NMR Quadrupolar Spin Probes of Solid State Structure and Dynamics

在这个奖项，由化学部的化学结构，动力学和机制计划资助，教授。Robert L.来自威廉和玛丽学院的Vold和Gina Hoatson以及他们的研究生和本科生同事将开发用于模拟慢分子运动的现实模型，将其应用于新型核磁共振实验，并使建模和验证程序易于访问，并免费提供给一般的科学界。在线文档，将作为本项目的一部分开发，将包括实验程序的教程，通过典型实验的动画模拟来说明。这将提供一个普遍有用的教学工具，向学生介绍光谱学的实际方面，即使在昂贵的情况下，高fielindinstumentation是不容易获得的。Vold教授，Hoatson教授和他们的研究同事和研究学生的工作将使科学家能够研究更广泛的材料，并分析一些非常缓慢的运动，这些运动在确定诸如提高超声波探测器灵敏度等有用特性方面非常重要。除了拟议工作的更广泛的科学影响外，在该项目中接受培训的学生还将接触独特的跨学科研究。

In this award, funded by the Chemical Structure, Dynamics and MechanismsProgram of the Chemistry Division, Profs. Robert L. Vold and Gina Hoatson from theCollege of William and Mary and their graduate and undergraduate student colleagueswill develop realistic models for simulating slow molecular motion, apply them to newtypes of nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, and make the modeling and datafitting procedures easily accessible and freely available to the general scientificcommunity. On line documentation, to be developed as part of this project, will includetutorials on experimental procedures, illustrated by animated simulations of typicalexperiments. This will provide a generally useful teaching tool for introducing students topractical aspects of spectroscopy, even in situations where expensive, high fieldinstrumentation is not readily available.The work of Prof. Vold, Prof. Hoatson and their research colleagues andresearch students will enable scientists to study a broader range of materials, and toanalyze some of the very slow motions that are important in determining such usefulproperties as increased sensitivity of ultrasonic detectors. In addition to the broaderscientific impact of the proposed work, the students being trained in this project will beexposed to unique interdisciplinary research.
