NSF-CGP Fellowship: The Influence of Interfacial Chemistry on Precipitate Growth and Stability

9600383雷诺兹该提案支持弗吉尼亚理工大学材料科学与工程系的威廉·雷诺兹博士和美国国家金属研究所计算材料科学部的本野一宏博士的合作。项目资金将使雷诺兹博士能够在日本NRIM驻留一年，利用原子探针/场离子显微镜研究金属中沉淀物的界面化学。雷诺兹博士之前曾研究过金属相变的热力学和结晶学方面的问题。Hono博士应用原子探针/场离子显微镜在原子尺度上研究铝合金、铁合金和磁性材料的化学。雷诺兹博士将把他的专业知识与霍诺博士的专业知识结合起来，研究原子尺度化学对沉淀生长和稳定性的影响。这项建议汇集了两个国家在物理冶金和相变领域工作的研究科学家。这位美国科学家将有机会熟悉NRIM的研究技术、设备和设施，同时为整个研究工作做出贡献。因此，这项建议实现了该计划通过国际合作交流和转让科学知识的目标。***

9600383 Reynolds This proposal supports the collaboration of Dr. William Reynolds of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Virginia Tech and Dr. Kazuhiro Hono of the Computational Materials Science Division of the National Research Institute for Metals (NRIM). Project funding will enable Dr. Reynolds to spend one year in Japan, resident at NRIM, in order to study the interfacial chemistry of precipitates in metals using atom probe/field ion microscopy. Dr. Reynolds has previously studied thermodynamic and crystallographic aspects of phase transformations in metals. Dr. Hono has applied atom probe/field ion microscopy to study the chemistry of aluminum alloys, ferrous alloys, and magnetic materials at the atomic scale. Dr. Reynolds will combine his expertise with that of Dr. Hono to study the influence of atomic-scale chemistry on precipitate growth and stability. This proposal brings together research scientists from two countries working in the area of physical metallurgy and phase transformations. The U.S. scientist will have the opportunity to become familiar with research techniques, equipment, and facilities at NRIM while contributing to the overall research effort. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration. ***
