US-Cameroon Cooperative Research: Theoretical Research on Nanostructure Growth

INT-0097037 Mullen该奖项支持俄克拉荷马州大学物理和天文系的Kieran马伦教授与喀麦隆雅温得大学物理系的Jean-Marie Ndjaka教授之间为期18个月的合作研究项目。 教授马伦和Ndjaka将从理论上研究半导体纳米结构的自组织和弹性特性。 该项目将利用马伦教授在半导体物理学方面的专门知识和Ndjaka教授在磁系统和相关电子系统方面的背景。 这笔赠款还将使Ndjaka教授能够在纳米结构生长的应用理论方面获得额外的经验。 预期的结果应该为量子点的实验研究提供额外的支持。 该项目还将促进两所大学之间的长期合作，这将加强两所学校的研究项目。

INT-0097037MullenThis award supports an 18 month collaborative research project between Professor Kieran Mullen, with the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Oklahoma, and Professor Jean-Marie Ndjaka, with the Department of Physics at the University of Yaounde in Cameroon. Professors Mullen and Ndjaka will theoretically investigate the self organization and elastic properties of semiconductor nanoscale structures. The project will utilize Professor Mullen's expertise in semiconductor physics and Professor Ndjaka's background in magnetic systems and correlated electron systems. This grant will also enable Professor Ndjaka to gain additional experience in the applied theory of nanostructure growth. Anticipated results should provide additional support for the experimental study of quantum dots. The project will also foster a long-term collaboration between the two universities, which will enhance the research programs at both schools.
