Presidential Faculty Fellow/Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The research project of this Presidential Faculty Fellow is in the general area of analytical and surface chemistry and in the subfield of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. During the two-year tenure of this award, Professor Shaka and his students will utilize innovative magic angle spinning, cross polarization, proton decoupling, and pulse sequence techniques to obtain chemical information from NMR spectra that is characteristic of selected, local regions of samples. This approach to materials characterization has broad applications in such areas as organic solids and polymers, reactions at interfaces, isotopically doped porus materials, layered solids, and materials defects analysis. %%% This Presidential Faculty Fellowship, which subsumes the final two years of Professor Shaka's Presidential Young Investigator Award (CHE-8957560), should significantly assist him in the continuing development of his vital, innovative, and productive program of research and research training.
