## Announcement of Initiation of Conceptual Design of the BNL NSRC

**http://www.energy.gov/HQDocs/speeches/2002/junss/BrookhavenNationalLaboratory_v.html**

**Remarks by Secretary****of Energy Spencer Abraham****Brookhaven National Laboratory****June 14, 2002**

**President Bush has given the scientific community a challenge. He said recently that the more research and development we do, "the more likely it is we'll find interesting answers to energy problems, or health problems, or national security challenges." **
**And he has made nanotechnology one of the major scientific initiatives of his Administration.  So, I've come to Brookhaven today to help fulfill the President's challenge. **
**On behalf of the entire Department of Energy, I am pleased to announce today the approval to begin the Conceptual Design of the $85 million Center for Functional Nanomaterials here at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The Center, which will be located next to the National Synchrotron Light Source, will design new classes of materials .....**

## Further Excerpts from Secretary Abraham’s Speech at BNL

**http://www.energy.gov/HQDocs/speeches/2002/junss/BrookhavenNationalLaboratory_v.html**

_**DOE and American Leadership in Science**_** **
**Of course, it's not just progress in nanotechnology that will depend upon our Department in the future. The Department of Energy could well have been called the Department of Science and Energy ... given our contribution to American science. **
**What is so exciting about the work we do is that we produce benefits to America and the world that go well beyond the original scope of our mission. **
**Researchers probably never anticipated when they started smashing atoms and protons in our large accelerators that their science ... their very basic research on matter ... would eventually give us remarkable life-saving technology.  One of every three hospital patients in the U.S. benefits from nuclear medicine. About 10,000 cancer patients are treated every day with electron beams from linear accelerators. **
**Superconductors developed for high energy accelerators now provide the strong and stable magnetic fields needed for the sharpest Magnetic Resonance Imaging. And accelerators invented for high energy and nuclear physics research now provide intense sources of synchrotron light that is used for structural biology, chemistry, and material research. **
**High energy physicists, looking to share information, invented and helped establish the World Wide Web: a profound advance in human civilization - if only because it occupies the free time of our teenagers. **
**The practical value of basic research is often disguised. And those engaged in it often seek only to follow their curiosity, rather than to find an every day use for their work. But, as I hope I have shown, the connection of basic research to our missions here at DOE couldn't be stronger. **
**I think it's clear. A nation that embraces basic research embraces a brighter future. **

- _Research Interests_:   Surface Chemistry and Physics
- Surfaces are of great importance in innumerable problems of interest to chemists (surfaces of electrodes, heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion problems, solar energy systems, microelectronics fabrication, and atmospheric chemistry). Recent advances in the area of surface science have allowed detailed studies of these and many other phenomena at the molecular level. Our research involves the use of modern surface science techniques to study the chemistry and structure of adsorbates on single crystals of metals, semiconductors, and insulators. Underlying all of our research is an interest in understanding the fundamentals of the interactions of small molecules with surfaces. Structural and spectroscopic experiments are combined with reactivity experiments utilizing well-characterized single crystal surfaces to understand the mechanistic details of heterogeneous reactions.
- In collaboration with Professor Finlayson-Pitts, we have recently begun a program in which we use the modern surface probes we have available to study heterogeneous reactions which are important in the atmosphere. As part of this project we have studied the reactions of oxides of nitrogen with sodium chloride. These reactions are important to tropospheric chemistry near oceans where wave action and spray generate substantial quantities of sea-salt particles in the atmosphere. Our studies shed substantial light on the fundamental aspects of such gas/solid chemistry and its importance in atmospheric chemistry.

***Martin Moskovits, U. of California, Santa Barbara***

**Dean, Division of Mathematical, Life & Physical Sciences**
- B.Sc. (Toronto)
- Ph.D. (Toronto)

- Research Interests
- Our research focuses on three major areas:
- (1) Strategies for making, imaging and studying very small structures. Uniform nanometer-sized particles are generated by a variety of techniques and their novel, optical, electrical and chemical properties are studied. One of the techniques involves the use of electrochemically-generated `nanotemplates'. Another uses a gas-phase cluster machine to produce clusters of metals and semi-conductors of uniform size.
- (2) A unique low temperature, ultra-high vacuum, scanning tunneling microscope was constructed which allows us to study surface processes with atomic resolutions as a function of temperature. A sister technology, photon scanning tunneling microscopy, was also developed with which optical images can be obtained with sub-wavelength resolution.
- (3) Novel fullerene-based materials are produced and their optical, chemical and electrical properties studied under ultra-high vacuum conditions.

- We study surfaces that are interesting and important.  Virtually every modern technology relies on surface properties, so our research is widely applicable from life sciences to electronics.  Our primary application is bioanalytical chemistry, specifically surfaces used for chromatography, electrophoresis and biochips.  The need for new surfaces in bioanalytical chemistry is huge and growing.  The scientific question we ask is how adsorbates, such as proteins or DNA, interact with engineered surfaces.  Surfaces can be as thin as one atom because it is the outermost atoms on a surface that touch the outside world.  We design and study surfaces to achieve a molecular scale control and understanding of how they work.  We employ state-of-the art spectroscopic measurement tools to learn how molecules adsorb, and these tools include single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, solid state NMR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and bioseparations.  More specific information is provided in the section under research.  Students working in our group have many career opportunities, and the jobs our graduates have chosen are described in a page on former students.

## Definitions

**Budget Authority**	**The amount of funds authorized and appropriated by Congress for the year.**
**Obligations****	****The amount of funds obligated (or planned for obligation) in the current year (may be greater than or less than B/A).**
**Budget Outlays****	****The amount of funds actually dispersed from the Treasury to make payments to contractors.**
**Costs****	****The amount of work performed, irrespective of whether payment has been made by the Treasury.**
**Unobligated Balances****	****Amount of prior year budget authority that has not been obligated to a contractor (this is typically reallocated for use in the following year).**
**Prior Year Deobligations****	****Funds from an old contract action that are deobligated when contract is closed out (these funds are returned to the CFO’s allotment for use on other DOE needs; not necessarily to the Office of Science).**
**Uncosted Obligations****	****Amount of funds provided (obligated) that have not been costed, i.e., work not complete.**
