Presidential Young Investigator Award

这个总统青年研究者奖的主旨是将分子成分组织到超导表面上，以开发基于超导的大分子器件。最初的重点将集中在两个领域：(1)超导体/分子膜结，使用导电分子膜，如聚吡咯和聚乙炔；(2)用金属酞菁或稀土离子等染料薄膜涂覆约瑟夫森结制备的光学器件。

The thrust of this Presidential Young Investigator Award is to organize molecular components onto superconducting surfaces for the purpose of developing superconductor-based macromolecular devices. The initial focus will be on two areas: (1) superconductor / molecular film junctions, using conductive molecular films such as polypyrrole and polyacetylene; and (2) optical devices prepared by coating Josephson junctions with thin-films of dyes such as metallophthalocyanines or rare earth ions.
