This two-year award supports participation of graduate students and a postdoctoral researcher in a U.S.-U.K. cooperative research project between Andrew Barron of Rice University and W. H. Rankin of the University of Edinburgh. The objective of their research is to determine the structure of a series of Group 13 compounds - aluminum, gallium, and indium - through analysis of electron diffraction data. They will study the compounds under conditions similar to those employed in metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of thin films. The investigators will write mathematical models to describe the molecular geometries and interpret the data. The U.S. investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in molecular control studies of inorganic materials. This is complemented by the U.K. investigator's expertise in the structure of small molecules. The project will advance our understanding of molecular control of the structure, morphology and purity of thin films.

这一为期两年的奖项支持研究生和博士后研究员参与莱斯大学的安德鲁·巴伦和爱丁堡大学的W·H·兰金之间的美英合作研究项目。他们研究的目的是通过分析电子衍射数据来确定一系列第13族化合物-铝、镓和铟的结构。他们将在类似于金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)薄膜的条件下研究这些化合物。研究人员将编写数学模型来描述分子几何并解释数据。这位美国研究人员将无机材料的分子控制研究方面的专业知识带到了这次合作中。此外，这位英国研究人员还拥有小分子结构方面的专业知识。该项目将促进我们对分子控制薄膜结构、形貌和纯度的理解。
