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

这是一个为期三年的合作研究项目，由路易斯维尔大学黄伟锋博士和P.K.教授提出。曾，国立台湾大学。 本研究旨在发展一种表征沸石内表面的技术。 它要求资金支持P.I.他的台湾之行和他在美国的工业合作者联合催化剂公司的费用。用于样品制备。 黄伟峰博士和他的台湾合作者曾教授是这方面的优秀研究人员。 黄博士在正电子湮没研究方面卓有成效，受到同事的高度评价。 拟议的合作是互利的。 美国首席研究员可以使用他在校园里无法使用的设备，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，它可以为使用沸石催化剂的化学和石油工业做出重大贡献。 本计画由国家科学基金会与台湾国科会理事会共同赞助，后者为实验室运作提供主要支援。 在这种情况下，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.
