US-Spain Workshop on Nanoscale Materials, Segovia, Spain, September 20-23, 2005

这项为期12个月的合同允许国际和平研究所支持一个研讨会，“美国-西班牙纳米材料研讨会，2005年9月，西班牙马德里”。研讨会将聚焦于新兴科学领域，有望在未来十年及以后实现增长。同时，研讨会将侧重于制定研究议程和开始合作的筹资战略。美国的主办方代表两所美国大学(佐治亚理工学院和加州大学圣迭戈分校)以及阿贡国家实验室；西班牙的主办方代表奥维耶多大学和康普伦斯大学。研讨会的参与者将专注于传统块状金属、超导体、半导体和磁性材料的纳米薄膜和纳米颗粒的基本方面。将重点介绍纳米材料，包括制备、新现象和应用。美国和西班牙的参与者在磁学、超导和半导体物理和器件等领域有着很强的重叠和互补的专业知识。研讨会的大多数参与者将是处于职业生涯早期阶段的研究人员，研讨会旨在对他们的职业生涯产生重大影响。他们将有机会在另一个研究环境中建立国际合作和经验，并将更好地准备参与其他全球项目。

This 12-month award allows the PI to support a workshop, "US-Spain Workshop on Nanoscale Materials, Madrid, Spain, September 2005." The workshop will focus on emerging scientific areas with promise for growth over the next decade and beyond. The workshop will, in parallel, focus on developing a research agenda and a funding strategy to begin collaboration. The US organizers represent two US universities (Georgia Tech and UCSD) as well as Argonne National Laboratory; the Spanish organizers represent the universities of Oviedo and Complutense.The workshop participants will focus on the fundamental aspects of nanofilms and nanoparticles of traditionally bulk metals, superconductors, semiconductors and magnetic materials. Nanoscale materials will be emphasized, including fabrication, new phenomena, and applications. The US and Spanish participants have areas of strong overlap and complementary expertise in fields including magnetism, superconductivity and semiconductor physics and devices.The majority of the workshop participants will be researchers in the early stages of their careers, and the workshop is designed to have a strong impact on their careers. They will have the opportunity to establish international collaborations and experience in another research environment and will be better equipped to participate in other global projects.
