Synthesis and Characterization of Early Transition Metal Phosphorous Chalcogenides: A New Class of Layered Materials?

9700511这项针对本科院校的综合研究(RUI)建议通过让本科生参与研究新型过渡金属材料的合成及其在结构、化学成分、相变和二次谐波产生效率方面的表征，促进了教育和研究。本项目的教育效益将来源于本科化学培训，以更好地反映社会面临的重大科技问题。待合成和表征的材料构成了一类新的层状材料，具有潜在的应用，包括电光器件和混频器件。因此，这些器件材料与光数据存储和光通信技术等应用领域相关，使教育受益成为可能，从而使本科生教育更好地理解社会面临的科学和技术问题。***

9700511 Cleary This well integrated Research for Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) proposal advances education and research by involving undergraduate students in a study of the synthesis of new transition metal based materials and their characterization with respect to structure, chemical composition, phase transitions, and second harmonic generation efficiency. The educational benefit of this project will be derived from the undergraduate chemistry training to better reflect important scientific and technological issues facing society. %%% The materials to be synthesized and characterized constitute a new class of layered materials with potential uses that included electro-optic devices and frequency mixing devices. These device materials therefore are relevant to applications areas such as optical data storage and optical communications technologies, making possible educational benefits that lead to a better understanding at the undergraduate level of education of scientific and technological issues facing society. ***
