9601839 Almasan A superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer for materials research will be acquired by Kent State University. The instrument will support research on the magnetic properties of high transition temperature superconductors and of liquid crystals. Major research projects that will use the instrument include studies of Josephson coupling of copper oxide bilayers and of the vortex phases in high-temperature superconductors, and of phase transitions and critical points in lyotropic and polymeric liquid crystals. %%% The instrument will benefit a group of young faculty working in one area which routinely involves sensitive magnetometry (superconductivity) and in another area where the application of such technique is just emerging (liquid crystals). Both the principal investigator and main co-investigator in the project are female faculty in physics, a discipline where women are severely underrepresented. The instrument facility will enhance their role model and will help to attract female students to the sciences. ***

小行星9601839 肯特州立大学将购买一台用于材料研究的超导量子干涉装置（SQUID）磁强计。该仪器将支持对高转变温度超导体和液晶的磁性的研究。将使用该仪器的主要研究项目包括研究氧化铜双层的约瑟夫森耦合和高温超导体中的涡旋相，以及溶致液晶和聚合物液晶中的相变和临界点。 该仪器将有利于一组年轻的教师工作在一个领域，经常涉及敏感的磁力（超导），并在另一个领域，这种技术的应用是刚刚出现（液晶）。该项目的主要研究者和主要合作研究者都是物理学系的女教师，这是一个妇女人数严重不足的学科。该仪器设施将增强她们的榜样作用，并有助于吸引女学生学习科学。 ***
