U.S.-China Cooperative Research (AWARE/REU): Structural Origin of Photosensitivity in Lead Glasses

这是一个为期36个月的美国-中国合作项目，由欧洲光学学院的Mario Affatigato博士和上海复旦大学的王文成教授、中国教授共同完成，旨在研究铅玻璃光敏结构的起源，并为四名美国本科生提供REU培训机会。这项研究旨在揭示玻璃感光性的结构起源。这次合作利用了COE学院在玻璃合成和结构表征方面的专业知识，以及复旦大学在光学性质方面的工作。两个校区之间的专业知识是互惠互利的。该项目最令人印象深刻的部分是美国学生可以从这一合作中获得的教育利益。这些交流将丰富COE学院学生的研究经验，这是一所本科师范学院。这个项目为学生在本科教育中提供了重要的研究经验。该提案将得到中国国家科学基金和国家自然科学基金的联合支持。

0113801AffatigatoThis is a 36 month U.S.- China cooperative project between Dr. Mario Affatigato of Coe College and Professor Wencheng Wang, Fudan University, Shanghai, China, to study the structural origin of photosensitivity in lead glasses, and to provide an REU training opportunity for four U.S. undergraduate students. This research is designed to uncover the structural origin of photosensitivity in glass. This collaboration makes use of Coe College's expertise in glass synthesis and structure characterization, and Fudan University's work on optical properties. The expertise between the two campuses is mutually beneficial. The most impressive part of this project is the educational benefit that the U.S. students can derive from this collaboration. These exchanges will enrich the research experience of the students at Coe College, which is an undergraduate teaching college. This project provides the students a significant research experience in their undergraduate education. The proposal will be jointly supported by the National Science Foundation of China and the NSF.
