Metal Oxide Solid Solutions: Macroscopic to Nano-Scale

化学系的大分子、超分子和纳米化学(MSN)计划将支持内布拉斯加-林肯大学的Marjorie Langell教授的研究计划。朗格尔教授和她的学生将使用最先进的计算和实验光谱方法研究组成和尺寸对双金属过渡金属氧化物纳米颗粒的磁性和化学反应活性的影响，其中包括仅在同步加速器设施中提供的方法。这项研究具有潜在的变革性，因为它可以在磁记忆和电子设备、电池技术、光催化剂和气体传感器等广泛应用中显著改善纳米颗粒的性能。这项研究将在连接基础科学和纳米技术的前沿研究领域为本科生和研究生提供极好的培训机会。

The Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry (MSN) program of the Division of Chemistry will support the research program of Prof. Marjorie Langell of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Prof. Langell and her students will study the effects of composition and size on the magnetic properties and chemical reactivity of bi-metallic transition metal oxide nanoparticles using state-of-the-art computational and experimental spectroscopic methods including ones that are only available in synchrotron facilities. The study is potentially transformative since it could lead to significantly improved properties of nanoparticles in a wide range of applications including magnetic memory and electronic devices, battery technology, photocatalysts and gas sensors. The study will be provide excellent training opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students in a cutting edge research area that bridges fundamental science with nanotechnology.
