U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research: Generation and Detection of Transient Metal Containing Molecules

9314913 Steimle该奖项支持亚利桑那州立大学化学和生物化学系Timothy Steimle教授和日本冈崎国立研究所分子科学研究所Shuji Saito教授之间为期两年的合作研究项目。此外，亚利桑那州立大学的两名研究生以及东京大学和静冈大学的几名科学家将参与该项目。这种合作努力既是出于实际的科学利益，也是出于基本的科学利益。瞬时金属化合物是射频诱导化学刻蚀和化学气相沉积等工艺中的重要元素。拟议的毫米波和光学光谱探测计划将是监测和控制这类系统化学的敏感、非侵入性手段。此外，还有许多与含金属自由基有关的基础科学问题，其中最重要的是它们的电子和结构表征(即键长和键角、电子态分布等)。描述等)美国和日本的团队拥有互补的理论和实验专业知识。冈崎的科学家拥有半导体激光光谱能力；东京大学的科学家拥有傅里叶变换微波能力；静冈大学的科学家拥有毫米波能力。亚利桑那州立大学将对分子束样品进行连续染料激光光谱分析和泵浦/探头微波光学双共振。***

9314913 Steimle This award supports a two-year cooperative research project between Professor Timothy Steimle, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Arizona State University, and Professor Shuji Saito, Institute for Molecular Science, Okazaki National Research Institutes, Okazaki, Japan. In addition, two graduate students from Arizona State University and several scientists from Tokyo University and Shizuoka University will participate in the project. This collaborative effort is motivated by both practical and fundamental scientific interests. Transient metal containing compounds are important elements in processes such as rf- induced chemical etching and chemical vapor deposition. The proposed millimeter wave and optical spectroscopic detection schemes will be sensitive, non-invasive means of monitoring and controlling the chemistry of such systems. In addition, there are many fundamental scientific problems associated with metal containing radicals, not the least of which is their electronic and structural characterization (i.e. bond lengths and angles, electronic state distribution, m.o. description, etc.) The U.S. and Japanese teams have complementary theoretical and experimental expertise. The scientists at Okazaki have diode laser spectroscopic capabilities; the Tokyo University scientists have Fourier transform microwave capabilities, and the Shizuoka University group has millimeter wave capabilities. Cw-dye laser optical spectroscopy and pump/probe microwave optical double resonances of molecular beam samples will be performed at Arizona State University. ***
