这是一个研究经验的本科生网站补助金。 该奖项允许本科生参加一个 在材料领域的研究计划的监督下， 教师积极参与研究。 学生 从纽约州立大学的学生中招募 布罗克波特的约克、伊利社区学院和门罗县 社区大学。 特别强调征聘 代表性不足的少数民族和经济上处于不利地位的群体。 学生在操作和建设科学的训练， 通常用于低温研究的仪器 物理学，实验计划，数据分析， 熟悉科学文献，撰写报告， 口头报告结果。 资金用于 四名学生的参与。 研究是在 稀土掺杂氟化物玻璃系统的磁性 对自旋玻璃系统感兴趣。 该研究是在 两名学生和一名教师组成的小组， 年内 学生们在全国范围内展示他们的成果 低温物理学会议。 该方案增强了 目前的研究活动，以及增加的数量， 受过科学训练的人。 希望这能帮助- 经验将成为吸引和留住人才的刺激因素 高天赋的学生从事教学和研究工作。

This is a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site grant. The award permits undergraduate students to participate in a research program in the materials field under the supervision of faculty members actively engaged in research. Students are recruited from the student body at the State University of New York at Brockport, Erie Community College, and Monroe County Community College. Strong emphasis is placed on recruitment of under-represented minority and economically disadvantaged groups. Students are trained in operation and construction of scientific instruments typically used for research in low temperature physics, planning of experiments, analysis of data, familiarization with the scientific literature, report writing, and oral presentation of results. Funding is provided for participation by four students. Research is performed on magnetic properties of rare earth doped fluoride glass systems with interest in spin glass systems. The research is performed in teams of two students and one faculty member, and continues throughout the year. Students present their results at national conferences in low temperature physics. The program enhances current research activities as well as adding to the number of scientifically trained individuals. It is hoped that this hands- on experience will serve as a stimulus to attract and retain highly-gifted students into careers in teaching and research.
