NSF-CGP Fellowship: Studies on Single Crystal Molybdenum Carbide

小行星9600323 该提案支持弗吉尼亚理工学院化学工程系的Ted Oyama博士和东京大学化学系的Yasuhiro Iwasawa博士的合作。 项目资金将使Oyama博士能够在日本东京大学居住一年，以研究单晶碳化钼的结构和吸附性能。 Oyama博士以前研究过碳化钼在支撑和非支撑粉末形式下的催化性能。 与岩泽教授的合作将允许使用岩泽教授实验室提供的先进物理化学工具对该系统进行基础研究。 这些包括超高真空光谱和扫描隧道显微镜。 这一提议使来自两个国家的研究科学家在新材料和催化领域工作。联合S.科学家在执行研究使命时，将有机会熟悉东京大学的研究技术、设备和设施。 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。 ***

9600323 Oyama This proposal supports the collaboration of Dr. Ted Oyama of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Dr. Yasuhiro Iwasawa of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Tokyo. Project funding will enable Dr. Oyama to spend one year in Japan, resident at the University of Tokyo, in order to study the structure and adsorption properties of single crystal molybdenum carbide. Dr. Oyama has previously studied the catalytic properties of molybdenum carbide in the form of supported and unsupported powders. The collaboration with Prof. Iwasawa will allow fundamental studies of the system using advanced physico-chemical tools available in Prof. Iwasawa's laboratory. These include ultra-high vacuum spectroscopies and scanning tunneling microscopy. This proposal brings toeether research scientists from two countries working in the area of new materials and catalysis. The U. S. scientist will have the opportunity to become familiar with research techniques, equipment, and facilities at the University of Tokyo while carrying out the research mission. This proposal thus fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration. ***
