CAREER: Phonon Propagation in Confined Mechanical Geometries

9502046 Kenny这是一个职业奖，强调在微机电结构（MEMS）领域的研究和教育相结合的方面。 特别强调将放在研究计划上，以提高对微观力学性能的理解，并在较宽的温度范围内对受限几何形状中的声子（热）传输和通过孤立微结构的声波传输进行实验。 所采用的材料将是非晶、多晶和单晶微结构。 教学计划将涉及本科和研究生课程的MEMS特别强调一个新的微机械系统课程的发展。 ***

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. ***
