Summer Research Program in Solid State Chemistry

技术摘要：该项目由固态和材料化学计划支持，提供了一个以固态和材料化学为重点的联合辅导和暑期研究计划，专为希望增加固态化学知识的本科院校的高年级或大三本科生和教职员工而设计。在俄勒冈大学举行的入门教程，通过上午的一系列讲座和下午的动手实验室，让学生和教职员工沉浸在固态化学的概念和应用中。辅导周包括介绍和动手使用X射线衍射、透射电子显微镜、扫描电子显微镜、电子探针分析和各种表面分析技术。在教程结束时，参与者分散到指定的东道主实验室进行为期八周的研究。主办实验室分布在美国各地。在每个主办实验室，个别参与者将成为研究团队的积极成员，从事东道主指派的项目。参与者在研究阶段结束时返回俄勒冈州参加最后的研讨会，在那里他们通过演讲、海报会议和小组讨论与同行分享他们的成功、挫折和整体经验。这巩固了在辅导周期间形成的网络，并允许参与者看到固态化学研究领域可用机会的广度和深度。该计划的目标是增加在固体和材料化学领域攻读研究生课程的年轻化学家的数量、多样性和能力。该计划直接从少数族裔入学率较高的本科院校招收学生，并帮助这些机构的教职员工将固态化学纳入他们的课程。非技术概述：该项目由固态和材料化学计划支持，提供专注于固态和材料化学的联合辅导和暑期研究计划，旨在为希望增加固态化学知识的本科院校的高年级或大三本科生和教职员工而设计。在俄勒冈大学举行的入门教程，通过上午的一系列讲座和下午的动手实验室，让学生和教职员工沉浸在固态化学的概念和应用中。参与者可以亲身体验最先进的设备，并向专家学习。在教程结束时，参与者分散到指定的宿主实验室进行为期八周的研究体验。主办实验室分布在美国各地，由固态和材料化学领域的领先研究人员监督。在每个主办实验室，个别参与者将成为研究团队的积极成员，从事东道主指派的项目。参与者在研究阶段结束时返回俄勒冈州参加最后的研讨会，在那里他们通过演讲、海报会议和小组讨论与同行分享他们的成功、挫折和整体经验。这巩固了在辅导周期间形成的网络，并允许参与者看到固态和材料化学领域可用机会的广度和深度。该计划的目标是增加在固体和材料化学领域攻读研究生课程的年轻化学家的数量、多样性和能力。该计划直接从少数民族入学率较高的本科院校招收学生，并帮助教职员工将固态化学纳入他们的课程。

TECHNICAL SUMMARY:This project, supported by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program, provides a combined tutorial and summer research program focused in solid-state and materials chemistry designed for rising senior or junior undergraduate students and faculty members from primarily undergraduate institutions that want to increase their knowledge of solid state chemistry. An introductory tutorial, held at the University of Oregon, immerses student and faculty participants in the concepts and applications of solid state chemistry through a series of morning lectures and afternoon hands-on laboratories. The tutorial week includes introductions and hands on use of x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis and a variety of surface analysis techniques. At the close of the tutorial, the participants disperse to their assigned host laboratory for an eight-week research session. The host laboratories are located throughout the United States. At each host laboratory, the individual participant will become an active part of the research team, working on a project assigned by the host. Participants return to Oregon at the end of the research phase for a final symposium where they share their successes, frustrations and overall experiences with their peers through presentations, a poster session and group discussions. This cements the network that formed during tutorial week, and allows the participants to see the breadth and depth of opportunities available in the field of solid state chemistry research. The goal of this program is to increase the number, diversity and caliber of young chemists pursuing graduate studies in the field of solid state and materials chemistry. The program recruits students directly from undergraduate institutions with high minority enrollments and helps faculty at these institutions to incorporate solid state chemistry into their curricula.NON TECHNICAL SUMMARY:This project, supported by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program, provides a combined tutorial and summer research program focused in solid-state and materials chemistry designed for rising senior or junior undergraduate students and faculty members from primarily undergraduate institutions that want to increase their knowledge of solid state chemistry.
