  1. MRI: Acquisition of Magnetic Field System with SQUID for Material ResearchJeremy S. Qualls, University of Texas Pan American,DMR-0421366 Intellectual Merit UTPA researchers have teamed up with Eastern Washington University to generate new molecular magnetic systems including polymeric Cu(II)-based magnets, 1- and 2-dimensional Co(II)-based magnets, and nanoporous metal-organic frameworks. Due to recent NSF support, researchers at The University of Texas, Pan American have installed a range of instrumentation to investigate these new classes of magnetic materials as well as probe deeply into the unusual electronic ground states found in other novel systems like organic conductors. Current lab infrastructure has greatly expanded the research capability of the institute and when the 17 Tesla magnet system arrives (scheduled for delivery August 30, 2005) the lab will enter into a new phase of discovery. The New Material Science Lab at UTPA. The lab includes 9Tesla SQUID system and 17 Tesla Magnetic system for magnetization, electrical transport, and magnetic alignment studies.

  2. MRI: Acquisition of Magnetic Field System with SQUID for Material ResearchJeremy S. Qualls, University of Texas Pan American,DMR-0421366 Broader Impacts Students at UTPA are familiar with the new NSF supported material science lab. It has been incorporated into such courses as Intro to Solid State Physics and Physics for Scientists and Engineers and is a standard stop for tours at UTPA. Nine undergraduates (David Rivera, Junaid Furuqi, Morgan Priola, John Medina, Gary Hanson, Murtaza Rampurawala, John Quin, Eunice Reyes, and Michelle Marice), have been involved in this work at various levels. Some highlights of that work include: Priola designed and constructed new torque-magnetometers. Quin, Reyes, and Marice designed and constructed a thermally insulated containment unit for melting and cooling epoxies during magnetic alignment. Rampurawala measured the dependence of saturation times for conductivity in carbon nanofiber doped polymers based on % of doping.
