U.S.-Australia Cooperative Research on the Spectroscopy and Dynamics of Halocarbon Degradation Processes

该奖项支持韦恩州立大学的约瑟夫·弗朗西斯科教授和麻省理工学院的杰弗里·斯坦菲尔德教授以及研究生访问澳大利亚昆士兰州布里斯班的格里菲斯大学，与艾伦·e·w·奈特教授合作。阿德莱德大学的Keith D. King和弗林德斯大学的Warren D. Lawrence，就卤化碳降解过程的光谱学和动力学进行了研究。简单含硅分子的反应对于理解发生在硅表面的沉积和蚀刻过程至关重要，这些过程广泛应用于电子和光伏技术。在这个合作研究项目中，美国和澳大利亚三所大学研究实验室的互补实验和技术专长已被用于阐明这一问题。在美国-澳大利亚合作项目的支持下，研究生在相关研究小组之间进行了为期三至六个月的交换，并于1990年6月举行了为期三天的研讨会，主要研究人员和初级研究人员参加了研讨会。1990年6月1日至4日，在新南威尔士州拜伦湾举行了一个关于“激光在分子动力学和分子结构分析中的应用”的研讨会，其中包括来自美国和澳大利亚团体的15名参与者的演讲。

This award supports visits by Professors Joseph S. Francisco of Wayne State University and Jeffrey I. Steinfeld of M.I.T., along with graduate students, to Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, to work with Professors Alan E.W. Knight, Keith D. King of the University of Adelaide and Warren D. Lawrence of The Flinders University, on the spectroscopy and dynamics of halocarbon degradation processes. The reactions of simple silicon-containing molecules are of key importance in understanding deposition and etching processes taking place at silicon surfaces, which are widely used in electronics and photovoltaic technology. In this cooperative research program, the complementary experimental and technical expertise of three university research laboratories in the U.S. and Australia has been brought to bear on elucidating this problem. With support from the U.S.-Australia Cooperative Program, graduate students were exchanged for three- to six-month periods between the research groups involved, and a three-day symposium, including the principal investigators and junior research personnel, took place in June 1990. A workshop on "Laser Applications in Molecular Dynamics and Molecular Structure Analyses" held at Byron Bay, N.S.W., on 1-4 June 1990, included presentations by fifteen participants from the U.S. and Australian groups.
