In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. John T. Fourkas of the University of Maryland, College Park, and his undergraduate and graduate research students will study liquids with Optical Kerr Effect (OKE) spectroscopy. The research program will develop new modalities of OKE spectroscopy, and will work on developing OKE methods for microscopy applications. The hope is that OKE will provide a robust method for contrast enhancement in microscopy. In addition, Prof. Fourkas and his research students will continue their fundamental studies of molecular-level liquid structure, as probed by OKE spectroscopy. One unique aspect of this latter effort is the attempt to probe the microscopic structure of liquids under extreme tension and in extremely confined environments. The results from Prof. Fourkas' research are expected to be of broad technological and scientific interest in fields as diverse as industrial separations, oil recovery, cavitation, and water transport in plants. The developments in microscopy may have an impact the biological sciences.Besides the broader scientific and technological impacts of the research being supported, Prof. Fourkas will continue to train the next generation of young scientists, and will continue in his successful efforts to bring the results of his research to a wider general audience.

在该奖项中，由化学部实验物理化学部门资助，马里兰州大学公园的John T. Fourkas教授和他的本科和研究生研究专业的学生将使用光学Kerr效应（OKE）光谱学研究液体。 该研究计划将开发出OKE光谱的新方式，并将致力于开发用于显微镜应用的OKE方法。 希望OKE将提供一种可靠的方法来增强显微镜的对比度。 此外，正如Oke光谱探测的那样，Fourkas教授和他的研究专业的研究生将继续他们对分子级液体结构的基本研究。 后一项工作的一个独特方面是试图在极端张力和极限环境下探测液体的微观结构。 预计Fourkas研究的结果预计将在工业分离，石油回收，气蚀和植物的水运输等领域具有广泛的技术和科学兴趣。 显微镜的发展可能会影响生物学科学。在支持的研究中，更广泛的科学和技术影响，Four. Four. Four.教授将继续培训下一代的年轻科学家，并将继续成功地努力将他的研究结果带给更广泛的一般受众。
