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

美国-捷克联合基金研究项目的主要目标是，捷克科学院海罗夫斯基物理化学和电化学研究所的Petr Carsky博士和科罗拉多-博尔德大学的Josef Michl博士，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施；捷方将提供基础理论和从头算项目开发方面的专业知识。结果应该会对分子的电子结构产生重要的见解，包括硅原子和苯等碳氢化合物。这项理论化学研究通过使美国和捷克的顶尖专家能够将互补的人才结合在一起，并在彼此感兴趣和有能力的领域汇集研究资源，实现了促进科学知识的计划目标。根据既定的指导方针，该项目的资金通过设在布拉格的美国-捷克联合基金发放。

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.
