技术叙述： 这个美国-埃及合作研究项目涉及 宾夕法尼亚大学和艾因夏姆斯大学在 金属电磁现象的一般范围 表面。 项目资金将使艾因团队能够 沙姆斯大学工作的各个时期， 大学埃利亚斯·伯斯坦博士的实验室 宾夕法尼亚 合作研究将调查 实验和理论上的贡献， 表面电子激发的线性和非线性 贵金属表面的光学响应。 研究成果 预计将确定表面的具体性质 涉及的兴奋。 该材料研究项目完成了该计划 促进科学知识的目标， 美国和埃及的顶尖专家将联合收割机 人才互补，集中研究资源， 有着强烈的共同利益和能力。

Technical Narrative: This U.S.-Egypt collaborative research project involving the University of Pennsylvania and Ain Shams University is in the general area of electromagnetic phenomena at metal surfaces. Project funding will allow the team from Ain Shams University to work for various periods of time in the laboratory of Dr. Elias Burstein at the University of Pennsylvania. The collaborative research will investigate experimentally and theoretically the contributions from surface electronic excitations to the linear and nonlinear optical response of noble metal surfaces. Research results are expected to ascertain the specific nature of the surface excitations involved. This project in materials research fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Egypt to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
