U.S.-Japan Collaborative Project on Photoinduced Charge Transfer

9507693米勒该补助金支持罗切斯特大学（UR）和日本冈崎的分子科学研究所（IMS）之间为期36个月的研究合作和教师交流计划。 该交流计划将使IMS和UR的研究人员能够延长研究假期，以便进行无法在自己的机构进行的研究。 通过NSF的资助，两名UR博士后或研究生每年将在IMS实验室度过长达六个月的时间;此外，他们的研究顾问将在每次研究交流的开始和结束时对日本进行短期访问。 通过日本的资助，IMS研究科学家将在UR的实验室工作。 在此交流下进行的研究将检查控制各种介质和系统中电子转移，电荷分离和电荷传输的速率和效率的基本因素。 它进一步研究了如何操纵这些因素，以获得新的化学和有用的反应产物，这些产物可能应用于基于光科学的技术的材料和设备。 这项研究将利用其中一个地点现有的高度先进的设备。 通过获得仪器和专业知识方面的额外资源，美国学生和教师的工作质量将得到显著提高。 ***

9507693 Miller This grant supports a 36-month research collaboration and faculty exchange program between the University of Rochester (UR) and the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) in Okazaki, Japan. This exchange program will enable extended research leaves for researchers at IMS and the UR in order to conduct research that cannot be done at their own institutions. Through NSF funding, two UR postdoctoral or graduate students will spend up to six months in IMS laboratories per year; in addition, their research advisors will make short-term visits to Japan at the beginning and end of each research exchange. Through funding from Japan, IMS research scientists will work in laboratories at the UR. Research to be conducted under this exchange examines fundamental factors that control the rates and efficiencies of electron transfer, charge separation, and charge transport in various media and systems. It further examines how these factors can be manipulated to obtain new chemistry and useful reaction products that may have application to materials and devices for photoscience-based technology. The research will take advantage of highly advanced equipment available at one or the other of the sites. The quality of the work done by the American students and faculty will be significantly enhanced by access to additional resources both in instrumentation and expertise. ***
