Objective

The objective of PREM is to enhance diversity in materials research and education by stimulating the development of formal, long-term, collaborative research and education partnerships between minority-serving colleges and universities and the NSF Division of Materials Research (DMR)-supported centers and facilities.

The research emphasis will be on the development of physical models, numerical algorithms and robust simulation techniques for the study of:
(1) mechanical properties of metallic systems;
(2) charge and spin transport in 2-dimensional interacting electron systems;
(3) spin transport in magnetic tunnel junctions.
