CAREER: Phonon Propagation in Confined Mechanical Geometries

9502046肯尼这是一个职业奖项，它强调在微电子机械结构(MEMS)领域的研究和教育相结合的方面。该研究计划将特别重视通过在宽温度范围内对受限几何形状中的声子(热)传输和声波通过孤立微结构的传播进行实验来提高对微观机械特性的理解。所使用的材料将是非晶态、多晶线和单晶微结构。该教学计划将涉及MEMS的本科生和研究生课程，特别强调开发一门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. ***
