With NSF support, Fisk University proposed second phase CREST Center for Physics and Chemistry of Materials (CPCoM) will primarily establish a sustainable program that integrates high-quality science education with state-of-the-art research and develop it over the course of CREST support into an internationally recognized research center in the area of physics and chemistry of advanced materials. Education of undergraduates and graduates will be a vital component of the Center. The major objectives of the CREST-CPCoM Center are to continue establishing a world-class research center for the study of electronic and optical materials and related technologies. The research focus of the proposed Center for Physics and Chemistry of Materials is in the study of advanced materials, novel processing methods, new properties and phenomena while enabling new devices for science, industry, energy, environment, 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, amorphous materials and glasses, glass-ceramics and thin films.Broader impacts include dramatic increases in the production of well prepared members of underrepresented groups (primarily Afro-American and/or female) with Masters and PhDs at CPCoM and its partners through rich interdisciplinary interactions and cross-fertilizations of ideas among the faculty and students in the discovery and study of novel materials and creating breakthroughs basedon scientific and technological excellence.

在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，菲斯克大学提出的第二阶段CREST材料物理化学中心（CPCoM）将主要建立一个可持续发展的项目，将高质量的科学教育与最先进的研究相结合，并在CREST的支持下将其发展成为一个国际公认的先进材料物理化学研究中心。本科生和研究生的教育将是中心的重要组成部分。CREST-CPCoM中心的主要目标是继续建立一个世界一流的电子和光学材料及相关技术研究中心。拟建的材料物理与化学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，同时为科学、工业、能源、环境和医学提供新设备。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，非晶材料和玻璃，玻璃陶瓷和薄膜等形式的选定电子和光学材料。更广泛的影响包括，通过丰富的跨学科互动和师生之间在发现和研究新材料方面的思想交流，以及在科学和技术卓越的基础上创造突破，CPCoM及其合作伙伴拥有硕士和博士学位的准备充分的群体成员（主要是非洲裔美国人和/或女性）的生产急剧增加。
