CBET-0820597, LopezThere is presently a strong resurgence of interest in the role of plasmas in particular complex plasmas that include additional particle species of nanometer- to micrometer-size such as dust. Part of the driving force for this interest is plasma uses in semiconductor plasma processing and in large fusion devices. Whether desirable or undesirable, it is often crucially important to understand the dynamics of dust particles, the chemical processes at their surfaces, their interactions with the host plasmas, and other factors. Microplasmas are at the center of another rapidly evolving field because they can operate at substantially higher pressures than conventional plasmas. Such an environment aids many interesting applications including high-power lasers, opening switches, novel plasma processing applications and sputtering, electromagnetic absorbers and reflectors, remediation of gaseous pollutants, medical sterilization and biological decontamination, and excimer lamps and other non-coherent vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) light sources.This award provides partial support for American graduate and postdoctoral students to participate in an international Graduate Summer Institute on Complex Plasmas, which will be held from July 30 to August 7, 2008 at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. The stated goal is educational advancement of the scientific challenges and technological opportunities afforded by complex plasmas. Its broad yet rigorous curriculum will lead to further advancement in this new and emerging field by attracting young American researchers in significant numbers since they will encounter scientific challenges as well as technological opportunities in these areas upon which they can build a successful academic or industrial career. Further, the emerging complex plasma applications appear to be a remarkable fertile field for small, high-tech start-up companies which will perceive this field as a favorable innovation source for marketplace realization of basic plasma concepts.Graduate and postdoctoral students attending the school will be trained to work on plasma physics as it is involved in technologically important areas where plasma processes are employed. In addition to comprehensive and thorough introductions to the subjects involved, there will be in-depth contributions at the summer school treating particularly important topics, including experimental techniques and computer simulations. The exposure to top European plasma researchers will also be of great value to the American students involved.

CBET-0820597，Lopezthere目前对等离子体在特别的复杂等离子体中的作用是一种强烈的兴趣，其中包括纳米表的其他颗粒物种，例如粉尘，例如灰尘。引起这种兴趣的一部分驱动力是在半导体等离子体处理和大型融合设备中使用血浆。无论是理想的还是不希望的，都至关重要的是要了解灰尘颗粒的动力学，表面上的化学过程，与宿主等离子体的相互作用以及其他因素。微质体是另一个快速发展的领域的中心，因为它们的压力可能比常规等离子体高得多。这样的环境有助于许多有趣的应用，包括高功率激光器，开放开关，新型的血浆处理应用和溅射，电磁吸收器和反射器，对气态污染物的补救，医疗灭菌和生物学去污染，以及兴奋的灯以及其他非社交型真空吸引式奖励范围，以供应范围，以供应范围。参加一家国际复杂等离子体夏季研究生研究所，该研究所将于2008年7月30日至8月7日在新泽西州霍博肯的史蒂文斯理工学院举行。 既定的目标是对复杂等离子体提供的科学挑战和技术机会的教育进步。 它的广泛而严格的课程将通过吸引年轻的美国研究人员的大量吸引，因为他们将面临科学挑战以及在这些领域的技术机会，从而在这些新的学术或工业生涯中遇到科学挑战，并通过吸引年轻的研究人员来进一步发展。此外，对于小型高科技初创公司而言，新兴复杂的血浆应用似乎是一个了不起的肥沃领域，这将把这一领域视为基本血浆概念的市场实现市场的有利创新来源。培训上学生的研究生和博士后学生将受到技术重要领域的培训，从而涉及技术重要的领域。除了对所涉及的主题进行全面和彻底的介绍外，暑期学校还将有深入的贡献，以处理特别重要的主题，包括实验技术和计算机模拟。 接触欧洲顶级血浆研究人员对参与的美国学生也将具有巨大的价值。
