Who it works for
A RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY INSTRUMENT, ALONG WITH OTHER MULTIFUNCTIONAL MEASUREMENT CAPABILITIES, HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR PLANETARY EXPLORATION. THE TECHNICAL GOALS OF THE PROPOSED WORK AT HAMPTON UNIVERSITY INCLUDE (1) RESONANCE AND NON-RESONANCE SPONTANEOUS RAMAN SCATTERING AND SURFACE-ENHANCED RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY (SERS) OF SIMULANTS OF PLANETARY MATERIALS; (2) STUDIES OF SERS THROUGH SPECTRAL COUPLING OF EXCITATION AND LOCALIZED SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE BASED ON MONOMER, DIMER, TRIMER, AND MULTIMER CONFIGURATIONS; (3) CHARACTERIZATION OF TIME- AND TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT SERS; (4) ANALYSIS OF STOKES AND ANTI-STOKES RAMAN SCATTERING; AND (5) EXPLORATION OF TIP-ENHANCED RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY (TERS) OF SIMULANTS OF PLANETARY MATERIALS. THE EDUCATIONAL GOALS OF THE PROPOSED WORK INCLUDE (1) TRAINING UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY (URM) UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AND (2) DEVELOPING A PATHWAY FOR HU URM STUDENTS TO THE UVA GRADUATE PROGRAM IN NASA'S PLANETARY EXPLORATION AREA. THIS STATEMENT OF WORK WILL BE CARRIED OUT THROUGH CLOSE COLLABORATIONS WITH SCIENTISTS AT UVA, LASER AND PLASMA TECH, NASA LARC, AND NASA GSFC.
