U.S.- Chile Program: Numerical Simulation of Exitaxial Growth

9400310 Schuller这个美洲项目奖将支持加州大学圣地亚哥分校的Ivan Schuller博士与智利圣地亚哥卡托利卡大学的Ricardo Ramirez教授在磁性薄膜领域进行理论和实验合作。建议的研究旨在以定量的方式理解薄膜生长。从实验的角度来看，薄膜和界面将使用几种生长技术和各种结构和化学表征技术来表征。Ramirez教授一直在智利进行薄膜生长的理论研究，而Schuller博士正在美国进行同一领域的实验计划。该奖项将允许两个计划相结合。这一领域对于从事需要薄膜和多层膜金属生长和表征的技术的研究人员来说非常重要。这些领域包括磁记录产业、传感器技术，以及从巨磁电阻现象中发展出来的新技术。***

9400310 Schuller This Americas Program award will support Dr. Ivan Schuller of the University of California, San Diego, in a theoretical-experimental collaboration in the field of magnetic thin films, with Prof. Ricardo Ramirez of the Universidad Catolica, Santiago, Chile. The studies proposed are geared towards understanding thin film growth in a quantitative fashion. From the experimental point of view thin films and interfaces will be characterized using several growth techniques and a large variety of structural and chemical characterization techniques. Prof.Ramirez has been conducting theoretical studies of thin film growth in Chile, while Dr. Schuller has an experimental program in the same field underway in the U.S. This award will allow coupling of both programs. The area is of importance to researchers working in technologies requiring thin films and multilayer film metallic growth and characterization. These include the magnetic recording industry, sensor technology, and new technologies growing out of giant magneto- resistance phenomena. ***
