0319201Van PattenThis award supports the PI to visit the laboratory of Harald Morgner of the Department of Chemistry and Mineralogy at the University of Leipzig, Germany. The purpose of the visit is to finalize plans for a joint research project on the structure and evolution of polyelectrolyte thin films during and after deposition. Thin film assembly has become a critical area of nanotechnology research over the past decade and Morgner is one of the few scientists in the world with the equipment and expertise to use low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy to perform concentration depth profiling of condensed materials over ranges of tens to hundreds of nanometers. Together, the US and German labs will use ISS to map the internal structure of polyelectrolyte thin films and to monitor the evolution of the films as a function of ambient conditions during and after deposition.The broader impacts of this collaboration are that it increases interactions between US researchers and those in the former East Germany, it promotes collaborative opportunities and career development for US junior faculty, and it enhances the infrastructure for research and education by laying the groundwork for future international research and education opportunities.

0319201 Van Patten该奖项支持PI访问德国莱比锡大学化学和矿物学系Harald Morgner的实验室。 此次访问的目的是最后确定一项关于沉积过程中和沉积后薄膜结构和演变的联合研究项目的计划。 在过去的十年中，薄膜组装已成为纳米技术研究的一个关键领域，Morgner是世界上为数不多的科学家之一，他拥有使用低能离子散射光谱法对数十至数百纳米范围内的凝聚材料进行浓度深度分析的设备和专业知识。 美国和德国的实验室将共同利用国际空间站绘制纳米薄膜的内部结构，并监测薄膜在沉积过程中和沉积后随环境条件的变化。这种合作的更广泛影响是，它增加了美国研究人员与前东德德国研究人员之间的互动，促进了美国初级教师的合作机会和职业发展，它通过为未来的国际研究和教育机会奠定基础，加强了研究和教育的基础设施。
