This National Science Foundation Young Investigator project is in the general area of analytical chemistry and in the subfield of surface chemistry. During the five-year tenure of this award, Professor Beebe and his students will carry out a fundamental investigation of the structure and reactivity of molecules adsorbed on solid surfaces. Ultrahigh vacuum techniques will be used to study single metal crystals and their reactions with small probe molecules. Scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy are two additional techniques that will be used to study molecule-surface and molecule-molecule interactions of large molecules, such as DNA. %%% The successful attainment of the goals of this project should enable broad advancement in the area of surface chemistry, in general, and the study of molecular interactions on solid surfaces in particular. These studies will lead to increased understanding of the fundamental chemistry of molecules adsorbed on surfaces. Additionally, this NSF Young Investigator Award will significantly assist Professor Beebe to establish a viable, innovative research program at the University of Utah.

该国家科学基金会青年研究员项目属于分析化学的一般领域和表面化学的子领域。 在该奖项的五年任期内，Beebe教授和他的学生将对固体表面吸附分子的结构和反应性进行基础研究。 超高真空技术将用于研究单金属晶体及其与小探针分子的反应。 扫描隧道显微镜和原子力显微镜是另外两种技术，将用于研究 DNA 等大分子的分子-表面和分子-分子相互作用。 %%% 该项目目标的成功实现应该能够促进表面化学领域的广泛进步，特别是固体表面分子相互作用的研究。 这些研究将加深对表面吸附分子基本化学的了解。此外，国家科学基金会青年研究员奖将极大地帮助 Beebe 教授在犹他大学建立一个可行的创新研究项目。
