Still a chance to devise a polaron …
In the end of April I’ve submitted a grant application to FOM (see http://yuli.weblog.tudelft.nl/2010/05/01/proposal-fom-projectruimte) whereby I hope to get a Ph.D. student to devise polarons in carbon nanotubes. Today they annouce the results of the first round. My application is still pending, however the chances for its approval do not look much better than in the beginning…
They say they got 42 applications and can grant no more than a quarter. Several proposals have been immediately approved, some have been rejected while mine belongs to the group of 12 that they want to send to the referees. Wish me some luck.
In case you wish to see the proposal, I’ve uploaded it to Rapidshare

Enjoy.
