MRSEC: Materials Science and Engineering Research Center

9632275 Silcox康奈尔大学材料研究科学与工程中心（MRSEC）支持四个跨学科小组的互动研究。MRSEC的主题是在纳米结构水平上对材料的理解和控制。该中心为本科生提供了广泛的研究经验项目，并为纽约州北部的大学预科学生提供了一个新项目，其中包括与当地科学博物馆的合作。该中心还将为材料科学的探索性研究和新兴领域提供种子基金。MRSEC支持加强与工业界和广泛共享实验设施的合作，也支持非由MRSEC直接资助的研究。作为中心寻找新材料的一部分，分子无机-有机复合材料小组将专注于制备和表征新型纳米级无机-有机分子复合材料的创新方法。研究玻璃上薄膜的小组提出了对无序表面和玻璃上薄膜沉积的系统研究。该研究解决了大量目前尚不了解的现象，并有潜在的应用于大面积电子产品，这是通信和显示行业的一个不断增长的部分。高能离子束和原子束沉积薄膜可以显著地改变薄膜的生长，从而产生新的结构、新的成分和光滑的超薄膜。这个小组试图理解这些影响背后的微观过程。金属纳米结构组将使用独特结构的纳米材料来隔离少数缺陷（甚至单个缺陷），以阐明由缺陷和杂质引起的基本问题。磁相互作用、缺陷和杂质可以在量子系统中产生戏剧性的影响。中心现有高级研究人员35人，博士后8人，技师及其他专业人员12人，研究生36人，本科生25人。MRSEC由John Silcox教授领导。康奈尔大学材料研究科学与工程中心（MRSEC）支持四个跨学科小组的互动研究。MRSEC的主题是在纳米结构水平上对材料的理解和控制。该中心为本科生提供了广泛的研究经验项目，并为纽约州北部的大学预科学生提供了一个新项目，其中包括与当地科学博物馆的合作。该中心还将为材料科学的探索性研究和新兴领域提供种子基金。MRSEC支持加强与工业界和广泛共享实验设施的合作，也支持非由MRSEC直接资助的研究。作为中心寻找新材料的一部分，分子无机-有机复合材料小组将专注于制备和表征新型纳米级无机-有机分子复合材料的创新方法。研究玻璃上薄膜的小组提出了对无序表面和玻璃上薄膜沉积的系统研究。该研究解决了大量目前尚不了解的现象，并有潜在的应用于大面积电子产品，这是通信和显示行业的一个不断增长的部分。高能离子束和原子束沉积薄膜可以显著地改变薄膜的生长，从而产生新的结构、新的成分和光滑的超薄膜。这个小组试图理解这些影响背后的微观过程。金属纳米结构组将使用独特结构的纳米材料来隔离少数缺陷（甚至单个缺陷），以阐明由缺陷和杂质引起的基本问题。磁相互作用、缺陷和杂质可以在量子系统中产生戏剧性的影响。中心现有高级研究员35人，博士后8人，技术及其他专业人员12人，研究生36人，本科生25人。MRSEC由John Silcox教授领导。＊＊＊

9632275 Silcox The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Cornell University supports interactive research in four interdisciplinary groups. The theme of the MRSEC is the understanding and control of materials at the nanostructural level. The Center supports an extensive program of research experience for undergraduates and a new program of outreach to pre-college students in upstate New York, including collaborative efforts with a local science museum. The Center will also support seed funding for exploratory research and emerging areas of materials science. The MRSEC supports enhanced collaboration with industry and extensive shared experimental facilities that also support research not directly funded by the MRSEC. As part of the Center's search for new materials, the molecular inorganic- organic composites group will focus on innovative approaches for preparing and characterizing novel nanoscale inorganic-organic molecular composites. The group studying thin films on glass proposes systematic studies of disordered surfaces and thin film deposition on glass. The research addresses a rich array of phenomena that are not currently understood, and has potential application for large area electronics, a growing segment of the communications and display industry. Thin film deposition by energetic ion and atom beams can alter thin film growth substantially, leading to new structures, new compositions, and smooth ultra-thin films with improved properties. This group seeks to understand the microscopic processes underlying these effects. Uniquely structured nanoscale materials that isolate a few defects (or even a single one) will be used by the metallic nanostructure group to elucidate fundamental issues arising from defects and impurities. Magnetic interactions, defects and impurities can produce dramatic effects in quantum systems. The Center currently supports about 35 senior investigators, 8 postdoctoral research associates, 12 t echnicians or other professionals, 36 graduate students, and 25 undergraduates. The MRSEC is directed by Professor John Silcox. %%% The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Cornell University supports interactive research in four interdisciplinary groups.
