DMR - 1337916 LisfiTECHNICAL SUMMARY:This Major Research Instrumentation award supports Morgan State University with the acquisition of a multifunctional magnetometer for research and education. The instrument includes all the potential measurements typically offered by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), a torque magnetometer (TMM), and a magnetoresistance setup (MRS). The multifunctional magnetometer will play a key role in investigating the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic functional materials such as highly magnetostrictive alloys, low-dimensional magnetic hetero-structures, magnetic shape memories, magneto-electrics, and organic exciton multiferroics. Researchers will be able to conduct a range of magnetic and transport measurement These measurements together with other techniques at the PIs institutions will be crucial in conducting cutting-edge research and advancing scientific knowledge in the field of magnetic materials. Knowledge acquired will contribute to engineering new advanced magnetics with superior performances over traditional materials, which will benefit the industrial sector.NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY:This Major Research Instrumentation award will provide Morgan State University with funds for purchasing a multifunctional magnetometer for collaborative research and education. The instrument will be used to fulfill the needs of advanced magnetic characterization of various types of functional materials developed by the principal investigators (PIs) and their research partners at the University of Maryland, as well as to provide research training to students and faculty from their own institutions. This new instrument will facilitate the establishment of new research partnerships between the PIs and other scientists at other academic institutions and in industry. It will enhance the research infrastructure at Morgan State University (MSU), and will provide research opportunities to African-Americans, who are underrepresented in this field of science. The project will increase the competitiveness of the minority students in the area of magnetic materials at MSU. This will be done by providing a high quality of education and research training to the students involved in this program. This will have a significant impact on enhancing the opportunities for African-American graduates in the job market.

摘要：该重大研究仪器奖支持摩根州立大学获得用于研究和教育的多功能磁力计。该仪器包括振动样品磁强计（VSM）、扭矩磁强计（TMM）和磁阻设置（MRS）通常提供的所有电位测量。多功能磁强计将在研究高磁致伸缩合金、低维磁异质结构、磁形状记忆、磁电和有机激子多铁性等铁磁功能材料的磁性能方面发挥关键作用。研究人员将能够进行一系列的磁性和输运测量，这些测量与pi机构的其他技术一起，对于开展磁性材料领域的前沿研究和推进科学知识至关重要。所获得的知识将有助于设计出性能优于传统材料的新型先进磁性材料，这将使工业部门受益。非技术概述：该主要研究仪器奖将为摩根州立大学提供资金，用于购买多功能磁力计，用于合作研究和教育。该仪器将用于满足马里兰大学首席研究员（pi）及其研究伙伴开发的各种功能材料的高级磁性表征需求，并为他们自己机构的学生和教师提供研究培训。这一新仪器将促进pi与其他学术机构和工业界的其他科学家之间建立新的研究伙伴关系。它将加强摩根州立大学（MSU）的研究基础设施，并将为在这一科学领域代表性不足的非裔美国人提供研究机会。该项目将提高密歇根州立大学磁性材料领域少数民族学生的竞争力。这将通过为参与该计划的学生提供高质量的教育和研究培训来实现。这将对增加非裔美国毕业生在就业市场上的机会产生重大影响。
