Presidential Faculty Fellow/Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies

这位总统学院研究员的研究项目是在分析和表面化学的一般领域，以及核磁共振(核磁共振)光谱学的子领域。在该奖项的两年任期内，沙卡教授和他的学生将利用创新的魔角旋转、交叉极化、质子去耦合和脉冲序列技术从核磁共振谱中获得化学信息，这是选定的样品局部区域的特征。这种材料表征方法在有机固体和聚合物、界面反应、同位素掺杂多孔材料、层状固体和材料缺陷分析等领域有着广泛的应用。包括沙卡教授的总统青年研究人员奖(CHE-8957560)的最后两年，这项总统学院奖学金将极大地帮助他继续发展其重要的、创新的和富有成效的研究和研究培训计划。

The research project of this Presidential Faculty Fellow is in the general area of analytical and surface chemistry and in the subfield of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. During the two-year tenure of this award, Professor Shaka and his students will utilize innovative magic angle spinning, cross polarization, proton decoupling, and pulse sequence techniques to obtain chemical information from NMR spectra that is characteristic of selected, local regions of samples. This approach to materials characterization has broad applications in such areas as organic solids and polymers, reactions at interfaces, isotopically doped porus materials, layered solids, and materials defects analysis. %%% This Presidential Faculty Fellowship, which subsumes the final two years of Professor Shaka's Presidential Young Investigator Award (CHE-8957560), should significantly assist him in the continuing development of his vital, innovative, and productive program of research and research training.
