U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research: Nanostructures Research

9724911 Ferry这个奖项支持亚利桑那州立大学的David Ferry教授和日本千叶大学的Yuichi Ochiai教授之间为期三年的合作研究项目。研究人员将探索纳米结构研究的新应用。合作的目标是研究纳米设备中量子传输的性质，特别是纳米设备中将出现的量子点结构(作为“开放”设备而不是隧道设备)。他们将研究从经典传输到量子传输发生交叉的本质。通过对位相相干寿命的研究，他们还将研究在实际器件结构中可以观察到量子力学效应的条件。该项目汇集了两个拥有互补专业知识、研究能力和设备的实验室的努力。这一合作提供了实验和理论的独特结合。预计这些研究将对那些将决定未来几代室温纳米设备的运行的基本物理原理提供重要的见解。通过思想和技术的交流，这个项目将扩大我们的基础知识基础，促进国际理解与合作。***

9724911 Ferry This award supports a three year collaborative research project between Professor David Ferry of Arizona State University and Professor Yuichi Ochiai of Chiba University in Japan. The researchers will be exploring new applications for nanostructures research. The objective of the collaboration is to study the nature of quantum transport in nanodevices, in particular the quantum dot structure as it will appear in nanodevices (as an "open" device and not a tunneling device). They will investigate the nature in which the crossover from classical to quantum transport occurs. Through studies of the phase coherent lifetime, they will also investigate the conditions under which quantum mechanical effects can be observed in realistic device structures. This project brings together the efforts of two laboratories that have complementary expertise, research capabilities and equipment. The collaboration provides a unique combination of experiment and theory. It is anticipated that these studies will provide an important insight into those fundamental physical principles which will determine the operation of future generations of room temperature nanodevices. Through the exchange of ideas and technology, this project will broaden our base of basic knowledge and promote international understanding and cooperation. ***
