F-V/SMS: A New Technique for Studying the Structure and Dynamics of Single Molecules and Nanoparticles

在这项由化学学部实验物理化学项目支持的奖项中，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的Paul Barbara教授将与他的学生和博士后同事一起研究荧光电压单分子光谱（F-V SMS）的发展，这是一种探测纳米材料和纳米材料基器件的分子水平特性和过程的强大工具。在这项研究中开发的具体技术、方法和理论模型将为研究未来电子应用中使用的技术重要材料提供强大的新工具，包括oled、医疗传感器和太阳能电池。除了该研究具有更广泛的科学影响外，该研究还将在Barbara教授的实验室培养两名女性博士后研究人员，以及培养研究生。芭芭拉教授和他的博士后和研究生同事也将参加“边境纳米”计划，该计划为处境不利的西班牙裔学生提供研究和教育机会。该项目由Barbara教授于2002年创立。

In this award, supported by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Paul Barbara of the University of Texas at Austin will conduct research with his student and postdoctoral colleagues on the development of Fluorescence-Voltage Single Molecule Spectroscopy (F-V SMS) as a powerful tool for probing the molecular level properties and processes of nanomaterials and nanomaterials-based devices. The specific techniques, methods and theoretical models developed in this research will provide a powerful new tool for the investigation of technologically-important materials to be used in future electronics applications, including OLEDs, medical sensors and solar cells.Besides the broader scientific impact of the research, the research will result in the training of two female postdoctoral researchers in the Prof. Barbara's laboratory, as well as the training of graduate students. Prof. Barbara and his postdoctoral and graduate student colleagues will also be participating in the "Nano at the Border" program, which provides research and educational opportunities to disadvantaged Hispanic students. This program was co-founded by Prof. Barbara in 2002.
