U.S.-Mexico Cooperative Research: Studies of Nanostructured Materials

9503854贡萨尔维斯这一美洲计划奖将支持康涅狄格大学材料科学研究所的Kenneth Gonsalves博士与墨西哥库埃纳瓦卡国立自治大学物理研究所的Ramiro Perez Campos博士开展研究合作。研究人员打算对纳米结构材料的特性进行表征和研究。这些新材料，包括M50型钢，正日益引起北美航空航天和相关行业的兴趣。研究将集中在金属-有机化学的原理和材料加工的概念上。康涅狄格大学的研究人员将侧重于化学加工和固结方面，而UNAM的研究小组将重点研究粉末和固结样品的微观结构特征，通过X射线和电子衍射，以及高分辨率透射电子显微镜的晶格成像。预计康涅狄格大学合成小组和联合国大学显微镜小组的互补努力将加强和促进长期的科学互动。***

9503854 Gonsalves This Americas Program award will support Dr. Kenneth Gonsalves of the Institute of Materials Science of the University of Connecticut in a research collaboration with Dr. Ramiro Perez Campos of the Institute of Physics of the Universidad Autonoma Nacional (UNAM) at Cuernavaca, Mexico. The researchers intend to characterize and investigate the properties of nanostructured materials. These novel materials, which include M50 type steels, are of increasing interest to the aerospace and related industries in North America. The research will focus on the principles of metal-organic chemistry and materials processing concepts. Researchers at the University of Connecticut will emphasize chemical processing and consolidation aspects, while the group at UNAM will focus on the microstructural characterization of powders and consolidated samples via X-ray and electron diffraction, as well as lattice imaging by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. It is expected that the complementary efforts of the synthesis group at the University of Connecticut and the microscopy group at UNAM will strengthen and promote long-term scientific interactions. ***
