This is a U.S.-Bulgarian cooperative research project that will investigate the possibilities of obtaining and modifying, in a controlled and reproducible way, thin dielectric films containing various metal nanoclusters with a homogeneous narrow cluster size distribution using magnetron co-sputtering. The principal investigators are Dr. Mariana Sendova from the New College of Florida and Dr. Marushka Sendova-Vassileva from the Central Laboratory for Solar Energy in Bulgaria. The objective of this research is to grow metal nano-clusters in various dielectric matrices using existing sputtering and a pulsed laser. Such nanocomposites have interesting optical and electro-optical properties which will have potential in different types of optical devices. This research will contribute new experimental data to the rapidly developing area of nanomaterials and nanotechnology as it combines the advantages of magnetron co-sputtering together with those of laser-assisted modification of thin films. This project in mathematics research fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Central/Eastern Europe to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.

这是一个美国 - 巴尔加里的合作研究项目，它将以受控且可重现的方式调查和修改薄的介电膜，其中含有各种金属纳米簇，并使用Magnetron Co-Sputtering使用具有均匀的窄簇大小分布。 首席调查人员是佛罗里达州新学院的玛丽安娜·森多瓦（Mariana Sendova）博士和保加利亚中央太阳能实验室的Marushka Sendova-Vassileva博士。 这项研究的目的是使用现有的溅射和脉冲激光在各种介电矩阵中种植金属纳米簇。 这种纳米复合材料具有有趣的光学和电光特性，在不同类型的光学设备中具有潜力。 这项研究将为纳米材料和纳米技术快速发展的领域提供新的实验数据，因为它将磁控蛋白共同输入的优势与激光辅助修饰的薄膜相结合。该数学研究项目实现了将美国和中欧领先的专家汇集在一起​​的计划目标，以将互补的努力和能力结合在强大的共同利益和能力的领域，并基于平等，互惠和福利的共同性。
