Partnership between NMHU and OSU in Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials

非技术摘要为了改善服务于拉美裔学生群体(约70%的拉美裔学生)的教育和研究机会，新墨西哥高地大学(NMHU)与俄亥俄州立大学(OSU)制定了NMHU合作项目。这一多机构和多学科的项目允许在电子、光学和磁性领域实现对材料设计的更高水平的理解。物理、工程、化学和地质学系在材料科学的广泛领域拥有丰富的专业知识，将能够帮助学生，特别是来自代表性不足的群体的学生，通过与研究相关的教育进入最先进的材料研究领域。NMHU-OSU的合作伙伴关系将系统地影响所有合作机构的本科生、研究生、研究生和教职员工。在新墨西哥州，在高中阶段，PREM将利用研究、数学和科学(ARMAS)中心的双重学分和成就来鼓励和吸引学生参加高中的科学教育计划。NMHU将与俄亥俄州立大学合作，设计两门新的材料科学课程，致力于深入了解材料的结构和材料的磁性。俄亥俄州立大学的专家将到访并举办客座讲座和特别的社区高科技研讨会，同时举行热闹的PREM招待会，以鼓励高中和大学的学生和教职员工混合在一起。北卡罗来纳州立大学的本科生将被邀请参加俄亥俄州立大学本科生研究体验(REU)暑期项目的实践研究项目。对于S级别的硕士研究生，俄亥俄州立大学将提供一学期的学习时间，以促进他们未来进入俄亥俄州立大学或其他研究型大学的博士项目。现有的PREM和OSU与洛斯阿拉莫斯和阿贡国家实验室的合作伙伴关系将允许NMHU的学生暑期实习。培训年轻居民，使其有资格从事需要各种技术领域专业知识的本土工作，这符合新墨西哥州和美国的最佳利益。技术摘要由Timofeeva教授(NMHU)和Johnston-Halperin教授(OSU)领导的拟议伙伴关系的主要目标将包括了解材料设计、合成的原理，以及在具有电、光和磁性能的材料领域的应用。材料设计和晶体工程的一种新方法将允许在一种晶体材料中结合两个或多个组分，这将给多组分体系的电子性质带来显着的变化。构建新的多孔金属有机骨架，可以掺杂磁性颗粒，将允许创造新的传感器、药物输送系统、基于磁性的冷却系统和其他应用。与俄亥俄州立大学的合作将使NMHU的研究人员和学生能够为NMHU材料科学领域开启新的篇章，该领域与2D石墨烯及其变种有关，由吸附的金属纳米颗粒修饰。这些基础性研究将为此类材料的未来应用提供途径。合作利用俄勒冈州立大学和国立卫生大学现有的研究设施将扩大多学科研究培训的机会。NMHU-OSU PREM伙伴关系的研究成果将通过同行评议期刊上的出版物传播，并在国内和国际会议上介绍。Prem将为有兴趣在与国家和民族的研究兴趣和需求直接相关的研究领域站稳脚跟的年轻人打开大门。

Non-Technical AbstractTo improve educational and research opportunities in the Hispanic serving (~70% Hispanic student body) New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU) collaborative project between NMHU and Ohio State University (OSU) was developed. This multi-institutional and multidisciplinary project allows for achieving a higher level of understanding of materials design in areas of electronic, optical and magnetic properties. Faculty in physics, engineering, chemistry and geology with strong expertise in a broad area of materials science will be able to assist students, especially from underrepresented groups, to enter into state-of-the-art materials research via research related education. The NMHU-OSU partnership will systematically impact undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate students and faculty at all partner institutions. In New Mexico, at the high school level, PREM will use the dual credit and Achieving in Research, Mathematics and Science (ARMAS) Center to encourage and engage students in science education programs at the High Schools. At NMHU in collaboration with OSU, two new materials science courses devoted to an in-depth understanding of materials structure and magnetic properties of materials will be designed. OSU experts will visit to deliver guest lectures and special community high-tech seminars accompanied by lively PREM receptions to encourage mixing of high school and university students and faculty. Undergraduates from NMHU will be invited to perform hands-on research projects at OSU Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) summer program. For master?s level students one semester of study at OSU will be offered to promote their future admission into PhD programs at OSU or other research universities. The existing PREM and OSU partnership with Los Alamos and Argonne National Laboratory will allow for NMHU student summer internships. It is in New Mexico's and the nation's best interests to train young residents to qualify for home-grown jobs that require expertise in various fields of technology. Technical AbstractThe main goals of the proposed partnership led by Prof. Timofeeva (NMHU) and Prof. Johnston-Halperin (OSU) will include understanding the principles of materials design, synthesis, and applications in areas of materials with electronic, optical and magnetic properties. A new approach to materials design and crystal engineering will allow for the combination of two or more components in one crystalline material which brings significant alteration of electronic properties of multi-component systems. Construction of new porous metalorganic frameworks, which can be doped with magnetic particles, will allow for creation of new sensors, drug delivery systems, magnetic-based cooling systems, and other applications. Collaboration with OSU will allow NMHU researchers and students to start new for NMHU area of materials science related to 2D graphene and its varieties, modified by absorbed metal nanoparticles. These fundamental studies will suggest pathways for future applications of such materials. Collaborative use OSU and NMHU existing research facilities will broaden opportunities for multidisciplinary research training. The research results of the NMHU-OSU PREM partnership will be disseminated via publications in peer reviewed journals and presented at domestic and international conferences. PREM will open the door for young people interested in gaining a foothold in areas of study that are directly relevant to the research interests and needs of the state and nation.
