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.

这项行动资助佛罗里达大学的Kevin H.Miller于2012年夏天在澳大利亚新南威尔士州卧龙岗的卧龙岗大学开展了一项研究项目，题为“新型单晶中电和磁激发的红外传输研究”。主持这项研究的科学家是罗杰·A·刘易斯教授。该研究项目的智力价值在于在新型多铁性和磁电性单晶中寻找磁振子和电磁振子的激发。更具体地说，建议的研究涉及对FeTe2O5BrCuSe2O5和Cu3Bi2O2Cl太赫兹透射率的测量，以研究这些材料中磁电耦合的存在。EAPSI奖学金的更广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；介绍各自所在地的科学、科学政策和科学基础设施；以及了解社会、文化和语言。这些活动符合NSF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为国际合作进行教育，从而确保拥有一支具有全球意识的美国科学队伍。
