US-Turkey Cooperative Research: Growth of Thin Film Materials by Electrochemical Atomic Layer Epitaxy

0114624 Shannon描述：该奖项支持阿拉巴马州奥本大学化学系Curtis Shannon博士和土耳其埃尔祖鲁姆阿塔图尔克大学化学系Unit Demir博士之间的合作研究项目。 这些研究人员计划研究电化学原子层外延（EC-ALE）生长材料的薄膜结构和生长动力学的基本方面。 这是一种用于材料生长的室温技术，可用于在各种导电衬底上以逐层方式生产高质量的外延取向多晶沉积物。他们将在他们的研究中特别使用两个目标，以更好地理解生长机制。 这些是薄膜结构的扫描探针显微镜研究和沉积过程中的EC-ALE growth cycle. Scope的速率计时电流研究：该奖项将允许美国科学家和土耳其科学家与互补的专业知识，以汇集他们的资源在一个互利的研究。 Shannon博士是薄膜材料电合成及其扫描探针技术表征方面的资深研究员。 Demir博士是一位在电沉积动力学方面拥有专业知识的年轻科学家。该项目将涉及一名来自奥本大学的美国研究生，他将与外国合作科学家一起工作。

0114624ShannonDescription: This award supports a collaborative research project between Dr. Curtis Shannon, Department of Chemistry, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama and Dr. Unit Demir, Department of Chemistry, Ataturk University, Erzurum, Turkey. These investigators plan to study fundamental aspects of thin film structure and growth kinetics in materials grown by electrochemical atomic layer epitaxy (EC-ALE). This is a room temperature technique for materials growth that can be used to produce high quality, epitaxially oriented polycrystalline deposits in a layer-by-layer fashion on a wide variety of conducting substrates. They will specifically use in their studies two goals for better understanding of the growth mechanism. These are scanning probe microscopy studies of thin film structure and chronoamperometric studies of the rate of deposition processes during the EC-ALE growth cycle.Scope: This award will allow a US scientist and a Turkish scientist with complementary expertise to pool their resources in a mutually beneficial study. Dr. Shannon is an established researcher in the electrosynthesis of thin film materials and their characterization by scanning probe techniques. Dr. Demir is a young scientist with expertise in the kinetics of electrodeposition. The project will involve a US graduate student from Auburn University who will work with the foreign collaborating scientist.
