U.S.-Brazil Workshop: Correlation Effects on Surfaces and Nanostructure Systems, Angra dos Reis, Brazil, December 2005

在这次由国际科学与工程办公室美洲项目支持的研讨会上，塞尔吉奥·E·俄亥俄州大学的Ulloa将于2005年12月5日至8日在巴西里约热内卢州的安格拉杜斯雷斯支持一个由15名美国研究人员组成的小组参加为期两天的题为“表面和纳米结构系统的相关效应”的国际研讨会。 美国的研究人员包括博士后研究员，以及该领域的初级和高级研究人员。纳米科学是一个对许多不同学科产生影响的领域。 在本研讨会的结果将在一个重要的和专题的子领域，即相关效应的表面（就其性质而言，纳米级系统）和纳米结构。 把该地区的一些顶尖人士聚集在一起，深入交流成果和想法，这显然很重要。 该项目应加强与外国科学家的合作。 这是一个很好的方式，使年轻的拉丁美洲科学家（本科生，研究生和博士后）意识到继续在美国学习的可能性，该计划是很好的设置，以最大限度地提高这一点。

In this workshop supported by the Americas Program of the Office of International Science and Engineering, Dr. Sergio E. Ulloa of Ohio University will support the participation of a group of fifteen U.S. researchers in a two-day international workshop entitled "Correlation Effects on Surfaces and Nanostructure systems" in Angra dos Reis, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, December 5-8, 2005. The group of US researchers includes postdoctoral fellows, as well as junior and senior researchers in this area.Nanoscale science is a field with impact on many different disciplines. In the present workshop results will be presented on an important and topical subfield, namely correlation effects on surfaces (by their nature, nanoscale systems) and nanostructures. Bringing some of the top people in the area together for an intensive exchange of results and ideas has obvious importance. The project should strengthen collaborations with foreign scientists. This is an excellent way to make young Latin American scientists (undergraduates, graduate students and post-docs) aware of the possibilities to continue their studies in the US, and the program is well set up to maximize this.
