This award by the Division of Materials Research to Cornell University is to develop a coherent structural and electronic understanding of hidden patterns and symmetries of intermetallic compounds through synthesis, structure determination, property measurement, and theory. The main focus will be on complex noble and near noble metal structures. Through this work a new understanding and relationship among the Samson compounds, the Vernier structures and quasicrystalline phases will be developed and could unify these seemly unrelated areas. This project could expand how solid-state chemists, condensed matter physicists, and materials scientists will consider using X-ray diffraction and band theory. In addition, these proposed studies may provide important insights into the structure and electronic characteristics of quasicrystals. The project could provide unique opportunities to the students participating in this program in experimental and theoretical approaches of materials science. The outreach activities could have tremendous impact on the society with books and TV series about sciences and chemistry in particular. The "fourth dimension" is an important and useful concept that could be introduced to general public in an understandable and meaningful way.

该材料研究部门授予康奈尔大学的奖项是通过合成，结构确定，财产测量和理论对隐藏模式和对称化合物的隐藏模式和对称性进行一致的结构和电子理解。 主要重点将放在复杂的贵族和近乎贵族的金属结构上。通过这项工作，萨姆森化合物之间有了新的理解和关系，将开发游标结构和准晶体阶段，并可以统一这些看似无关的领域。该项目可以扩大固态化学家，冷凝物理学家和材料科学家将考虑使用X射线衍射和带理论的方式。此外，这些提出的研究可能会为准晶体的结构和电子特性提供重要的见解。 该项目可以为参加该计划的学生提供独特的机会，以材料科学的实验和理论方法。外展活动尤其是关于科学和化学的书籍和电视连续剧，可能会对社会产生巨大影响。 “第四维度”是一个重要且有用的概念，可以以可以理解和有意义的方式将其引入公众。
