This Inter-American Materials Collaboration project addresses correlation effects and transport in nanostructured materials. The project brings together groups led by Sergio Ulloa, Ohio University, and Adriana Moreo, Florida State University, in the US, Guillermo Chiappe, Universidad de Buenos Aires, in Argentina, and Maria Davidovich and Enrique Anda, Pontificia Universidade Catolica, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The main scientific goals of this effort are: (i) to study the subtle quantum properties of transport across nanosystems, such as quantum dots and molecules, by applying a variety of computational and analytical methods, and (ii) to search for common aspects in the physics of artificially created nanostructures and self-generated nanoclusters in oxides, such as manganites and cuprates. The activities significantly contribute to the training of young researchers, who achieve a broad education in both condensed matter and computational physics. In addition, the collaboration strengthens the research environments in the participating institutions, and establishes new partnerships in the continent. The project includes organization of a workshop on correlation effects in nanostructured materials, that brings together about 30 researchers from all the Americas to further stimulate exchanges and collaborations among experimental and theoretical groups. This award is supported by the Division of Materials Research, the Office of International Science and Engineering, and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

这个美洲材料合作项目致力于纳米结构材料的相关效应和传输。 该项目汇集了由俄亥俄州大学的Sergio Ulloa和美国佛罗里达州立大学的Adriana Moreo，阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的Guillermo Chiappe以及巴西里约热内卢天主教大学的Maria Davidovich和Enrique Anda领导的小组。这项工作的主要科学目标是：㈠通过应用各种计算和分析方法，研究纳米系统（如量子点和分子）之间传输的微妙量子特性; ㈡寻找人工创建的纳米结构和氧化物（如锰氧化物和铜氧化物）中自生纳米团簇的物理学共同点。这些活动极大地促进了年轻研究人员的培训，他们在凝聚态和计算物理学方面都获得了广泛的教育。此外，合作加强了参与机构的研究环境，并在非洲大陆建立了新的伙伴关系。该项目包括组织一次关于纳米结构材料相关效应的讲习班，来自美洲各地的约30名研究人员参加了讲习班，以进一步促进实验和理论小组之间的交流与合作。该奖项由材料研究部，国际科学与工程办公室以及数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室支持。
