U.S.-Taiwan Cooperative Research: Surface Characterization of Catalytic Materials by Positron Annihilation Radiation Lineshape Measurements

这是路易斯维尔大学黄伟峰博士与台湾大学曾鹏凯教授提出的为期三年的合作研究项目。这项建议是为了开发一种表征沸石内表面的技术。它要求提供资金支持私家侦探S前往台湾，以及他在联合催化公司的美国工业合作伙伴用于样品准备的费用。黄维峰博士和他的台湾合作者曾教授是这一领域的杰出研究人员。黄博士在正电子湮没研究方面卓有成效，受到同事们的高度评价。拟议的合作是互惠互利的。美国首席研究员可以使用他的校园中没有的设备，并可以提供他在进行2D-ACAR测量方面的专业知识。如果这种方法被证明是成功的，它可能会对使用沸石催化剂的化工和石油行业做出重大贡献。该项目由国家科学基金会和台湾国家科学委员会(NSC)共同支持，后者为实验室运营提供主要支持。在这种情况下，来自NSF的适度支持被NSC广泛利用。

This is a three year cooperative research project proposed by Dr. Wei-Feng Huang, University of Louisville, and Professor P.K. Tseng, National Taiwan University. This proposal is to develop a technique to characterize the internal surface of zeolite. It requests funds to support the P.I.'s travels to Taiwan and expenses of his U.S. industrial collaborator at United Catalysts Inc. for sample preparation. Dr. Wei-Feng Huang and his Taiwan collaborator (Prof. Tseng) are excellent researchers in this area. Dr. Huang has been productive and is highly regarded by his colleagues in positron annihilation research. The proposed collaboration is mutually beneficial. The U.S. principal investigator gains access to equipment that is not available to him on his campus and can provide his expertise in conducting the 2D-ACAR measurements. If this method proves to be successful, it could make a significant contribution to the chemical and petroleum industries, which utilize zeolite catalysts. This project is jointly supported by the NSF and the Taiwan National Science Council (NSC), which provides major support for laboratory operations. The modest support from the NSF in this case is extensively leveraged by the NSC.
