小行星9531743 该研究项目旨在了解化学梯度铬氧碳氮化物薄膜的局部变化对薄膜性能的影响。 这项赠款由GOALI倡议支持，是宾夕法尼亚大学和杜邦公司研究人员之间的合作成果。 它计划使用精确的和良好的表征样品组成的变化，以关联电子结构，电荷密度，介电性能和光学性能。 提出的主要实验研究工具是扫描隧道和光学光谱沿着与更多的标准表征方法（西姆斯，RBS，EDS等）。 该项目的一个主要目标是获得足够的基础知识，以开发一个模型，在多组分系统中的本地键合性能。 该计划的一个重要特点是研究和教育的整合，为学生提供了一个宝贵的机会，在大学和工业研究环境中进行基础材料科学研究。 学生将接受邦内尔教授/宾夕法尼亚大学和法国博士/杜邦公司的联合指导。 将建立一个计算机网络连接，使任何一个地点的实验数据和模型都能在另一个地点获得;该网络还将包括一个信息交流公告板。 该项目代表了学术界和工业界之间强大的研究联盟，同时通过在一个基础和技术重要领域培训学生，为教育和研究的一体化提供了一个有吸引力的安排。 ***

9531743 Bonnell This research project seeks to understand the effects of local variations in chemically graded Cr-oxycarbonitride films on film properties. This grant, which is supported under the GOALI initiative, is a collaborative effort between researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and DuPont. It is planned to use precise and well characterized variations in sample composition to correlate electronic structure, charge density, dielectric properties, and optical properties. The principal experimental research tools proposed are scanning tunneling and optical spectroscopies along with more standard characterization methods (SIMS, RBS, EDS, etc.). A major goal of the project is to achieve sufficient fundamental knowledge to develop a model relating local bonding to properties in multicomponent systems. %%% An important feature of the program is the integration of research and education by provision of an invaluable opportunity for students to conduct fundamental materials science research in both University and Industrial research environments. The students will receive joint mentoring by Prof.Bonnell/University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. French/DuPont. A computer network connection will be established to allow experimental data and modeling at either location to be accessed at the other; the network will also include a bulletin board for information exchange. The project represents a strong research alliance between academia and industry, and at the same time provides an attractive arrangement for integration of education and research through the training of students in a fundamentally and technologically significant area. ***
