This renewal award by the Solid State Materials Chemistry program in the Division of Materials Research to University of South Carolina addresses the discovery and the crystal growth of new materials by utilizing hydroxide fluxes as a synthetic strategy in preparing new complex oxides in single crystal form. Many important physical properties that enable the functioning of new electronic devices, data storage materials, battery components and superconductors are found in oxide materials containing transition metal elements. This is a versatile group of chemical compounds that can be selectively modified to exhibit desirable physical properties that will lay the groundwork for new devices and applications of the future. With this award, Professor zur Loye will be developing advanced methods for synthesizing new oxides to determine the atomic structure of these materials, to investigate their electronic and magnetic properties, and to enable their utilization in a variety of applications. The proposal focuses on the discovery of new materials and the training of the next generation researcher in the US. These two goals will be accomplished by using crystal growth in hydroxide fluxes as a synthetic strategy to prepare complex oxides, to discover new materials, and to provide a valuable educational experience for students from undergraduate to graduate and postdoctorate. The scientific goals focus on expanding and improving the approach of single crystal growth as a means of exploring phase space for materials discovery, while the teaching goals will assure the education of a wide range of individuals, including those from underrepresented groups, in the area of solid state and materials chemistry.

固态材料化学计划在南卡罗来纳大学的材料研究部的续签奖励通过利用氢氧化通量作为一种合成策略来探讨新材料的发现和晶体生长，以单晶形式准备新的复杂氧化物。在含有过渡金属元件的氧化物材料中发现了许多重要的物理特性，这些物理特性可实现新的电子设备，数据存储材料，电池组件和超导体的功能。 这是一组多功能的化合物组，可以选择性地修改以表现出理想的物理特性，为新设备和未来的应用奠定了基础。 有了这个奖项，Zur Loye教授将开发用于合成新氧化物的高级方法，以确定这些材料的原子结构，研究其电子和磁性特性，并在各种应用中实现其利用。 该提案重点是发现新材料和美国下一代研究人员的培训。 这两个目标将通过使用氢氧化通量中的晶体生长作为制备复杂氧化物，发现新材料并为来自本科生到研究生和博士后的学生提供宝贵的教育经验的合成策略来实现。科学目标着重于扩大和改善单晶增长的方法，作为探索材料发现相空间的一种手段，而教学目标将确保在固态和材料化学领域的广泛个人教育，包括来自代表性不足的人群的人。
