CAREER: Phonon Propagation in Confined Mechanical Geometries

这是一个职业奖，强调在微机电结构（MEMS）领域的研究和教育的结合方面。特别的重点将放在研究计划，以提高对微力学性能的理解，在广泛的温度范围内进行实验，在受限几何中的声子（热）输运和声波通过孤立的微结构传输。所采用的材料将是非晶、多晶线和单晶微观结构。教学计划将包括MEMS的本科和研究生课程，特别强调开发新的微机械系统课程。＊＊＊

9502046 Kenny This is a CAREER award which emphasizes the combined aspects of research and education in the area of MicroElectroMechanical Structures (MEMS). Particular emphasis will be placed in the research program on an improved understanding of micromechanical properties with experiments conducted over a wide temperature range on phonon (thermal) transport in confined geometries and acoustic wave transmission through isolated microstructures. The materials employed will be amorphous, polycrystal-line and single-crystal microstructures. The teaching program will involve both undergraduate and graduate courses in MEMS with particular emphasis on development of a new micromechanical systems course. ***
