9733956 Kruger This is a CAREER Award project involving high pressure techniques in two separate areas of research. An objective of the work is to synthesize and study, novel and potentially technologically relevant materials. The research employs pressure-induced amorphization, the pressure-induced destruction of long range crystalline order to produce an amorphous materials. X-ray diffraction study of pressure-amorphized samples will yield the pair correlation function, G(r). The pressure variation of this function will be correlate structures of the pressure-amorphized glasses with the starting crystals, as well as with conventionally synthesized, melt quenched glasses. Raman scattering will be used to study the boson peak of these glasses which will result in a deeper understanding of the glasses as well as the boson peak itself. Numerous theoretical studies have predicted the stability of various phases of carbon nitride, some theoretical studies indicating that certain phases should have bulk moduli rivaling that of diamond. There is significant interest, both theoretical, and practical, in realizing such materials. The PI will apply high pressures and high temperatures to carbon-nitrogen mixtures in order to synthesize some of the theoretically predicted superhard phases of carbon nitride. Study of the equation of state of the materials will help determine which phases are most likely to be superhard, and hence should be made in larger quantities for more detailed study. The education component of this project involves extensive undergraduate research activity, lectures at local high-schools, and mentoring activity associated with the local student Chapter of the American Physical Society. %%% This is a CAREER Award project involves high pressure (up to 100 million atmospheres) techniques to synthesize and study, novel and potentially technologically relevant materials. One relatively recently observed technique employs compression alone to turn a cry stal into a glass. In this way a variety of glasses will be prepared. X-ray and optical scattering techniques will be used to characterize the structural transition from the crystalline to the glassy state. Relationships are sought between the new glasses, the starting crystals, and traditional model glasses. A second project involves the use of high pressures to try to synthesis new, superhard materials. By analogy with the graphite to diamond conversion, high pressures and temperatures will be applied to graphite-nitrogen mixtures in an attempt to synthesize some of the theoretically predicted superhard phases of carbon nitride. The education component of this project involves extensive undergraduate research activity, lectures at local high-schools, and mentoring activity associated with the local student Chapter of the American Physical Society. ***

9733956 Kruger 这是一个职业奖项目，涉及两个不同研究领域的高压技术。这项工作的目标是合成和研究新颖且具有潜在技术相关性的材料。该研究采用压力诱导非晶化，即压力诱导破坏长程晶序来生产非晶材料。压力非晶化样品的 X 射线衍射研究将产生配对相关函数 G(r)。该函数的压力变化将把压力非晶化玻璃的结构与起始晶体以及常规合成的熔融淬火玻璃的结构相关联。拉曼散射将用于研究这些玻璃的玻色子峰，这将有助于更深入地了解玻璃以及玻色子峰本身。 许多理论研究已经预测了氮化碳各个相的稳定性，一些理论研究表明某些相应该具有与金刚石相媲美的体积模量。人们对实现此类材料在理论上和实践上都非常感兴趣。 PI将对碳氮混合物施加高压和高温，以合成一些理论上预测的氮化碳超硬相。研究材料的状态方程将有助于确定哪些相最有可能是超硬的，因此应该大量生产以进行更详细的研究。该项目的教育部分包括广泛的本科生研究活动、在当地高中的讲座以及与美国物理学会当地学生分会相关的指导活动。 %%% 这是一个职业奖项目，涉及高压（高达 1 亿个大气压）技术来合成和研究新颖且具有潜在技术相关性的材料。最近观察到的一种技术仅采用压缩将晶体变成玻璃。这样就可以制备出各种眼镜了。 X射线和光学散射技术将用于表征从结晶态到玻璃态的结构转变。寻找新玻璃、起始晶体和传统模型玻璃之间的关系。第二个项目涉及使用高压来尝试合成新的超硬材料。与石墨到金刚石的转化类似，高压和高温将被应用于石墨-氮混合物，以试图合成一些理论上预测的氮化碳超硬相。该项目的教育部分包括广泛的本科生研究活动、在当地高中的讲座以及与美国物理学会当地学生分会相关的指导活动。 ***
