MRSEC: Materials Science and Engineering Research Center

9632275 SILCOX康奈尔大学材料研究科学与工程中心(MRSEC)支持四个跨学科小组的互动研究。MRSEC的主题是在纳米结构层面上对材料的理解和控制。该中心支持为本科生提供广泛研究经验的项目，以及面向纽约州北部大学预科学生的新项目，包括与当地一家科学博物馆的合作努力。该中心还将为探索性研究和新兴材料科学领域提供种子资金。MRSEC支持加强与业界的合作，并支持广泛共享的实验设施，这些设施也支持不是由MRSEC直接资助的研究。作为该中心寻找新材料的一部分，分子无机-有机复合材料小组将专注于制备和表征新型纳米级无机-有机分子复合材料的创新方法。研究玻璃上薄膜的小组建议对玻璃上的无序表面和薄膜沉积进行系统的研究。这项研究解决了一系列目前尚不清楚的现象，并可能应用于通信和显示行业日益增长的大面积电子产品。用高能离子束和原子束沉积薄膜可以大大改变薄膜的生长，导致新的结构、新的成分和具有更好性能的光滑的超薄膜。这个小组试图了解这些效应背后的微观过程。金属纳米结构小组将使用分离少数缺陷(甚至单个缺陷)的独特结构的纳米材料来阐明由缺陷和杂质引起的基本问题。磁相互作用、缺陷和杂质可以在量子系统中产生戏剧性的效应。该中心目前支持约35名高级研究员、8名博士后研究助理、12名技师或其他专业人员、36名研究生和25名本科生。MRSEC由约翰·西尔科克斯教授领导。康奈尔大学材料研究科学与工程中心(MRSEC)支持四个跨学科小组的互动研究。MRSEC的主题是在纳米结构层面上对材料的理解和控制。该中心支持为本科生提供广泛研究经验的项目，以及面向纽约州北部大学预科学生的新项目，包括与当地一家科学博物馆的合作努力。该中心还将为探索性研究和新兴材料科学领域提供种子资金。MRSEC支持加强与业界的合作，并支持广泛共享的实验设施，这些设施也支持不是由MRSEC直接资助的研究。作为该中心寻找新材料的一部分，分子无机-有机复合材料小组将专注于制备和表征新型纳米级无机-有机分子复合材料的创新方法。研究玻璃上薄膜的小组建议对玻璃上的无序表面和薄膜沉积进行系统的研究。这项研究解决了一系列目前尚不清楚的现象，并可能应用于通信和显示行业日益增长的大面积电子产品。用高能离子束和原子束沉积薄膜可以大大改变薄膜的生长，导致新的结构、新的成分和具有更好性能的光滑的超薄膜。这个小组试图了解这些效应背后的微观过程。金属纳米结构小组将使用分离少数缺陷(甚至单个缺陷)的独特结构的纳米材料来阐明由缺陷和杂质引起的基本问题。磁相互作用、缺陷和杂质可以在量子系统中产生戏剧性的效应。该中心目前支持约35名高级研究员、8名博士后研究助理、12名技术人员或其他专业人员、36名研究生和25名本科生。MRSEC由约翰·西尔科克斯教授领导。***

9632275 Silcox The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Cornell University supports interactive research in four interdisciplinary groups. The theme of the MRSEC is the understanding and control of materials at the nanostructural level. The Center supports an extensive program of research experience for undergraduates and a new program of outreach to pre-college students in upstate New York, including collaborative efforts with a local science museum. The Center will also support seed funding for exploratory research and emerging areas of materials science. The MRSEC supports enhanced collaboration with industry and extensive shared experimental facilities that also support research not directly funded by the MRSEC. As part of the Center's search for new materials, the molecular inorganic- organic composites group will focus on innovative approaches for preparing and characterizing novel nanoscale inorganic-organic molecular composites. The group studying thin films on glass proposes systematic studies of disordered surfaces and thin film deposition on glass. The research addresses a rich array of phenomena that are not currently understood, and has potential application for large area electronics, a growing segment of the communications and display industry. Thin film deposition by energetic ion and atom beams can alter thin film growth substantially, leading to new structures, new compositions, and smooth ultra-thin films with improved properties. This group seeks to understand the microscopic processes underlying these effects. Uniquely structured nanoscale materials that isolate a few defects (or even a single one) will be used by the metallic nanostructure group to elucidate fundamental issues arising from defects and impurities. Magnetic interactions, defects and impurities can produce dramatic effects in quantum systems. The Center currently supports about 35 senior investigators, 8 postdoctoral research associates, 12 t echnicians or other professionals, 36 graduate students, and 25 undergraduates. The MRSEC is directed by Professor John Silcox. %%% The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Cornell University supports interactive research in four interdisciplinary groups.
