9815245MajumdarThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on Molecular and Microscale Thermophysical Phenomena in Nanotechnology, to be held in Sendai, Japan, from August 8-11, l999. The co-organizers are Professors Arun Majumdar at the University of California, Berkeley and Susumu Kotake at Toyo University in Japan. The seminar will provide a cross-disciplinary and international forum for discussion and presentation of the latest results in the area of molecular and microscale thermophysical phenomena related to nanotechnology. Seminar discussion will be held in the following five areas: 1) transport phenomena in micro- and nanostructures; 2) new experimental techniques, sensors, detectors and devices; 3) interfacial and surface phenomena; 4) molecular clustering and phase transformation; and 5) highly non-equilibrium and complex transport phenomena. Exploration, understanding, and control of physical phenomena at the nanometer scales have received intense attention in recent years. In the past, most of this effort has been directed towards understanding the electronic and materials behavior of nanostructures. However, the thermophysics of nanostructures and nanodevices have not been adequately addressed. It must be recognized that although the nature of physical phenomena at nanometer scales can be quite diverse, they must all satisfy the basic laws of thermodynamics. Hence, thermophysics at nanometer scales provides a unique window to study a wide variety of phenomena. Only recently have researchers started working on microscale thermophysics to study short time scale and small length scale phenomena. These studies have led to key insight and promising prospects of research in this area. Seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve younger researchers as both participants and observers. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in this field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Following the seminar, it is anticipated that the presentations will be prepared and, if accepted, published in Microscale Thermophysical Engineering.***

9815245 Majumdar该奖项支持美国科学家参与一项美国- 1999年8月8日至11日在日本仙台举行的关于纳米技术中的分子和微尺度热物理现象的日本研讨会。 共同组织者是加州大学伯克利分校的Arun Majumdar教授和日本东洋大学的Susumu Kotake。 研讨会将提供一个跨学科的国际论坛，讨论和介绍与纳米技术有关的分子和微尺度热物理现象领域的最新成果。 研讨会将讨论以下五个领域：1）微观和纳米结构中的传输现象; 2）新的实验技术，传感器，检测器和设备; 3）界面和表面现象; 4）分子聚集和相变;和5）高度非平衡和复杂的传输现象。近年来，对纳米尺度物理现象的探索、理解和控制受到了广泛的关注。 在过去，大部分的努力都是针对理解纳米结构的电子和材料行为。 然而，纳米结构和纳米器件的热物理尚未得到充分解决。 必须认识到，尽管纳米尺度上的物理现象的性质可以是多种多样的，但它们都必须满足热力学的基本定律。 因此，纳米尺度的热物理学为研究各种各样的现象提供了一个独特的窗口。 直到最近，研究人员才开始研究微尺度热物理学，以研究短时间尺度和小长度尺度的现象。 这些研究为这一领域的研究提供了重要的见解和广阔的前景。 研讨会的组织者作出了特别努力，让年轻的研究人员既参加研讨会，又作为观察员参加。 与日本专家在这一领域的想法和数据交流将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。 研讨会结束后，预计将编写专题介绍，如果被接受，将在《微尺度热物理工程》上发表。
