OISE 06-37897Gordon, MatthewThis project provides support for a planning visit to the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. The U.S. principal investigator is Gordon Matthew from the University of Arkansas. The U.K. collaborator is James Bradley. The main goal of this planning visit is to establish an international collaborative research and curriculum development effort in plasma sciences with applications in nanotechnology, biotechnology and manufacturing. This visit will also allow the PI to obtain hands-on experience with some advanced plasma diagnostic equipment (Langmuir probe and mass and energy residual gas analyzer) that is routinely used in the UK lab. Such equipment will soon be acquired by the PI for installation in his US lab and the hands on experience gained in the UK will be very valuable.This collaboration brings together two unique and complementary plasma systems that each group has. The US group has an RF magnetron sputtering system and the UK group has a DC pulsed magnetron sputtering system. There is much interest in a thorough comparative study of the strengths and weaknesses of these two systems. This effort will also lead to an active educational program for US students and through active laboratory collaboration and exchange visits.

OISE 06- 37897戈登，马修这个项目提供了对英国利物浦大学的计划访问的支持。美国首席研究员是来自阿肯色州大学的戈登·马修。 英国合作者是詹姆斯布拉德利。 这次规划访问的主要目标是建立一个国际合作研究和课程开发的努力，在等离子体科学与纳米技术，生物技术和制造业的应用。 此次访问还将使PI获得在英国实验室常规使用的一些先进等离子体诊断设备（朗缪尔探针和质量和能量残留气体分析仪）的实践经验。 PI将很快获得此类设备，并安装在他的美国实验室中，在英国获得的实践经验将非常有价值。此次合作将每个团队拥有的两个独特且互补的等离子系统结合在一起。 美国组有射频磁控溅射系统，英国组有直流脉冲磁控溅射系统。 对这两种制度的长处和短处进行彻底的比较研究是很有意义的。 这一努力也将导致美国学生积极的教育计划，并通过积极的实验室合作和互访。
