9404687 Trenary This award supports the foreign travel expenses for Dr. Michael Trenary, Chemistry Department at the University of Illinois at Chicago, to spend a year in Japan conducting collaborative research studies on metal boride surfaces with Professor Chuhei Oshima of the Department of Applied Physics at Waseda University in Tokyo. Metal borides are intriguing materials; extremely hard, chemically inert and possessing very high melting points. Many also have unique surface properties making them useful in various applications such as use as an electron emitting cathode in a variety of electron optical devices. Dr. Oshima is a recognized leader in the surface science of rare-earth hexaborides. Dr Trenary and his students have recently conducted a scanning tunneling microscopy study of the atomic structure of a lanthanum hexaboride surface and a mass spectrometric study of oxide evaporation from the oxidized surface. The experiments to be conducted at Waseda University consist of studies of adsorption and dissociation of carbon monoxide, water and hydrogen on the lanthanum hexaboride surface, and the growth and characterization on metal diboride surfaces of graphite-like monolayers containing boron and carbon atoms. The principle technique to be used will be high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. This research work should result in a long term collaborative interaction between the two research groups in Tokyo and Chicago. This award is funded under the auspices of the Center for Global Partnership (CGP) of the Japan Foundation under the NSF-CGP Science Fellowship Program. ***

小行星9404687 该奖项将资助伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校化学系Michael Trenary博士在日本与东京早稻田大学应用物理系大岛中平教授进行为期一年的金属硼化物表面合作研究的国外旅费。 金属硼化物是一种很有吸引力的材料，非常坚硬，化学惰性，熔点很高。许多还具有独特的表面性质，使得它们可用于各种应用，例如用作各种电子光学器件中的电子发射阴极。大岛博士是稀土六硼化物表面科学领域公认的领导者。Trenary博士和他的学生最近对六硼化镧表面的原子结构进行了扫描隧道显微镜研究，并对氧化表面的氧化物蒸发进行了质谱研究。将在早稻田大学进行的实验包括研究一氧化碳、水和氢在六硼化镧表面上的吸附和解离，以及含硼和碳原子的类石墨单层在金属二硼化物表面上的生长和特性。 将使用的主要技术是高分辨率电子能量损失谱。 这项研究工作应导致东京和芝加哥两个研究小组之间的长期合作互动。 该奖项由日本基金会全球伙伴关系中心（CGP）根据NSF-CGP科学奖学金计划资助。 ***
