U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research: Synthesis and Structure of Ordered Surface Alloys: Alkali Metals Deposited on Transition and Noble Metals

9417179货车霍韦 该奖项支持劳伦斯伯克利实验室的Michel货车霍韦博士和北海道大学的Hiroshi Tochihara教授之间为期两年的合作研究项目。合作者将对通过在过渡金属和贵金属上沉积碱金属而获得的有序表面合金的原子尺度表面结构进行研究。 这些表面材料在催化和磁超晶格性质等重要技术中具有相当大的兴趣。 将使用的主要技术是低能电子衍射（LEED）。 样品制备和LEED强度测量将在北海道大学Tochihara教授的实验室进行，Tochihara教授对复杂的碱金属吸附结构特别有经验。 测量数据的结构分析将由伯克利的货车霍韦博士进行。 通过结合这些专业知识，这两个小组可以实现更深入的理解和更快的进展比任何一组单独。 因此，该提案实现了该计划通过国际合作交流和转让科学知识的目标。 ***

9417179 Van Hove This award supports a two-year cooperative research project between Dr. Michel Van Hove of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and Professor Hiroshi Tochihara of Hokkaido University. The collaborators will conduct research on atomic-scale surface structures of ordered surface alloys obtained by depositing alkali metals on transition and noble metals. These surface materials are of considerable interest in such important technologies as catalysis and magnetic superlattice properties. The main technique to be used will be low energy electron diffraction (LEED.) The sample preparations and LEED intensity measurements will be carried out at Hokkaido University in the laboratory of Professor Tochihara who is particularly well-experienced with complex alkali metal adsorption structures. The structural analysis of the measured data will be performed by Dr. Van Hove in Berkeley. By combining these expertises, the two groups can achieve a deeper understanding and more rapid progress than can either group alone. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration. ***
