U.S.-China Cooperative Research: Magnetic Properties of Nanostructured Materials

[600472][简健]约翰霍普金斯大学和中国南京大学提出了一项新的纳米结构材料磁性的国际合作研究计划。这些研究包括磁光效应（Kerr和Faraday效应）和巨磁输运性质在三种纳米结构材料上的研究：多层、纳米线阵列和颗粒固体，这是基础和技术重要性的激动人心的领域。与此同时，中国科学家还向中国国家自然科学基金委员会提交了一份关于他们的研究费用的提案。纳米结构材料为探索基本物理相互作用提供了许多可能性。在数据记录或传感器等迅速扩大的工业部门中，使用这种材料的未来进展将是重要的。

9600472 Chien A new international collaborative research program on the magnetic properties of nanostuctured materials between the Johns Hopkins University and Nanjing University in China is proposed. The studies include both the magneto- optical effect (Kerr and Faraday effects) and giant magneto- transport properties on three classes of nanostructured materials: multilayers, arrays of nanowires,and granular solids, which are exciting fields of fundamental and technological importance. In parallel to this proposal, the Chinese scientists are also submitting a proposal to the National Natural Science Foundation of China for their portions of the research expenses. Nanostructured materials allow many possibilities for probing fundamental physical interactions. Future advances in use of such materials will be important in rapidly expanding industrial sectors such as data recording or sensors.
