0114624香农描述：该奖项支持阿拉巴马州奥本大学化学系柯蒂斯·香农博士和土耳其埃尔祖鲁姆阿塔图尔克大学化学系单位·德米尔博士之间的合作研究项目。这些研究人员计划研究电化学原子层外延(EC-ALE)生长材料中薄膜结构和生长动力学的基本方面。这是一种用于材料生长的室温技术，可用于在各种导电衬底上以逐层方式生产高质量的外延取向多晶沉积。他们将在他们的研究中特别使用两个目标，以更好地理解增长机制。这些是对薄膜结构的扫描探针显微镜研究和对EC-ALE生长周期中沉积过程的计时安培研究。范围：该奖项将允许具有互补专业知识的美国科学家和土耳其科学家将他们的资源集中在一项互惠互利的研究中。香农博士是电合成薄膜材料及其扫描探针技术表征方面的知名研究人员。德米尔博士是一位年轻的科学家，在电沉积动力学方面拥有专业知识。该项目将涉及一名来自奥本大学的美国研究生，他将与这位外国合作科学家合作。

0114624ShannonDescription: This award supports a collaborative research project between Dr. Curtis Shannon, Department of Chemistry, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama and Dr. Unit Demir, Department of Chemistry, Ataturk University, Erzurum, Turkey. These investigators plan to study fundamental aspects of thin film structure and growth kinetics in materials grown by electrochemical atomic layer epitaxy (EC-ALE). This is a room temperature technique for materials growth that can be used to produce high quality, epitaxially oriented polycrystalline deposits in a layer-by-layer fashion on a wide variety of conducting substrates. They will specifically use in their studies two goals for better understanding of the growth mechanism. These are scanning probe microscopy studies of thin film structure and chronoamperometric studies of the rate of deposition processes during the EC-ALE growth cycle.Scope: This award will allow a US scientist and a Turkish scientist with complementary expertise to pool their resources in a mutually beneficial study. Dr. Shannon is an established researcher in the electrosynthesis of thin film materials and their characterization by scanning probe techniques. Dr. Demir is a young scientist with expertise in the kinetics of electrodeposition. The project will involve a US graduate student from Auburn University who will work with the foreign collaborating scientist.
