Application for further studyI am writing to you in the hope that I may obtain an opportunity to further my study in your laboratory. Enclosed please find a Curriculum Vita of my education, research experiences, publications, and letters of recommendation, which, I hope, will meet your requirements. As you can see from my CV, I have been researched on the dielectric materials for about 4 years (three years master stage and one year doctor candidate stage). I mainly concentrated on the origin investigating of the huge dielectric constant materials in the form of ceramic or nanostructure oxide, and also, to explore the new functional dielectric materials is also my responsibility. Now I have 5 first author publications included by Science Citation Index, while 3 are in the process of writing data. In the years of study, I have learned how to use the related equipments, such as the material preparation instruments and samples analyses instruments, and how to analyze the experiments data appropriately and detailedly. However, I think the most important thing is not how much you have achieved, but how you achieve. In the procedure of experiment, I trained my thinking patterns in every failure and gain. To identify problems, clear away the obstacles and solve them, and to be conscientious on every data, and to be inspired by detail, is what I am learning. However, you know that Innovation is extremely important, and sustains the progress of scientific researches. To be innovative, one need an open mind all the time, and the illumination of new things, new thoughts and good academic environments. I think it is necessary to expand my horizon and thoughts and train a innovative spirit, and I am searching for such new things.I notice that your research group is very professional on the research of dielectric materials possesses of advanced analysis and test devices, and has made big progress on the new material exploration. I think you have a good team of scientific research that processes new thoughts and good academic environments, and could provide advanced equipments and professional support, which is essential prerequisite for excellent research. Since I will soon finish graduate from my doctor candidate stage, I want to further my study in your group. I think it is promising to going on the research as it is in a great hurry to explore new material to meet the growth demand of the new electronic industry. I am very committed to join your group and explore my interests as a research assistant. I am confident of my ability to make a contribution to your ongoing research projects and I believe that with your help I would make significant achievements in my research. I am a good student and popular with others, and I can cooperate with others well. I have studied English for more than 10 years up to intermediate level. I have taken the TOEFL and received a score of 615. I think there would not be any language problems if I engaged in. In the undergraduate stage I had taken the courses of some basic knowledge in Physics, and I think I have good background on the dielectric materials research. By the way, I need the scholarships as my family is under pressure in economy. If I fulfill your demand, would you provide me with all the travel and living expenses? I will appreciate it very much if you could send me the Graduate Application Forms, the Application Form for Scholarships, a detailed introduction to the School of Physics, and other relevant information. My mailing address is shown on the top of this letter.Your kind reply and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.o
