8th van der Ziel Symposium on Quantum 1/f Noise and Other Low Frequency Fluctuations, Mainly in GaN, Quantum, or Nanometric Devices on June 5-6,2000 at Univ of Missouri St. Louis

本提案旨在为“八。“主要在氮化镓、量子或纳米器件中的量子1/f噪声和其他低频波动国际范德齐尔研讨会”，由作者和密苏里大学圣路易斯市的A. L. Chung组织。2000年6月5日至6日，密苏里州圣路易斯市。本次国际研讨会将汇集来自大学、工业和政府研究实验室的研究人员，他们在量子1/f噪声和其他低频波动领域工作。这次研讨会主要集中在氮化镓块状材料、薄片、量子结构和器件。这对于光电器件和集成尤为重要。较低的量子1/f噪声被预测为宽带隙材料和器件，因为它们的有效质量更大的电流载流子。本文重点介绍了量子1/f噪声领域的研究现状和研究方向。这次会议的资金是很重要的，因为高科技正越来越成为一场信号和噪声之间的竞赛，在设备中执行以前不可能完成的任务；低噪声的红外探测器，squid，逻辑板或核磁共振机将具有竞争优势。量子1/f噪声是存在于所有物理截面和电流中的量子混沌的基本形式，它限制了大多数高科技设备的性能。此外，电子噪声已成为电子设备质量控制的重要内容。电子噪声的研究现在代表了一种重要的诊断工具，它提供了关于电流载流子的性质和寿命的重要信息，以及限制载流子迁移的过程的性质。本次研讨会与会者的主要目标是在这一新领域进行合作，以进一步降低已知器件中的1/f噪声，并将其应用扩展到正在开发的新器件中，特别是涉及高温度超导体的器件。研讨会的重点还包括在最严格的条件下进一步发展量子1/f理论，以及它与量子和经典决定论混沌研究的联系。最后，期望本次研讨会通过一般的低1/f噪声设计和优化原则，使几乎所有的高科技应用受益，并提高对量子1/f效应作为技术上重要的基本自然规律的理解。

This proposal seeks funding for the "VIII. International van der Ziel Symposium on Quantum 1/f Noise andOther Low Frequency Fluctuations, Mainly in GaN, Quantum, or Nanometric Devices," organized by the author and A. L. Chung at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, St. Louis, MO, on June 5-6, 2000. ThisInternational Symposium will bring together researchers from universities, industrial and governmental research laboratories, working in the field of Quantum 1/f noise and other low frequency fluctuations. This time the Symposium is focused primarily on GaN bulk material, thin sheets, quantum structures and devices. These are particularly important for opto-electronic devices and integration. Lower quantum 1/f noise is predicted for wide-band-gap materials and devices, because of their larger effectivemasses of the current carriers. This proposal focuses on the description of the present state and of the research directions in the field of quantum 1/f noise. Funding of this Conference is important, because high technology is becoming more and more a race between signal and noise in devices performing previously impossible tasks; the lowest noise infrared detectors, SQUIDs, logic boards or NMR machines will have the competitive edge. Quantum 1/f noise is a fundamental form of quantum chaos present in all physical cross sections and currents, which limits the performance of most high-technology devices. Furthermore, electronic noise has become important in the quality control of electronic devices. The study of electronic noise now represents an important diagnostic tool that provides important information on the nature and life time of the current carriers, as well as on the nature of the processes which limit the mobility of thecarriers. The main objective of the participants at the present Symposium is to cooperate in this newfield, in order to further reduce the 1/f noise in the known devices, and to extend the application to new devices which are now being developed, in particular involving high T c superconductors. The Focus of the Symposium also includes further development of the quantum 1/f theory in most rigorous terms, and its connection to studies of quantum and classical deterministic chaos. Finally, it is expected that this Symposium to benefit virtually all high-tech applications, through general low 1/f noise design and optimization principles, and to improve the understanding of the quantum 1/f effect as a technically important fundamental law of nature.
