U.S.-Czech Materials Research on Magnetism and Transport Properties of 5f Intermetallics under High Pressure

这个由肯塔基大学的Lance De Long博士和布拉格查尔斯大学的Vladimir Sechovsky博士合作的美国-捷克研究项目的主要目标是研究高压和磁场对含铀化合物的电子结构、磁各向异性和电输运的影响。对这项工作的贡献将强调美国方面的高压测量，包括特殊的振动簧片和扭矩技术，以及捷克方面的高质量单晶样品制备和结构表征。这些结果有望提高我们在局域化边界上研究这类金属间材料的能力。在这项工作的过程中，研究人员还打算在佛罗里达州塔拉哈西的国家高磁场实验室建造一个精密的高磁场振动磁力计。这个凝聚态物理的联合研究项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和东欧的领先专家能够结合互补的人才，并在共同感兴趣和有能力的领域汇集资源。?？

INT 9515504 De Long The primary objective of this U.S.-Czech research project between Dr. Lance De Long of the University of Kentucky and Dr. Vladimir Sechovsky of Charles University, Prague, is to examine the effects of high pressure and magnetic field on electronic structure, magnetic anisotropy and electrical transport in Uranium containing compounds. Contributions to the work will emphasize high-pressure measurements on the U.S. side involving special vibrating reed and torque techniques and, on the Czech side, high quality single crystal sample preparation and structural characterization. Results are expected to improve our ability to study such intermetallic materials across the localization boundary. In the course of this work, the researchers also intend to construct a refined high field vibrating magnetometer located at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. This joint research project in condensed matter physics fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and pool resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. ??
