This Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) award, funded by the Division of Materials Research and the Division of Physics, supports a collaborative interdisciplinary effort to integrate nanoscale science research and education in Jackson State University. The research component of the project includes computational and theoretical studies of clusters and nanoparticles: (a) Semiconductor clusters with metal atom impurities as nanoelectronic elements, interaction between clusters and surfaces, fullerenes encapsulating metal atom clusters with high magnetic moments as novel contrast agents in biomedical imaging. (b) Size-dependent electronic and optical properties of metal nanoparticles, modification of electron-electron interactions andscreening due to confinement and surface effects, and size-dependent relaxation processes and their manifestation in the optical spectroscopy experiments.The education component will introduce basic notions and methods of nanoscale science into the undergraduate curriculum. The design of a general education course and another more advanced course is planned. The general education course will be descriptive in nature and will be offered to first and second year students throughout the university. The more advanced course will target third or forth year physics, chemistry and engineering majors, and will include a basic description of some experimental and theoretical methods used in nanoscience research. Jackson State University is the premier educational institution in the largest urban area of Mississippi. Being a historically black university, JSU primarily serves the educational needs of the local community. The project will expose a large number of students from underrepresented groups to the basic notions of nanoscale science.

该纳米技术在本科教育奖（NUE）奖（NUE）奖，由材料研究部和物理部门资助，支持合作的跨学科努力，以整合杰克逊州立大学的纳米级科学研究与教育。该项目的研究组成部分包括簇和纳米颗粒的计算和理论研究：（a）具有金属原子杂质的半导体簇，作为纳米电元素，簇和表面之间的相互作用，富勒烯群之间的相互作用，将金属原子簇封装，具有高磁性的金属簇为新型的对比型物质，将其作为新型的生物化合物图像。 （b）金属纳米粒子的尺寸依赖性电子和光学性质，由于约束和表面效应而引起的电子电子相互作用以及屏幕的修改以及依赖大小的放松过程及其在光谱光谱实验中的表现。计划了通识教育课程和另一个更高级课程的设计。通识教育课程本质上是描述性的，并将提供给整个大学的一年级学生。更高级的课程将针对第三或第三年的物理，化学和工程专业，并将包括对纳米科学研究中某些实验和理论方法的基本描述。杰克逊州立大学是密西西比州最大的市区的主要教育机构。作为历史悠久的黑人大学，JSU主要满足当地社区的教育需求。该项目将使大量学生从代表性不足的群体中揭露纳米级科学的基本概念。
