U.S.- Jordan Cooperative Research: Electrical Studies of Ferroelectric Thin Films

描述：该提案支持科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的J.F.Scott博士和L.Kazmersky博士、约旦大学安曼分校的R.Bitar博士和巴勒斯坦约旦河西岸比尔宰特大学的A.Shawabkah博士的合作。合作的目的是为铁电薄膜存储器产生真正的器件方程。项目资金将帮助支持比塔尔博士在科罗拉多大学的休假期间，并允许斯科特博士前往比塔尔博士所在的机构。约旦现有的设施有能力进行这项研究，因此，当比塔尔博士回到约旦时，研究可以继续进行。合作范围：拟议的合作将汇集来自美国和约旦的研究科学家(Shawabkah博士是约旦公民，也是Bitar博士)，他们在铁电薄膜领域工作。预计这种合作研究将导致铁电薄膜存储器的发展。比塔尔博士将有机会熟悉科罗拉多大学团队使用的技术，然后将这项技术转移到他家乡机构的设施中。因此，这项建议实现了发展中国家科学计划通过国际合作交流和转让科学知识的目标。

Description: This proposal supports the collaboration of Drs. J.F. Scott and L. Kazmersky of the University of Colorado at Boulder, Dr. R. Bitar, University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan and Dr. A. Shawabkah, Birzeit University, West Bank, Palestine. The purpose of the collaboration is to produce true device equations for ferroelectric film memories. Project funding will help support Dr. Bitar during his sabbatical stay at the University of Colorado as well as allow Dr. Scott to travel to Dr. Bitar's home institution. Existing facilities in Jordan are capable of carrying out this research, therefore, when Dr. Bitar returns to Jordan, studies can continue. Scope: The proposed collaboration will bring together research scientists from the U.S. and Jordan (Dr. Shawabkah is a Jordanian citizen as well as Dr. Bitar) working in the area of ferroelectric thin films. It is anticipated that this collaborative research will result in the development of ferroelectric thin film memories. Dr. Bitar will have an opportunity to familiarize himself with the techniques utilized by the team at the University of Colorado and then transfer this technology to facilities at his home institution. Therefore, this proposal fulfils objectives of the Science in Developing Countries Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration.
