NSF Young Investigator: Molecular Crystal Morphology

本研究的重点是制备和表征的 固体晶体中的分子化合物的性质， 无机物质，如硫酸钠或芒硝。 这些 新型混合晶体将作为潜在的固态激光器进行研究， 将研究适用于材料的独特光学现象 research. 这项研究将促进对控制 晶体生长这个NSF青年研究者奖，从有机 动力学计划支持博士巴特E。卡尔 华盛顿大学化学系。 卡尔教授 将把工作重点放在晶体生长领域。 无机晶体 包含有机染料，称为沙漏夹杂物，将是 为了研究材料研究的应用， 非线性光学器件和固态激光器。

The focus of this research is the preparation and characterization of the properties of molecular compounds included in solid crystals derived from inorganic substances such as sodium sulfate or Glauber's salt. These novel mixed crystals will be studied as potential solid state lasers and will be examined for unique optical phenomena applicable to materials research. The research will advance understanding of the control of crystal growth. This NSF Young Investigator Award from the Organic Dynamics Program supports the research of Dr. Bart E. Kahr of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Washington. Professor Kahr will focus his work on the area of crystal growth. Inorganic crystals with included organic dyes, called hourglass inclusions, will be investigated in order to study applications for materials research, non-linear optical devices and solid state lasers.
