US-Nepal Cooperative Research: Theoretical and Experimental Investigations on Some Current Electronic Structure Related Topics in Condensed Matter Systems and Ozone-UV Interaction

0118022描述：该奖项支持美国-尼泊尔合作研究，题为“凝聚态系统和臭氧-紫外线相互作用中一些当前电子结构相关主题的理论和实验研究”。这是由奥尔巴尼大学理论电子结构和性质研究小组、纽约州立大学、特里布万大学（TU）凝聚态和大气物理研究小组以及中佛罗里达大学（UCF）凝聚态和材料物理实验研究小组发起的一项活动。该项目涵盖五个不同的研究领域，包括玻璃，处理太阳辐射和高层大气化学的量子计算，材料中电子分布的超精细相互作用研究，尼泊尔的臭氧消耗和环境影响，以及TU的太阳能电池制造能力。范围：该奖项启动了两所美国大学和尼泊尔Tribhuvan大学之间的联合活动。根据这些机构中理论和实验小组的共同兴趣选择主题，以补充他们的专业知识并增强三个小组之间未来互动的潜力。TU的教师和学生将获得穆斯堡尔光谱和材料电子结构表征的实验方面的专业知识。从长远来看，太阳能电池薄膜和纳米晶颗粒的研究符合尼泊尔国家的发展利益。这是美国-尼泊尔合作科学计划支持的第一个物理学合作研究项目。它由国际项目部和材料研究部，凝聚态物理项目共同支持。

0118022Das Description: This award supports US-Nepal cooperative research entitled "Theoretical and Experimental Investigations on Some Current Electronic Structure Related Topics in Condensed Matter Systems and Ozone-UV Interaction." This is an initiating activity among the Theoretical Electronic Structure and Properties Research Group, University at Albany, State University of New York, the Condensed Matter and Atmospheric Physics Research Group, Tribhuvan University (TU), and the Condensed Matter and Materials Physics Experimental Research Group, University of Central Florida (UCF). This project covers five diverse areas of research that include glasses, quantum computation dealing with solar radiation and upper atmosphere chemistry, studies of hyperfine interactions of electron distributions in materials, ozone depletion and environmental impacts in Nepal, and a solar cell fabrication capability at TU. Scope: This award launches joint activities between two US universities and the Tribhuvan University, Nepal. Topics were selected according to common interests at these institutions between theory and experimental groups in a way that complement their expertise and enhance the potential for future interactions among the three groups. Faculty and students at TU will gain expertise in experimental aspects of Moessbauer spectroscopy and characterization of electronic structures of materials. In the long-term, research on solar cell thin films and nanocrystalline particles corresponds to Nepalese national development interests. This is the first cooperative research project in physics supported under the US-Nepal Cooperative Science Program. It is jointly supported by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Materials Research, Condensed Matter Physics Program.
