REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Physics

UNLV物理系将在2002-2004年夏季举办一个为期10周的本科生研究参与项目，本科生物理研究，并在每个学年跟进。 该部门的研究领域包括原子，分子，化学和光学物理，凝聚态物理，高压物理和材料科学。学生将在我们设备齐全的激光实验室获得实践经验，并使用主要的凝聚态研究设施：扫描电子显微镜，电子探针显微分析仪，X射线光电子能谱仪和X射线衍射仪。一系列的小组活动包括介绍研究、研究伦理、发表科学演讲、进入研究生院以及社交活动的研讨会。学生将从UNLV本科生和其他学院和大学招募，特别注意西部和中西部的选定学校。来自研究机会有限的机构的申请人将比来自主要研究型大学的申请人获得更高的优先权。该计划结束时，学生们创建一个海报展示他们的研究成果，他们在一个特殊的海报会议上展示，吸引了大量的大学观众。

The UNLV Physics Department will host a 10-week undergraduate research participation project, Undergraduate Research in Physics, during the summers of 2002-2004, with followup during each academic year. Research in the department is in the areas of atomic, molecular, chemical and optical physics, condensed matter physics, high pressure physics, and materials science. Students will obtain hands-on laboratory experience in our well-equipped laser laboratories, and use major condensed-matter research facilities: the Scanning Electron Microscope, an Electron Probe Micro Analyzer, an X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer, and an X- Ray Diffractometer. A series of group activities includes seminars on an introduction to research, research ethics, giving a scientific presentation, and getting into graduate school, as well as social functions. Students will be recruited from UNLV undergraduates and from other colleges and universities, with special attention paid to selected schools in the West and Mid-West. Applicants from institutions where research opportunities are limited will be given higher priority over those from major research universities. The program ends by students creating a poster presenting their research results, which they display at a special poster session that attracts a large university-wide audience.
