U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Spectroscopy & Dynamics of Thermal Energy Relaxation Processes at Interfaces

9815824博尔盖这个为期三年的美法化学合作研究奖为NSF的职业奖项增加了一个国际层面。它涉及匹兹堡大学的埃里克·博尔盖特和波尔多大学物理中心的埃里克·弗赖斯。他们将研究热能对界面上的化学和物理过程的影响。将开发一种特殊的探头，红外二次谐波产生，用于研究振动状态和各种水界面，包括电化学界面。这位美国研究人员将固-液界面方面的专业知识带到了这次合作中。这一点得到了法国在单层电影方面的专业知识的补充。该项目还利用了美国和法国实验室提供的互补仪器。这一合作将进一步了解热能对界面过程的影响，包括吸附、扩散、化学反应、解吸、摩擦和润滑。

9815824BorguetThis three-year award for US-France cooperative research in chemistry adds an international dimension to an NSF career award. It involves Eric Borguet of the University of Pittsburgh and Eric Freysz of the Centre de Physique Moleculaire Optique et Hertzienne at the Universite de Bordeaux. They will study the impact of thermal energy on chemical and physical processes at the interfaces. A special probe, the Infrared Second Harmonic Generation, will be developed to study vibrational states and various aqueous interfaces, including electrochemical interfaces. The US investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in solid-liquid interface. This is complemented by French expertise in monolayer films. The project also takes advantage of complementary instruments available at the US and French labs. This collaboration will further understanding of the influence of thermal energy on interface processes, including adsorption, diffusion, chemical reactions, desorption, friction and lubrication.
