Joint U.S./German Investigation of Extraordinarily Stable Glasses by Nanocalorimetry

该奖项由化学部门的实验物理化学项目资助，来自威斯康星大学的Mark Ediger教授和他的研究生同事将使用纳米热测量技术研究非常稳定的玻璃的行为。这项研究与德国研究协会（DFG）向罗斯托克大学的Christoph Schick博士提供的合作奖相协调。该奖项将允许Ediger教授在自己的实验室中建立纳米热测量设备，并利用Schick教授在纳米热测量方面的专业知识来研究有趣和不寻常的玻璃材料，这是Ediger教授研究的重点。非晶材料在许多现代技术中占据中心地位，包括但不限于聚合物、玻璃和非晶半导体。分子玻璃的类型是该奖项支持的研究重点，它有望成为改进药物的材料。此外，从事这些项目的学生将接触到国际背景下的研究。

In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Mark Ediger from the University of Wisconsin and his research student colleagues will investigate the behavior of extraordinarily stable glasses using the techniques of nanocalorimetry . This research coordinates with a collaborative award funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) to Dr. Christoph Schick from the University of Rostock. This award will allow Prof. Ediger to build nanocalorimetry equipment in his own laboratory and draw on the expertise of Prof. Schick in the use of nanocalorimetry to study the interesting and unusual glassy materials that are the focus of Prof. Ediger's research. Amorphous materials take center stage in a number of modern technologies, including, but not limited to polymers, glasses and amorphous semiconductors. The type of molecular glasses that are the focus of the research supported in this award show promise as materials for improved pharmaceuticals. In addition, the students working on these projects will be exposed to research in an international setting.
