Title: CREST Center for Physics and Chemistry of MaterialsFisk UniversityHRD - 0420516PI - Warren E. CollinsWith NSF support, Fisk University will establish the Center for Physics and Chemistry of Materials (CPCoM). The research focus of the proposed Center is the study of advanced materials, novel processing methods, new properties and phenomena that will enable new devices for science, industry and medicine. Phenomena and their applications will focus on detection, emission and modulation of electromagnetic radiation based on selected electronic and optical materials in the form of crystals, nanomaterials, glass-ceramics and thin films.The Center will pursue four research thrusts: (1) controlled defect formation during processing of wide-gap semiconductors for optical and electro-optical applications (crystal growth and materials science), (2) fabrication of metal and semiconductor nanocrystals by pulsed laser deposition: linear and nonlinear optical properties (chemical physics and optics), (3) mesoscale materials for photonic applications (applied optics and spectroscopy), (4) modification, and characterization of new thin film optical materials (surface sciences).Intellectual Merit of the Proposed ActivityThe Fisk University CREST Center will contribute to the knowledge base of electronic and optical materials and related technologies. The Center for Physics and Chemistry of Materials will address some of the critical issues in this area, requiring expertise in materials science, chemical physics, optics and spectroscopy, solid-state physics and surface science.Broader Impact of the Proposed ActivityThrough strong collaborations with other universities, national research laboratories, and industry, the Fisk CREST Center will serve as a regional resource center that will enhance the access and involvement of minority students and faculty from HBCU's in Tennessee and its neighboring states. The establishment of CPCoM is in alignment with the long term planning and strategy of the university.

菲斯克大学材料物理与化学中心hrd - 0420516PI - Warren E. collins在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，菲斯克大学将建立材料物理与化学中心（CPCoM）。该中心的研究重点是研究先进材料、新加工方法、新特性和新现象，为科学、工业和医学提供新设备。现象及其应用将侧重于电磁辐射的探测，发射和调制基于晶体，纳米材料，玻璃陶瓷和薄膜等形式的选定电子和光学材料。该中心将进行四个研究重点：(1)用于光学和电光应用的宽间隙半导体（晶体生长和材料科学）加工过程中的缺陷形成控制；(2)脉冲激光沉积金属和半导体纳米晶体的制造；线性和非线性光学性质（化学物理和光学），(3)用于光子应用的中尺度材料（应用光学和光谱学），(4)新型薄膜光学材料的改性和表征（表面科学）。拟议活动的知识价值菲斯克大学CREST中心将为电子和光学材料及相关技术的知识库做出贡献。材料物理和化学中心将解决该领域的一些关键问题，需要材料科学、化学物理、光学和光谱学、固态物理和表面科学方面的专业知识。拟议活动的更广泛影响通过与其他大学、国家研究实验室和工业界的密切合作，菲斯克CREST中心将作为一个区域资源中心，加强田纳西州及其邻近州HBCU少数民族学生和教师的接触和参与。CPCoM的成立符合学校的长远规划和战略。
