US-India Cooperative Research: Laser and Plasma Deposition and Adhesion of Diamond and Diamondlike Films, Award in Indian and US Currencies

9605181纳拉扬描述：该奖项授予由北卡罗来纳州立大学的Jagish Narayan和坎普尔印度理工学院的S.C.Agrawal领导的美印材料科学合作研究合作。非晶态合金中的激光和等离子体沉积以及金刚石和类金刚石薄膜的粘附会影响和比热将决定金属玻璃的电和磁性能之间的相关性。虽然在顺磁玻璃金属中的电输运的分类和解释方面已经取得了相当大的进展，但非磁性过程以及与非晶磁性合金中的磁性和磁散射过程有关的那些过程的相对重要性还没有完全确定。美国小组一直是研究非磁性非晶合金电子传输和表面化学最活跃的小组之一，印度小组在磁性玻璃金属中电子传输的研究中一直是一个重要因素。这两个小组的专业知识和实验能力具有很强的互补性，将很好地结合起来实现研究目标。范围：在美国，对非晶态金属的研究一度比印度深入得多。然而，美国的研究重点已经转移到其他领域。目前，还没有专门为非晶态金属研究提供资金的研究项目。马琼达尔和他在坎普尔的小组将在印度乃至全世界就这一主题开展主要工作。美国的合作将确保获得对非晶态金属的重大实验研究，以低成本获得由此产生的技术，并进一步加深对非晶态合金输运的基本了解。该奖项由国际项目部和化学与运输系统部共同资助。***

9605181 Narayan Description: This award is for the US-India Cooperative Research research collaboration in materials science under the direction of Jagdish Narayan, North Carolina State University, Raleigh and S.C. Agrawal, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. The research entitled Laser and Plasma Deposition and Adhesion of Diamond and Diamondlike Films will Effect and Specific Heat in Amorphous Alloys will determine the correlations between the electrical and magnetic properties of metallic glasses. While considerable progress has been made in cataloging and explaining electrical transport in paramagnetic glassy metals, the relative importance of nonmagnetic processes and those associated with magnetism and magnetic scattering processes in amorphous magnetic alloys has not been completely established. The U.S. group has been among the most active studying electron transport and surface chemistry of nonmagnetic amorphous alloys, and the Indian group has been a mahor factor in the study of electron transport in magnetic glassy metals. The expertise and experimental capabilities of the two groups are highly complementary and will combine well to accomplish the research objectives. Scope: In the United States the study of amorphous metals had, at one time, been far more intensive than in India. However, research priorities in the United States have shifted to other areas. Presently, no research programs are funded solely for the study of amorphous metals. The main effort on this topic in India and perhaps worldwide will be performed by Majumdar and his group at Kanpur. U.S. collaboration will insure access to major experimental research on amorphous metals, access to the resulting technology at low cost, and the furthering of basic understanding on transport in amorphous alloys. This award is jointly funded by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Chemical and Transport Systems. ***
