NSF East Asia and Pacific Summer Institute for FY 2012 in Australia

这一行动资助凯文H。2012年夏天，在澳大利亚新南威尔士州卧龙岗的卧龙岗大学，与佛罗里达大学的米勒合作开展了一项名为“新颖单晶体中电磁激发的红外传输研究”的研究项目。 主持科学家是Roger A.刘易斯。该研究项目的智力价值在于寻找新的多铁性和磁电性单晶中的磁振子和电磁振子激发。 更具体地说，所提出的研究涉及太赫兹传输测量FeTe 2 O 5 Br，CuSe 2 O 5，和Cu 3Bi（SeO 3）2 O2 Cl，调查这些材料中的磁电耦合的存在。 EAPSI奖学金的更广泛的影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验;介绍各自所在地的科学，科学政策和科学基础设施;以及社会，文化和语言的方向。 这些活动符合NSF的目标，即在科学家，工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯早期进行国际合作教育，从而确保具有全球意识的美国科学工作者。

This action funds Kevin H. Miller of the University of Florida to conduct a research project, entitled "Infrared Transmission Study of Electric and Magnetic Excitations in Novel Single Crystals" during the summer of 2012 at the University of Wollongong in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. The host scientist is Professor Roger A. Lewis.The Intellectual Merit of the research project lies in searching for magnon and electromagnon excitations in novel multiferroic and magnetoelectric single crystals. More specifically, the proposed research involveds terahertz transmission measurements on FeTe2O5Br, CuSe2O5, and Cu3Bi(SeO3)2O2Cl to investigate the existence of magnetoelectric coupling in these materials. Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.
