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.

该续奖由南卡罗来纳大学材料研究部的固态材料化学项目颁发，旨在通过利用氢氧化物助熔剂作为制备单晶形式的新型复合氧化物的合成策略，解决新材料的发现和晶体生长问题。在含有过渡金属元素的氧化物材料中发现了许多重要的物理特性，使新型电子设备、数据存储材料、电池组件和超导体发挥作用。 这是一组多功能的化合物，可以选择性地进行修饰以表现出所需的物理特性，从而为未来的新设备和应用奠定基础。 凭借这一奖项，zur Loye 教授将开发合成新氧化物的先进方法，以确定这些材料的原子结构，研究它们的电子和磁性特性，并使其在各种应用中得到利用。 该提案的重点是新材料的发现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物助熔剂中的晶体生长作为制备复杂氧化物的合成策略来实现，以发现新材料，并为从本科生到研究生和博士后的学生提供宝贵的教育经验。科学目标侧重于扩展和改进单晶生长方法，作为探索材料发现相空间的一种手段，而教学目标将确保对广泛的个人（包括来自代表性不足群体的人）进行教育固态和材料化学。
