U.S.-Japan Cooperative Science: Computational Study of Chemical Reactions and Material Modification during Polyatomic-Ion and Cluster-Surface Deposition

OISE-0406491 Sinnott该奖项支持盖恩斯维尔佛罗里达大学的Susan Sinnott教授和日本丰田技术研究所的Tamotsu Kondow教授之间为期一年的合作研究项目。 他们将对多原子离子和团簇表面沉积过程中的化学反应和材料改性进行计算研究。 他们将研究当有机分子和分子簇沉积在金属簇上时，在气体溶剂辅助化学中发生的新颖的尺寸特异性反应。 这些研究旨在模拟与正在进行的实验研究有关的薄膜沉积和表面改性问题。该项目汇集了两个具有互补专业知识和研究能力的实验室的努力。 美国研究人员是理论家，日本人是实验家。 该项目有可能提供新的理解，这对工业材料加工至关重要。通过交流思想和技术，该项目将扩大我们的基础知识，促进国际理解与合作。 该项目包括一名研究生和一名本科生的参与。研究结果将在科学会议和科学期刊上传播。

OISE-0406491SinnottThis award supports a one-year collaborative research project between Professor Susan Sinnott of the University of Florida in Gainesville and Professor Tamotsu Kondow at Toyota Technological Institute in Japan. They will be undertaking a computational study of chemical reactions and material modification during polyatomic-ion and cluster-surface deposition. They will look at the novel size-specific reactions that occur in gas solvent assisted chemistry when organic molecules and molecular clusters are deposited on metal clusters. The studies aim to model film deposition and surface modification issues relevant to ongoing experimental studies.This project brings together the efforts of two laboratories that have complementary expertise and research capabilities. The US researchers are the theoreticians and the Japanese are the experimentalists. The project has the potential to provide new understanding that will be important for industrial materials processing. Through the exchange of ideas and technology, this project will broaden our base of basic knowledge and promote international understanding and cooperation. The project includes the participation of a graduate student and an undergraduate student. Results of the research will be disseminated at scientific meetings and in scientific journals.
