所要求的仪器是Quantum Design制造的变温磁强计/悬浮式磁强计。获得磁强计对于主要研究人员的研究计划是绝对必要的，并将提高目前由ONR、NSF(DMR)、和能源部赠款，提供罗格斯大学目前无法提供的关键能力，用于以下化学和物理领域的各种材料的变温磁化率测量和其他磁性研究：1.高温超导铜氧化物的合成与表征2.准低维碱金属氧化钼青铜的合成、单晶生长及其结构、电子输运和磁性表征。3.新型三维网络氧化物材料的合成与表征，为固体高能量密度电池用固体电解液和正极材料的发展奠定了基础。4.具有准低维性质的过渡金属硫系化合物的制备与表征。5.电子材料的溶胶-凝胶合成。6.合成了价态不稳定的新型三元晶态和二元非晶态稀土/稀土化合物，并对其结构、电子、磁性和输运性质进行了研究。7.自旋交叉络合物的研究。8.硫代桥联的Fe(III)-Cu(II)二聚体的合成及其结构、电子和磁性的表征。

The instrumentation requested is a Variable Temperature Magnetometer/Susceptometer manufactured by Quantum Design. Acquisition of the magnetometer is absolutely essential for the research programs of the principal investigators and will enhance the productivity of research programs currently supported by ONR, NSF (DMR), and DOE grants by providing critical capability currently not available at Rutgers University for variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements and other magnetic studies of various materials in the following areas of chemistry and physics: 1. Synthesis and characterization of high temperature superconducting copper oxides. 2. Synthesis and single crystal growth of quasi low- dimensional alkali metal molybdenum oxide bronzes and characterization of their structural, electronic transport and magnetic properties. 3. Synthesis and characterization of new three-dimensional network oxide materials, which are proposed for the development of solid electrolytes and cathode materials for use in solid state high energy density batteries. 4. Preparation and characterization of transition metal chalcogenides with quasi low dimensional properties. 5. Sol-gel synthesis of electronic materials. 6. Synthesis of new ternary crystalline and binary amorphous rare/earth-compounds with unstable valence states, and the study of their structural, electronic, magnetic and transport properties. 7. Studies of Spin-Crossover Complexes. 8. Synthesis of thiolate-bridged Fe(III)-Cu(II) dimers as possible models for cytochrome c oxidase and characterization of their structural, electronic and magnetic properties.
