US-France Cooperative Research: Local Structural Studies of Thin Manganite Films Under High Pressure and High Magnetic Fields

这项为期三年的美法材料研究合作奖涉及新泽西理工学院和法国格勒诺布尔国立高等物理学院的研究人员和学生。美国的Trevor A. Tyson和法国的Catherine Dubourdieu领导了超薄膜结构和传输特性的联合研究。研究人员将探索强磁场和高压对输运和局部结构的影响。首席研究员和一名研究生将前往格勒诺布尔学习法国制造薄膜的技术。在他们访问新泽西期间，法国小组将进行高压测量（使用光学系统）和高场局部结构测量。该奖项代表了美国方面对NSF和CNRS的平行提案。美国国家科学基金会将支付美国研究员和研究生的旅费和生活费。法国科学研究中心将支持法国研究人员和研究生访问美国。该研究将促进对锰矿材料的结构、电子和磁性能的理解。

0233316TysonThis three-year award for US-France collaboration in materials research involves researchers and students at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and the Ecole National Superieure de Physique in Grenoble, France. Trevor A. Tyson in the US and Catherine Dubourdieu in France lead the joint research effort on studies of structural and transport properties in ultra-thin films. The investigators will explore the effect of high magnetic fields and high pressure on transport and local structure. The principal investigator and a graduate student will travel to Grenoble to study French techniques for growing thins films. During their visit to New Jersey, the French group will carry out high-pressure measurements (using an optical system) and high field local structure measurements. This award represents the US side of parallel proposals to the NSF and the CNRS. NSF will cover travel funds and living expenses for the US investigator and graduate student. CNRS will support visits by French researchers and graduate students to the United States. The research will advance understanding of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of manganite materials.
