U.S.-U.K. Cooperative Research: Intercalation of Low Dimensional Solids

这个为期三年的奖项支持圣何塞州立大学的Juana Acrivos和剑桥大学超导跨学科研究中心的W.Y. Liang在固态化学方面的美英合作研究。他们研究的目的是确定如何通过插层控制层固体的电子特性。插层化合物是通过插入各种元素而形成的。这些化合物用于合成低维固体导体和超导体、高性能电池材料、催化剂和固体润滑剂。美国研究人员为此次合作带来了LDS和插层化合物制备方面的专业知识，并通过磁共振技术（NMR）、衍射技术和光谱学评估了它们的性质。这与英国中心在高温超导和新超导体合成方面的大量专业知识相辅相成。在这项工作中，该中心将提供并表征用于插层的晶体。该项目将促进我们对插层的理解，插层是合成新型超导体的一种日益重要、高效和新颖的方法。＊＊＊

9312176 Acrivos This three-year award supports U.S.-U.K. cooperative research in solid state chemistry between Juana Acrivos of San Jose State University and W.Y. Liang of the Interdisciplinary Research Center in Superconductivity, Cambridge University. The objective of their research is to determine how electronic properties of a layer solid are controlled by intercalation. Intercalation compounds are formed by insertion of various elements. These compounds are used in the synthesis of LDS (low dimensional solid) conductors and superconductors, materials for high duty batteries, catalysts, and solid lubricants. The U.S. investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in the preparation of LDS and intercalated compounds and the evaluation of their properties through magnetic resonance techniques (NMR), diffraction techniques and optical spectroscopy. This is complemented by the British Center's considerable expertise in high temperature superconductivity and synthesis of new superconductors. In this effort, the Center will supply and characterize crystals for intercalation. The project will advance our understanding of intercalation, an increasingly important, efficient and novel method for synthesizing new superconductors. ***
