MRSEC: Center for Porous Materials

宾夕法尼亚州立大学的材料研究科学与工程中心（MRSEC）支持一项关于多孔基质中集体现象的跨学科研究计划。 该小组的研究涉及在一维，二维和三维连通性的纳米级多孔系统中出现的集体分子，光子和电子效应。 特别强调的是放置在有序的结构与应用可调的光子晶体，在流体中的相变，在一维线和三维固相超晶格的电子效应。 该中心还为新兴的研究机会提供种子支持。该中心支持维护良好的共享实验和计算设施，并支持与工业和其他部门的互动努力。 综合教育活动范围从K-12到研究生教育，通过与科学博物馆的联系向公众推广。中心目前的参与者包括13名高级研究员，2名博士后助理，16名研究生和2名技术人员和其他支持人员。 陈慕智教授领导该中心。

0080019ChanThe Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Penn State University supports an interdisciplinary research program on collective phenomena in porous hosts. The group research addresses the collective molecular, photonic and electronic effects that emerge in nanometer-scale porous systems of one-, two- and three-dimensional connectivity. Particular emphasis is placed on ordered structures with application to tunable photonic crystals, phase transitions in fluids, and electronic effects in one-dimensional wires and three-dimensional solid phase superlattices. The Center also provides seed support for emerging research opportunities.The Center supports well maintained shared experimental and computational facilities and also supports interactive efforts with industry and other sectors. Comprehensive education activities range from K-12 to graduate education, with outreach to the public through ties to science museums.Participants in the Center currently include 13 senior investigators, 2 postdoctoral associates, 16 graduate students and 2 technicians and other support personnel. Professor Moses Chan directs the MRSEC.
