US-India Cooperative Reserach: High Speed Laser Synthesis of Amorphous Surface Structures

描述：该奖项支持名为“高速激光合成非晶态表面结构”的美印合作研究。田纳西大学空间研究所(UTK)教授纳伦德拉·达霍特和印度哈拉格普尔理工学院(IITK)教授Indranil Manna将尝试开发一种基于激光的新技术，以生产非晶态金属合金或玻璃。他们将进行微观结构、耐腐蚀/耐磨性能以及热/质传递分析的实验和基础研究。如果成功，这项研究将有助于对亚稳态微结构的稳定性和使用的基础知识，并可能有助于新的激光技术。合作范围：此次合作将利用UTK和IITK工程学院在先进材料和加工方面的互补优势。参与这项研究(表面工程、激光材料加工和结构材料)的学生拥有独特多样的专业知识和知识基础，这将使两所大学的学生受益。印度信息技术研究院是印度最重要的技术机构之一。UTK在教师参与外联计划以招收少数族裔和代表性不足的学生群体和高中生以提高对科学和工程的兴趣方面有着良好的记录。印度政府科技部(DST)在NSF/DST计划下共同支持这一项目。

Professors Narendra Dahotre, University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTK) and Indranil Manna, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IITK) will attempt to develop a new laser based technology to produce amorphous metallic alloys or glasses. They will conduct both experimental and fundamental studies of microstructures, properties of corrosion/wear resistance, and heat/mass transfer analysis. If successful, this research will contribute to fundamental knowledge about the stability and use of metastable mircrostructures and, possibly, new laser technology. Scope: This collaboration will exploit complementary strengths of the UTK and IITK engineering colleges in advanced materials and processing. The uniquely diverse expertise and knowledge base of those involved in this research (surface engineering, laser materials processing and structure-materials) will benefit students at both institutions. The IITK is one of India's premier technological institutions. The UTK has a strong track record of faculty participation in outreach programs to recruit minority and under-represented student groups and high-school students to enhance interest in science and engineering. The Government of India's Department of Science and Technology (DST) jointly supports this project under the NSF/DST program.
