9981390FourkasThis award supports a three year collaborative research project between Professor John Fourkas at Boston College in Massachusetts and Professor Keisuke Tominaga of Kobe University in Japan. The researchers will be undertaking a study of vibrational dynamics of liquids and liquids in confinement. They will combine experimental and theoretical collaborative research to develop a detailed understanding of the effects of nanoconfinement on the properties of liquids. The experimental facet would involve using one-dimensional and multidimensional ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopic techniques to study the orientational and vibrational properties of liquids confined in nanoporous sol-gel glasses. The theoretical portion would include development of realistic molecular dynamics simulations of liquids confined in nanoporous glasses in order to provide a more detailed interpretation of experimental results, as well as development of an improved theoretical description of multidimensional Raman spectroscopies. The project brings together the efforts of two laboratories that have complementary expertise and research capabilities that are not available in any single laboratory in the world. Results of the research could result in a significantly improved understanding of nanoconfinement on the properties of liquids. This may lead to improvements in technologies for processes such as separations, heterogeneous catalysis, oil recovery and lubrication. The project advances international human resources through the participation of graduate students. Through the exchange of ideas and technology, this project will broaden our base of basic knowledge and promote international understanding and cooperation. Results of the research will be published in scientific journals and also on their Web site (http://chemserv.bc.edu/fourkas/).***

该奖项支持马萨诸塞州波士顿学院John Fourkas教授和日本神户大学Keisuke Tominaga教授为期三年的合作研究项目。研究人员将对液体和受限液体的振动动力学进行研究。他们将结合实验和理论合作研究，详细了解纳米限制对液体性质的影响。实验方面将涉及使用一维和多维超快非线性光谱技术来研究纳米孔溶胶-凝胶玻璃中液体的取向和振动特性。理论部分将包括开发纳米多孔玻璃中液体的真实分子动力学模拟，以便对实验结果提供更详细的解释，以及开发改进的多维拉曼光谱理论描述。该项目汇集了两个具有互补专业知识和研究能力的实验室的努力，这是世界上任何一个实验室都无法提供的。研究结果可能会导致对液体性质的纳米限制的理解显著提高。这可能会导致分离、多相催化、采油和润滑等工艺技术的改进。该项目通过研究生的参与促进国际人力资源。通过思想和技术的交流，该项目将扩大我们的基础知识基础，促进国际了解与合作。研究结果将发表在科学期刊及其网站（http://chemserv.bc.edu/fourkas/）.***)上
