US-India Cooperative Research: Electroceramic Thin Films for Microelectronic Devices

0097018 Katiyar描述：该奖项支持美国和印度在微电子器件用电子陶瓷薄膜方面的合作研究项目。 合作者是Ram S。波多黎各大学的卡蒂亚尔和迪内希·C·印度理工学院坎普尔（IITK）的Agrawal说。 他们将研究电瓷薄膜的基本结构-性能关系，特别是新型铁电（FE）和微波介电材料。 他们将使用各种技术来探测它们的微米到纳米尺度的组成、结构和特性。 其目的是提高这些新材料的科学知识，并考虑其在存储器和微波器件中的应用。适用范围：该奖项将继续Katiyar和Agrawal之间的合作以及普遍定期审议和IITK之间的伙伴关系，这是由国际方案司在美国印度基金的支持下发起的。IITK是印度首屈一指的研究机构之一，拥有高质量的研究和研究生/本科生培训的优秀基础设施。 普遍定期审议的研究活动急剧增加，Katiyar在那里配备了一个优秀的设施，用于电子陶瓷薄膜材料的研究。 他是一流的研究员，指导过一大批学生，其中许多人在各自领域做出了突出贡献。 该奖项由国际项目部和材料研究部共同支持。

0097018KatiyarDescription: This award supports a US-India cooperative research project on Electroceramic Thin Films for Microelectronic Devices. The collaborators are Ram S. Katiyar of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) and Dinesh C. Agrawal of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IITK). They will study fundamental structure-property relationships in electroceramic thin films, particularly novel ferroelectric (FE) and microwave dielectric materials. They will use various techniques to probe their micro- to nano-scale composition, structure and characterization. The aim is to enhance scientific knowledge of these novel materials and to consider their applications in memory and microwave devices. Scope: This award will continue a collaboration between Katiyar and Agrawal and a partnership between the UPR and the IITK that was initiated by the Division of International Programs with support from the United States India Fund. The IITK is one of the premier research institutions in India with excellent infrastructure for high quality research and training of graduate/undergraduate students. UPR research activities have risen sharply and Katiyar has equipped an excellent facility there for research in electroceramic thin film materials. He is a first-rate researcher and has mentored a large number of students, many of whom have made outstanding contributions in their respective fields. This award is jointly supported by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Materials Research.
