cyclic siloxane has been observed after the synthesis of specific aromatic co-polymers prepared by hydrosilylation techniques. Some synthetic procedures produce up to 50% of the cyclic…
