NSF Young Investigator

小行星9458005 具体而言，将使用高真空和环境压力扫描隧道显微镜与其他表面分析方法，原子模型和图像模拟一起研究用作部分氧化催化剂的钼和钒氧化物的表面结构。 特别令人感兴趣的是在还原和氧化反应和烃与表面的相互作用过程中的表面缺陷结构的演变。 该奖项将同时支持首席研究员开发多媒体教育工具，供材料系的教育工作者和学生使用。 目标是开发交互式程序，并配有解释性文本和图形，通过图形模拟来说明材料科学与工程中的基本概念（如晶体学和衍射）。 %%% 该奖项支持的研究目标是确定催化活性陶瓷材料的表面结构，以建立可用于先进材料开发的表面结构-性能关系。 首席研究员还计划开发多媒体教育工具，供材料系的教育工作者和学生使用。 ***

9458005 Rohrer Specifically, ultrahigh vacuum and ambient pressure scanning tunneling microscopy will be used together with other surface analysis methods, atomistic models, and image simulations to study the surface structure of the molybdenum and vanadium oxides that are used as partial oxidation catalysts. Of particular interest is the evolution of the surface defect structure during reduction and oxidation reactions and the interaction of hydrocarbons with the surface. this award will simultaneously support the Principal Investigator's efforts to develop multimedia educational tools for use by educators and students in Materials departments. The goal is to develop interactive programs, accompanied by explanatory text and graphics, that illustrate fundamental concepts in Material Science and Engineering (such as crystallography and diffraction) through graphic simulations. %%% The objective of the research supported by this award is to determine the surface structure of catalytically active ceramic materials in order to establish surface structure-property relationships that can be used for the development of advanced materials. The Principal Investigator also plans to develop multimedia educational tools for use by educators and students in materials departments. ***
