US-Czech Joint Fund Research on Intensities in Vibrational and Electronic Energy Loss Spectroscopy

这项由捷克科学院Heyrovsky物理化学和电化学研究所的peter Carsky博士和科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的Josef Michl博士共同发起的美捷联合基金研究项目的主要目标是：是研究各种分子的振动和电子能量损失谱（EELS）的强度。美方将提供实验数据和计算设备；捷克方面将提供基础理论和从头算程序开发方面的专业知识。结果将对包括双原子和碳氢化合物（如苯）在内的分子的电子结构产生重要的见解。这项理论化学研究通过使美国和捷克共和国的领先专家结合互补的人才和集中研究资源，在共同感兴趣和有能力的领域，实现了推进科学知识的计划目标。该项目的资金由设在布拉格的美国-捷克联合基金按照既定准则发放。

The primary objective of this US-Czech Joint Fund research project between Dr. Petr Carsky, Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry, Czech Academy of Sciences, and Dr. Josef Michl, University of Colorado-Boulder, is to study intensities in vibrational and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) of a variety of molecules. The US side will contribute experimental data and computing facilities; the Czech side will provide expertise in fundamental theory and ab initio program development. Results should yield important insights into the electronic structures of molecules including diatomics and such hydrocarbons as benzene. This research in theoretical chemistry fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the U.S. and Czech Republic to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. Funds for the project are awarded through the US-Czech Joint Fund, Prague, in accordance with established guidelines.
