RUI-Acquisition of Instrumentation for Measuring the Thermal Properties of Materials

材料仪器研究计划和主要研究仪器计划颁发的这一奖项将使罗文大学在一个以本科为主的机构提高固态科学的实验能力。该机构将购买附件，允许在现有的平台系统中进行温度测量。该奖项将支持罗文大学继续提高本科教师进行的研究的质量和重要性，增加当地的研究环境，促进研究和教育的融合。该仪器将支持涉及磁性、超导和热电材料领域材料研究中重要悬而未决问题的研究。具体地说，所要求的比热探测器将用于研究超磁体和巨磁阻性材料的理论预测。热导能力将适用于具有不同层间耦合的超导多层膜的能斯特效应测量。对于热电器件的候选材料，将测量热导率和塞贝克电压。学生研究人员将参与每一项活动。该仪器将加强现有的高级实验室和化学/物理研究课程。许多学生将受益于对被调查系统所展示的各种物理性质之间相互作用的第一手和原创观察。材料仪器研究计划和主要研究仪器计划颁发的这一奖项将使罗文大学在一个以本科为主的机构提高固态科学的实验能力。该机构将购买附件，允许在现有的平台系统中进行温度测量。该奖项将支持罗文大学继续提高本科教师进行的研究的质量和重要性，增加当地的研究环境，促进研究和教育的融合。该仪器将支持涉及磁性、超导和热电材料领域材料研究中重要悬而未决问题的研究。具体地说，所要求的比热探测器将用于研究超磁体和巨磁阻性材料的理论预测。学生研究人员将参与每一项活动。该仪器将加强现有的高级实验室和化学/物理研究课程。许多学生将受益于对被调查的系统所展示的各种物理性质之间的相互作用的第一手和原始观察。

This award from the Instrumentation for Materials Research program and the Major Research Instrumentation program will allow Rowan University to enhance experimental capabilities in the solid state sciences at a primarily undergraduate institution. The institution will purchase accessories allowing thermal measurements in an existing platform system. The award will support Rowan University to continue improving the quality and importance of research performed by undergraduate faculty, adding to the local research environment, and promoting the integration of research and education. The instrument will support research involving important outstanding questions in materials research in the areas of magnetic, superconducting and thermoelectric materials. Specifically, the requested specific heat probe will be used to investigate theoretical predictions for metamagnets and colossal magnetoresistive materials. The thermal conductivity capability will be adapted for Nernst effect measurements of superconducting multilayers with varying interlayer coupling. The thermal conductivity and Seebeck voltage will be measured for materials, which are candidates for thermoelectric devices. Student researchers will be involved in each of these activities. The instrumentation will enhance existing Advanced Laboratory and Chemistry/Physics Research courses. Many students will benefit from first-hand and original observation of the interplay between the various physical properties demonstrated by the systems under investigation.This award from the Instrumentation for Materials Research program and the Major Research Instrumentation program will allow Rowan University to enhance experimental capabilities in the solid state sciences at a primarily undergraduate institution.
