NSF East Asia and Pacific Summer Institute for FY 2012 in Australia

这项行动资助了佛罗里达大学的Kevin H. Miller于2012年夏天在澳大利亚新南威尔士州伍伦贡的伍伦贡大学开展一项名为“新型单晶中电和磁激励的红外传输研究”的研究项目。主持会议的科学家是罗杰·a·刘易斯教授。本课题的智力价值在于寻找新型多铁性和磁电单晶中的磁振子和电磁振子激励。更具体地说，该研究涉及对FeTe2O5Br， CuSe2O5和Cu3Bi(SeO3)2O2Cl进行太赫兹透射测量，以研究这些材料中磁电耦合的存在。EAPSI奖学金的广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；介绍该地区的科学、科学政策和科学基础设施；以及对社会、文化和语言的了解。这些活动符合美国国家科学基金会的目标，即在其科学家、工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯早期培养国际合作，从而确保美国科学劳动力具有全球意识。

This action funds Kevin H. Miller of the University of Florida to conduct a research project, entitled "Infrared Transmission Study of Electric and Magnetic Excitations in Novel Single Crystals" during the summer of 2012 at the University of Wollongong in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. The host scientist is Professor Roger A. Lewis.The Intellectual Merit of the research project lies in searching for magnon and electromagnon excitations in novel multiferroic and magnetoelectric single crystals. More specifically, the proposed research involveds terahertz transmission measurements on FeTe2O5Br, CuSe2O5, and Cu3Bi(SeO3)2O2Cl to investigate the existence of magnetoelectric coupling in these materials. Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.
