Preparing Future Scientists at Multiple Levels

Heckler, Pelz, Hammel, McCombs, The Ohio State University
Bridge Program for Physics Graduate Students OSU, CEM and the OSU Department of Physics have established and funded a M.S.‐to‐Ph.D. Bridge Program at OSU; OSU is one of the first sites funded by the American Physical Society Bridge Program. The program seeks to enhance the diversity of qualified applicants to physics Ph.D. programs at OSU and at other universities. The first cohort of students for this 2‐year transitional M.S. program will begin in June 2013.

Researchers Discover the Grail of Graphene Electronics: Semiconducting Graphene

J. Hicks, M. Nevious, C. Berger, W.A. de Heer and E.H. Conrad
Researchers Discover the Grail of Graphene Electronics: Semiconducting Graphene (.PDF) The stumbling block to developing graphene electronics has been the inability to produce a semiconducting form of graphene.  Researchers at the Georgia Tech MRSEC have finally found a solution to this elusive goal, graphene bent over SiC steps.  This semiconducting graphene can operate at temperatures above 200 C and is easily scalable to industrial fabrication.

Mussel protein adhesion to mica surpasses biotin-avidin affinity

Danner, Kan, Hammer, Israelachvili & Waite
Asymmetrical films of adhesive protein Mfp-5 show significantly higher reversible adhesion to smooth mica surfaces than the “gold standard” of noncovalent binding: well-ordered avidin-biotin interactions. The insights are crucial for intelligent translation of mussel adhesion to engineered systems.

Teachers Merge Art and Science at the UCSB MRSEC
The UCSB Materials Research Laboratory’s “Models and Materials” Teacher Institute teamed secondary art and science teachers to develop interdisciplinary curriculum projects combining art and science with student-created models. Five science and four art teachers from Santa Barbara and Ventura County schools participated in this teacher professional development opportunity and presented their lesson plans at the MRL Secondary Curriculum Workshop in March 2013.

Rotating Magnetization with Lattice Strain

Du, Adur, Wang, Hauser, Lucy, Soliz, Holcombe, Morris, Woodward, Hammel, Yang, The Ohio State University
Altering crystal structure of unique magnetic films manipulates magnetization orientation Magnetic anisotropy defines the functionality in many applications including magnetic data storage, strong permanent magnets, and electrical transformers. Sr2FeMoO6 (SFMO) and Sr2CrReO6 (SCRO) are unique magnetic materials whose strong anisotropy aligns with crystalline structure (“magneto‐crystalline anisotropy”) that arises from the heavy elements Mo and Re.

Supporting STEM Education and Professional Careers through the REU Program
The long term goals of the Triangle MRSEC REU program are to maximize opportunities for undergraduate involvement MRSEC research, recruit diverse undergraduate students from across the country, and encourage and support future careers in materials science and engineering. Our 2012 class of REU students represented a diverse group of undergraduates with 50% females and 75% underrepresented minorities.
