Inter-American Collaboration on Negative Thermal Expansion Materials - CIAM

这项拟议由美洲材料研究合作方案支持的研究利用了四个实验室在材料研究方面的协同优势，即：材料热性能方面的专门知识(加拿大达尔豪西大学化学系玛丽·安妮·怀特)；负热膨胀材料合成和表征方面的专门知识(Bojan Marinkovic、Departamento de ciéncia dos Materiais e Metalurgia、PontifíCIA University Católica do Rio de Janeiro)；使用同步加速器进行衍射研究的专门知识(Fábio Ferreira Furlan，巴西里约热内卢国家实验室)；在微观结构稳定性方面的专门知识(费尔南多·里佐·阿桑索戈·巴西奥、迪帕特蒙托·德西恩西亚·多斯梅里亚斯·梅塔鲁贾、巴西里约热内卢中央情报局大学)。通过合作，该团队将能够显著提高对无机氧化物材料的热性能(热膨胀、导热系数和热稳定性)的了解。这些研究将对减少热应力和更高效率的热电材料等领域产生深远的影响。

The proposed research to be supported by the Inter-American Collaboration in Materials Research program capitalizes on synergistic strengths in materials research in four laboratories, namely: expertise in thermal properties of materials (Mary Anne White, Department of Chemistry, Dalhousie University, Canada); expertise in synthesis and characterization of negative thermal expansion materials (Bojan Marinkovic, Departamento de Ciência dos Materiais e Metalurgia, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil); expertise in use of synchrotrons for diffraction studies (Fábio Ferreira Furlan, Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron, Brazil); expertise in microstructural stability (Fernando Rizzo Assunção, Departamento de Ciência dos Materiais e Metalurgia, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Together, this team will be able to significantly advance understanding of thermal properties (thermal expansion, thermal conductivity and thermal stability) of inorganic oxide materials. These studies will have far-reaching implications in areas such as thermal stress reduction, and higher-efficiency thermoelectric materials.
