以下是和一个烂校的教授在很早的时候套瓷以求保底的例子.在很早的阶段和
教授套瓷可以同时弄到申请表,免掉申请费等,但有可能以后甩不掉他,或者到
正式申请时教授忘了你等.后面再详细讨论利弊.大家可注意下面和素眉平生的
教授套瓷时如何礼帽说话等,不过要注意这是给烂校教授的套瓷Email,并不慎重
的说.关于套瓷以后会详细讨论,这里的例子只是在要表上网查时,你看到心动
的教授,或许可以给他顺手发一个,没准就套上了的例子.我的意见是:和牛教授
套瓷一定要慎重,宜在申请材料寄到后再套,但对保底的教授,以及副教授女教授
中国教授这"黑三类",随便套是可以的:PP
以下是一个典型的套瓷例子,以后会再详细讨论它.

Dear Professor David Carroll:

    I am very sorry to bother you and send this email, but I really
wish to contact you. I am a graduate student majoring in Condensed
Matter Physics Theory in the Department of Physics, Tsinghua
University (Beijing). I wish to pursue a doctoral degree in Physics
at Clemson University. My desired date of entrance is Fall, 1999.
I have visited the homepage of the "Laboratory for Nanotech". I am
writing this letter to you to introduce myself and query about the
graduate programs at NCCNM. Thank you very much for reading this email.

    Born on May 6, 1978, I entered Huazhong Univ. of Science and
Technology (HUST) when I was 15 years old. I finished the four-year
undergraduate program in three years and achieved my degree of B. Eng.
(Optoelectronic Engineering) in June 1996 with the honor of
"Outstanding Graduate". Then, I was admitted to the Graduate School
of Tsinghua University at the Department of Physics. I will obtain
my degree of M. S. (Physics) in June 1999. I have done much research
work on the topics of mesoscopic physics, such as carbon nanotubes,
persistent currents, Aharonov-Bohm geometric phase effects,
electronic transport phenomena, etc. Such modern research topics
attract me very much in that they are associated with both
Condensed-Matter Physics and microelectronics, respectively my
detail majors for M. S. and B. Eng.

    I wish to say that I am indeed interested in the graduate
programs at Phys Dept of Clemson University, and I eagerly wish
that I can join your research group. As I have also strong research
interests on carbon nanotubes, I do believe that the
doctorate-oriented study under your direction will be of great
help to me. I wonder, however, whether you do theoretical or
experimental research works? I wish to state that, although my
current research topics on carbon nanotubes are theoretical, I can
also do experimental research works, especially optical studies,
due to my undergraduate major in Optics. I hope my solid background
in both physics and engineering can meet your general requirements
of entrance to Physics Department as a graduate with financial
supports. I deem it a great honor to become a graduate of
Clemson, if admitted.

    Would you please consider my application and tell me whether
it is possible for me to be enrolled as your graduate with financial
supports? Thank you very much for your kind assistance. I am looking
forward to receiving your reply.

敌人回信(从回信可见我套早了还,他都以为我申请98了呢)
Dear Liu, Junjie,

    Thank you for the email and your interest in our research program.

    I am very intersted in your application and would like to hear more.
Are you interested in Fall 1999 or fall 1998?  Certianly for 1999 there
should be no problem getting research support, provided that your test
scores, grades, etc. are acceptable to the university.  For 1998, it
would be a little tougher because of the short notice, but might be
arranged under special circumstances.

    You asked about the nature of research here.  In the laboratory,
students generally couple calculations with experiment.  We specialize
in spectroscopic determinations of transport and electronic structure
using scanning probes (STM and NSOM).  To gain a detailed understanding
of this, ab initio calculations must be compared with data.  We have
worked closely with J-C Charlier in Belgium, A. Rubio in Spain, and X.
Blase in France using a variety of theoretical techniques including
tight binding for structural information and LDA of DFT for electronics
calcs.

    Our tunneling microscope is a low temperature Besoke design copied
from the Julich group.  We are capable of running at LHe temperatures
for good energy resolution.  We are in the process of constructing a
near-field scanning optical microscope and a photon scanning tunneling
microscope.  These two new instruments should be on line around Dec.

    Our group focus is to understand the quantum dynamics and optical
response of individual nano-systems like carbon nanotubes, B-doped
nanotubes and filled nanotubes.  Look for our latest publications coming
out in the next months in PRL, JMR, and Advanced Materials.  The entire
group will also be at the MRS meeting in Boston.

  We would be pleased to consider your application for this year or next.

再套:

Dear Professor David Carroll:

  Thank you very much for your kind reply. I am sorry that during the
summer vacation I cannot read and reply your email in time.

  As stated in my first letter, my desired entrance date is in Fall
of 1999. And I would like to provide my test scores. My TOEFL test
score is 637 (Oct. 1997) with a TWE score of 5.0. My GRE test score
is 2240 (Oct. 1996 V670 M800 A770). My GRE Subject score is
920 (Oct. 1997 Physics). And I will take the TSE test in the coming
August. And my undergraduate and graduate GPA are both about 3.5 in
4.0, about top 10%-20% in my class.

  I wish to make a note that during my undergraduate study I was
quite young, and during my graduate study I take many efforts to
study the basic courses in Physics by myself, which may be the reason
my GPAs are not in the top 5%. But now I believe that I have been
quite familiar in the knowledges of Physics, both the courses and the
researches. So I hope that my test scores and grades are acceptable
to Clemson with financial supports.

  As to the research, I am very glad to learn the research background
you provided in your letter. I am quite familiar with the works of
X. Blase published in PRL and APL. I also know that J-C Charlier is
a famous specialist in this field. So perhaps I could do theoretical
research works in your group. Also, I am very glad to know that you
have the needed main instruments for carbon nanotubes in your group,
so that both theoretical and experimental works can be done.

  I am puzzled at the "MRS meeting in Boston" you mentioned in your
letter. What is the full-name of MRS? Is it a meeting specialized in
nano-systems? I do research works on carbon nanotubes almost totally
by myself, and perhaps are not familiar with such fixed terms. Would
you please explain the contents of this meeting? Thanks. And you
mentioned that your latest publications will come out in next months
in PRL. Would you please send me the page number of this paper in
PRL, and if possible, the full text of this paper? The journal PRL
reaches to China very late, usually several months to half a year
after published, and I don't have the account to find the full-texts
of PRL on-line.

  I am looking forward to receiving your warmhearted reply, Thanks.

                                              Yours sincerely
                                              Junjie LIU

搞定:

Dear Liu, Junjie,

    Thank you again for your email.  From the sounds of your scores and
grades, you should have no problem entering Clemson.  I am quite
familiar with the program that you are in and have had several close
friends that have been there at Tsinghua.  In fact, Yunxiou Guo was in
graduate school with me and she was in the accelerated program.  She has
done extremely well in the U.S. and after graduation went on to do some
first rate science at a university in California.

    Since 1999 is your target date, I can begin to arrange funding for a
research assistantship for you.  These are nicer than teaching
assistantships because they allow you to focus only on your research.
Naturally, you will not be obligated to accept should you find other
options. However, I believe that you will be most welcomed here in my
group.

    You had asked about some of my publications, if you send me your
address I can send preprints.  They may take some time to get to China.
You can find some of our work listed on our web site under my cv.  This
is an incomplete list but the PRL of last year is there and the latest
hasnt yet been released from the publishers.

    We have been doing some interesting things lately with topological
defects on tube manifolds that you might like.  We have recently imaged
nanotubes which exhibit a change in chirality along the tube!  Tunneling
spectra show that this produces subtle changes in the LDOS as predicted
in some of X. Blase's work.  We have also begun optical studies on
individual nanotubes using near-field scanning optical microscopy and
spectroscopy.  We are particualry interested in how the surface plasmon
resonances (governed by tube topology) effects the third order nonlinear
susceptability in these objects.

   Thank you again for your interest in our group.  May I suggest that we
keep in contact over the year.  Let me know your progress and I will try
to help with the application procedures should you decide to join us.

Sincerely,

Dave Carroll
