将研究多价材料的性质 通过电子自旋共振和X射线吸收光谱。 的 待研究的系统包括在氨溶液中的金属， 金属到绝缘体的过渡，含有相同元素的化合物， 至少两种不同的价态，插层材料， 一维有机导体 所有这些材料都有 与高负荷电池的开发相关的应用， 催化剂、固体润滑剂和新型各向异性导体。的 研究工作将在加州大学进行- 伯克利生物动力学实验室和斯坦福大学同步加速器 辐射实验室 Acrivos博士还将教授一门新的研究生课程“XAS应用 多价材料”并共同指导博士论文集 加州大学伯克利分校。 本项目进一步促进了VPW计划的目标，即（1） 为妇女提供在工程领域发展事业的机会 在NSF支持的科学学科和（2）鼓励 妇女追求科学和工程事业，提供更大的 在工业界就业的女科学家和女工程师的知名度， 政府和学术机构。 通过鼓励参与 这是对国家未来的宝贵投资， 科学生命力

The properties of multiple valence materials will be investigated by electron spin resonance and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The systems to be investigated include metal in ammonia solutions near the metal to insulator transition, compounds containing the same element in at least two different valence states, intercalated layer materials and one dimensional organic conductors. All these materials have applications in connection with the development of high duty batteries, catalysts, solid lubricants and new types of anisotropic conductors. The research work will be carried out at the University of California- Berkeley Biodynamics Laboratory and at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. Dr. Acrivos will also teach a new graduate course on "XAS Applied to Multiple Valence Materials" and co-direct Ph.D. theses at the University of California-Berkeley. This project furthers VPW program objectives which are (1) to provide opportunities for women to advance their careers in engineering and in the disciplines of science supported by NSF and (2) to encourage women to pursue careers in science and engineering by providing greater visibility for women scientists and engineers employed in industry, government, and academic institutions. By encouraging the participation of women in science, it is a valuable investment in the Nation's future scientific vitality.
