RUI: Intercalation of Low Dimensional Solids

小行星9612873 这个很好的综合研究本科院校（RUI）的建议，促进教育和研究，涉及本科生以及研究生在低维固体的研究。 它将集中在各种化合物，如石墨，二硫属化物，超导铜酸盐和镍酸盐，和有机金属，所有这些都具有层状结构所表现出的共同性质。 要研究的共同特性包括进行涉及不同供体/受体基团的嵌入反应以及金属到非金属到超导相变的能力。 将用于这些调查的方法包括电子自旋共振和X射线吸收光谱。 插层反应用于合成低维固体，作为高负荷电池、催化剂和固体润滑剂的材料。 这些材料的合成和光谱测量的评价将促进本科生和硕士生坚实的实验室经验。 通过在这个基础和技术上重要的材料领域培训学生，将研究与教育相结合，再加上IBM与普渡大学、圣母大学和剑桥大学（英国）的密切合作，使这成为RUI最独特的项目。 ***

9612873 Acrivos This well integrated Research for Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) proposal advances education and research by involving undergraduate as well as graduate students in a study of low dimensional solids. It will focus on common properties exhibited by a variety of compounds such as graphite, dichalcogenides, superconducting cuprates and nickelates, and organic metals, all of which have layered structures. Common properties to be studied include the ability to undergo intercalation reactions involving different donor/acceptor groups as well as metal to non metal to superconducting phase transitions. Methods that will be used in these investigations include electron spin resonance and x-ray absorption spectroscopy. %%% Intercalation reactions are used for the synthesis of low dimensional solids as materials for high-duty batteries, catalysts, and solid lubricants. The synthesis of these materials and their evaluation by spectroscopic measurements will promote solid laboratory experiences for the undergraduate and masters degree students. The integration of research with education through the training of students in this fundamentally and technologically significant materials area, together with strong collaborations at IBM and the Universities of Purdue, Notre Dame, and Cambridge (UK), make this a most unique RUI program. ***
