U.S.-Sweden Cooperative Research: Soft X-Ray Fluorescence Studies of Electronic Structure in Organic Solids

这个为期三年的奖项支持波士顿大学的凯文·e·史密斯和瑞典乌普萨拉大学的约瑟夫·诺德格伦进行的美国-瑞典合作研究。目的是利用一种强大的新型电子结构探针：软x射线荧光光谱（SXF）来研究有机导体中的电子现象。这位美国研究者为这次合作带来了准低维固体电子结构和实验方面的专业知识。这是由瑞典在SXF光谱领域的专业知识补充。实验将在两个主要的欧洲同步辐射设施进行，包括瑞典隆德的新MAX II设施和德国汉堡Hasylab的DORIS III环。该项目将促进对复杂固体中基本物理过程的理解，并提供学习新的光谱技术的机会。

This three-year award supports U.S.-Sweden collaborative research between Kevin E. Smith of Boston University and Joseph Nordgren of Uppsala University, Sweden. The objective is to investigate electronic phenomena in organic conductors using a powerful new electronic structure probe: soft x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (SXF). The U.S. investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in the electronic structure of quasi-low dimension solids and experimentation. This is complemented by Swedish expertise in the area of SXF spectroscopy. The experiments will take place at two major European synchrotron radiation facilities, including the new MAX II facility at Lund, Sweden and the DORIS III ring at Hasylab in Hamburg, Germany. The project will advance understanding of the basic physical processes in complex solids and provides the opportunity to learn a new spectroscopic technique.
