Materials Research Science and Engineering Center

9400372比斯利斯坦福大学材料研究科学与工程中心(MRSEC)被称为材料研究中心(CMR)，支持广泛的材料科学领域的研究，重点是通过共享设施为斯坦福大学及其周围的材料社区(包括工业)提供支持。该研究计划由三个跨学科研究小组组成。超导材料研究小组的研究人员希望对包括高温超导体在内的过渡金属氧化物的行为有广泛的了解。研究人员的目标是为可能的电子应用扩大此类材料的选择范围，并探索可能的新设备概念。研究氧化物表面结构和反应性的小组专注于与多相催化和环境地球化学相关的材料。磁学小组调查与数据存储行业中使用磁性薄膜相关的材料问题。它的最初目标是理解巨磁电阻、薄膜的磁各向异性和磁性薄膜的光学克尔旋转这三个相关的现象。该中心支持材料研究共享实验设施的开发、运营和维护。它为探索性研究提供种子资金，并促进本科生参与研究。这个MRSEC与一个教育推广计划相关联，重点是吸引和留住材料科学领域的女性和代表性不足的少数族裔，并发起了一个夏季科学推广计划，主要面向少数族裔高中生。该中心管理着一个工业外展计划。它目前支持约20名教职员工、5名博士后研究助理、4名技术人员、24名研究生和10名本科生。这个MRSEC由马尔科姆·R·比斯利教授执导。***

9400372 Beasley The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) known as the Center for Materials Research (CMR) at Stanford University supports research over a wide area of materials science, with a strong emphasis on providing support through shared facilities for the materials community at and around Stanford University, including industry. The research program is organized in three interdisciplinary research groups. Investigators in the group concerned with superconducting materials seek a broad understanding of the behavior of transition metal oxides, including high temperature superconductors. Researchers aim to extend the selection of such materials for possible electronic application and explore possible new device concepts. The group investigating structure and reactivity of oxide surfaces focuses on materials relevant for heterogeneous catalysis and environmental geochemistry. The magnetics group investigates materials problems related to the use of magnetic thin films in the data storage industry. Its initial goal is to understand the three related phenomena of giant magnetoresistance, magnetic anisotropy in thin films, and optical Kerr rotation in magnetic thin films. The center supports the development, operation and maintenance of shared experimental facilities for materials research. It provides seed funding for exploratory research and fosters research participation by undergraduates. This MRSEC is associated with an educational outreach program with emphasis on attracting and retaining women and underrepresented minorities in materials science and has initiated a summer science outreach program to predominantly minority high school students. The center administers an industrial outreach program. It currently supports about 20 faculty, 5 postdoctoral research associates, 4 technical staff member, 24 graduate students, and 10 undergraduates. This MRSEC is directed by Professor Malcolm R. Beasley. ***
