This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $263,799 to support collaborative research between the University of Wyoming and Louisiana State University. The award will fund elucidation of the role of atomic structures of cerium dioxide (111) single crystal surfaces on the nucleation and growth of metal clusters of nickel and cobalt through in situ scanning tunneling microscopy and theoretical modeling. Researchers will investigate how ceria controls nucleation, size, and structure of supported nickel and cobalt nanoclusters. Graduate, undergraduate, and high school students will gain experience at the intersection of nanoscience, chemistry, materials science, and computational modeling. Results are expected to provide insight into nucleation sites and growth factors for metals on ceria, aiding design of nano-sized metals with tailored structures and functionalities.
