0138151 ShahDescription：该奖项是为了表彰特拉华州纽瓦克特拉华大学材料科学与工程系S.Ismat Shah博士和巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡Quaid-i-Azam大学磁学和超导实验室S.Khurshid Hasanain博士的合作项目。他们计划用直流和交流磁测技术来研究纳米磁性颗粒的磁性行为。沙阿的团队将合成纳米磁性颗粒，由Hasanain博士的团队来表征。最初的工作将集中在铁纳米颗粒上。纳米粒子，特别是磁性纳米粒子，由于其众多的潜在应用，正在迅速增长。该实验框架的开发将在磁系统中有更广泛的应用。对纳米铁颗粒磁性的研究将为这些体系的新性质提供急需的信息，也将有助于我们从根本上理解磁性纳米颗粒的行为。这项工作将有助于建立分析新制备的金属纳米颗粒样品的磁性的框架。范围：特拉华大学拥有良好的磁性纳米颗粒研究项目和良好的设备。这两位科学家拥有互补的专业知识，因为Shah是这些系统的合成和表征方面的专家，而Hasanain在超导和薄膜磁性领域拥有广泛的专业知识。一些初步的合作已经开始，并取得了令人鼓舞的结果，拟议中的实验技术已经在Hasanain博士的实验室中提供。该项目将优化参与大学的科学家和研究生之间的互动。这些学生将在国际环境下接受纳米技术领域前沿研究领域之一的培训。该项目符合支持互惠合作项目的INT标准。该项目由国际科学和工程办公室和材料研究司提供支持。

0138151ShahDescription: This award is for support of a cooperative project by Dr. S. Ismat Shah, Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware and Dr. S. Khurshid Hasanain, Magnetism and Superconductivity Laboratory, Physics Department, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan. They plan to study the magnetic behavior of nanometer sized magnetic particles by the techniques of DC and AC magnetometry.Dr. Shah's team will synthesize nano magnetic particles to be characterized by the team of Dr. Hasanain. The initial work will focus on nanoparticles of iron. The area of nanoparticles in general, and magnetic nanoparticles in particular, is rapidly growing due to the numerous potential applications. The development of the experimental framework will have broader application to magnetic systems. The study of the magnetic properties of nanometer sized iron particles will provide much needed information on the novel properties of these systems, and will also contribute greatly to our fundamental understanding of the behavior of magnetic nanoparticles. The work will help establish the framework for the analysis of magnetic properties of newly prepared samples of metallic nanoparticles.Scope: The University of Delaware has good programs and good equipment for magnetic nanoparticle research. The two scientists have complementary expertise, as Shah is an expert in the synthesis and characterization of these systems, and Hasanain has broad expertise in the area of superconductivity and thin-film magnetism. Some preliminary collaboration has already begun with encouraging results, and the proposed experimental techniques are already available in Dr. Hasanain's laboratory. The project will optimize interaction among scientists and graduate students from each of the participating universities. The students will be provided training in an international setting in one of the leading edge areas of research in the field of nanotechnology. The project meets INT criteria for support of cooperative projects that are mutually beneficial. Support for this project is provided by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Materials Research.
