PROPOSAL NO.: CTS-0601099PROPOSAL TYPE: INVESTIGATOR INITIATEDPRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS: M. GAD-EL-HAKINSTITUTION: VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY SUPPORT OF THE WORKSHOP ENTITLED SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TRANSPORT PHENOMENA IN MICRO-AND NANO-DEVICESInterest in micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS, respectively) has experienced explosive growth during the past few years. Rapid progress in fabricating and utilizing MEMS and NEMS has not been matched by corresponding advances in understanding of the unconventional physics involved. Providing such understanding is crucial to designing, optimizing, fabricating, utilizing and controlling improved minute devices. This international workshop has the primary objective of improving fundamental understanding of the physics of transport phenomena in micro- and nano-devices. Partial support from the National Science Foundation will facilitate the attendance of several American students and other researchers who would otherwise be unable to attend. The workshop will take place 11-15 June 2006, in Barga, Italy. The first workshop in this series was held 17-21 October 2004 in Kona, Hawaii. This meeting will bring together a small but select group of researchers interested in all aspects of transport phenomena in MEMS and NEMS, i.e. transport of mass, momentum, energy and quantum particles in devices with characteristic lengths as small as 1 micrometer and 1 nanometer, respectively. A unique aspect of this workshop is bringing together two communities that have not interacted much in the past, those of quantum transport and classical transport. The broader impact resulting from the proposed activity lies in its focus on rapidly advancing micro- and nanotechnologies. The fundamental understanding that the workshop provides will result in potential advances in areas such as: micro- and nano-systems involving particulate and other multiphase flows, mixing, combustion, energy conversion, computing, biochips, photonics, microfabrication involving transport phenomena, such as spin coating and etching, quantum dots and circuits, electronic transport through organic and inorganic materials, molecular electronics, control of electronic wave functions in molecules, quantum computations, and single-electron devices. Selected papers and a roadmap for future research will be published in the form of a hard cover book or a special issue of Physics of Fluids and will be made widely available to the research communityJointly funded by the CTS programs of Fluid Dynamics & Hydraulics, Particulate & Multiphase Processes, and Thermal Transport & Thermal Processing.

提案编号： CTS-0601099提案类型： 主要发言人：M。GAD-EL-HAKINSTITUTION： 弗吉尼亚联邦大学支持题为第二届国际会议运输现象在微型和纳米器件的兴趣在微型和纳米机电系统（MEMS和NEMS，分别）经历了爆炸性增长，在过去的几年里。 MEMS和NEMS的制造和利用的快速进展并没有与对所涉及的非常规物理学的理解的相应进展相匹配。 提供这种理解对于设计、优化、制造、利用和控制改进的微小器件至关重要。 该国际研讨会的主要目标是提高对微纳米器件中传输现象物理学的基本理解。 美国国家科学基金会的部分支持将促进几名美国学生和其他研究人员的出席，否则他们将无法参加。 讲习班将于2006年6月11日至15日在意大利的巴尔加举行。这一系列讲习班的第一次讲习班于2004年10月17日至21日在夏威夷科纳举行。 这次会议将汇集一个小的，但选择的研究人员在MEMS和NEMS传输现象的各个方面感兴趣的小组，即传输的质量，动量，能量和量子粒子的特征长度分别为1微米和1纳米的设备。 这次研讨会的一个独特之处是将两个在过去没有太多互动的社区聚集在一起，即量子传输和经典传输。 拟议活动产生的更广泛影响在于其重点是迅速发展的微米和纳米技术。 讲习班提供的基本理解将在以下领域取得潜在进展：涉及微粒和其它多相流的微米和纳米系统、混合、燃烧、能量转换、计算、生物芯片、光子学、涉及传输现象的微制造（例如旋涂和蚀刻）、量子点和电路、通过有机和无机材料的电子传输，分子电子学，分子、量子计算和单电子器件中电子波函数的控制。 选定的论文和未来研究的路线图将以硬封面书籍或流体物理学特刊的形式出版，并将广泛提供给研究界，由流体动力学水力学，颗粒多相过程和热传输热处理的CTS计划共同资助。
