U.S.-Australia Cooperative Research on the Spectroscopy and Dynamics of Halocarbon Degradation Processes

该奖项支持韦恩州立大学的约瑟夫·S·弗朗西斯科教授和麻省理工学院的杰弗里·I·斯坦菲尔德教授以及研究生访问澳大利亚昆士兰州布里斯班的格里菲斯大学，与阿德莱德大学的艾伦·E·W·奈特教授、阿德莱德大学的基思·D·金教授和弗林德斯大学的沃伦·D·劳伦斯教授合作，研究卤代烃降解过程的光谱和动力学。简单的含硅分子的反应对于理解硅表面的沉积和腐蚀过程至关重要，硅表面的沉积和腐蚀过程广泛应用于电子和光伏技术。在这个合作研究项目中，美国和澳大利亚的三个大学研究实验室的互补的实验和技术专业知识已经被用来阐明这个问题。在美澳合作项目的支持下，研究生在参与的研究小组之间进行了为期三到六个月的交流，并举行了为期三天的研讨会，包括主要调查人员和初级研究人员在内，于1990年6月举行了一次会议。1990年6月1日至4日在西北部拜伦湾举办的“激光在分子动力学和分子结构分析中的应用”讲习班，包括来自美国和澳大利亚团体的15名与会者的发言。

This award supports visits by Professors Joseph S. Francisco of Wayne State University and Jeffrey I. Steinfeld of M.I.T., along with graduate students, to Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, to work with Professors Alan E.W. Knight, Keith D. King of the University of Adelaide and Warren D. Lawrence of The Flinders University, on the spectroscopy and dynamics of halocarbon degradation processes. The reactions of simple silicon-containing molecules are of key importance in understanding deposition and etching processes taking place at silicon surfaces, which are widely used in electronics and photovoltaic technology. In this cooperative research program, the complementary experimental and technical expertise of three university research laboratories in the U.S. and Australia has been brought to bear on elucidating this problem. With support from the U.S.-Australia Cooperative Program, graduate students were exchanged for three- to six-month periods between the research groups involved, and a three-day symposium, including the principal investigators and junior research personnel, took place in June 1990. A workshop on "Laser Applications in Molecular Dynamics and Molecular Structure Analyses" held at Byron Bay, N.S.W., on 1-4 June 1990, included presentations by fifteen participants from the U.S. and Australian groups.
