This award supports cooperative research between a U.S. scientist,              Dr. Richard Vook, Syracuse University, and a Chinese scientist,                 Professor Zhang Jigao, Beijing Institute of Posts and                           Telecommunications, on "The Role and Formation of Thin Interfacial              Layers in Sliding Electrical Contacts".  This research will be                  carried out using facilities at both institutions.                                                                                                              The goal of this joint research is to understand the formation and              relevance of certain thin surface layers on electrical contact                  phenomena.  By combining the expertise of Dr. Vook in surface science           research and Professor Zhang in electrical contact research, it is              anticipated that a productive multidisciplinary approach to the                 complex problems associated with sliding electrical contact phenomena           will result.
