U.S.-India Planning Visit: Study of ZnO Quantum Dots Embedded in Microcavities.

0631985 Vinod Menon该奖项支持美国-印度计划访问：研究嵌入微腔中的氧化锌量子点。纽约州立大学皇后学院的美国皮维诺德·梅农将与浦那大学的谢拉贾·马哈穆尼教授合作。他们的合作将集中在开发基于微腔中的氧化锌量子点的高效光子源，以及探索强耦合条件下的极化发射。这次合作将独特的专业知识结合在一起，即皇后学院的Menon教授的量子微腔结构小组和浦那的Mahamuni教授的小组，后者在合成高效的紫外线(UV)发射氧化锌(ZnO)方面经验丰富。PI希望为长期合作奠定基础，以开发使用氧化锌材料系统的高效经典和量子发射器。这项研究将启动国际合作，从而开发出紫外线波长范围内的高效光发射器。该研究项目将涉及两国的本科生、研究生和博士后学生，并为更大规模的多年努力奠定基础，其中包括学生和研究学者的交流。结果将通过演示文稿和出版物广泛传播。关于多年努力的建议将由每个研究人员提交给NSF/DST联合计划。

0631985Vinod MenonThis award supports the U.S -India Planning Visit: Study of ZnO Quantum Dots Embedded in Microcavities. US PI Vinod Menon of CUNY Queens College will collaborate with Professor Shailaja Mahamuni of the University of Pune. Their collaborative effort will focus on developing efficient photon sources based on ZnO quantum dots in microcavities and exploring polariton emission under the strong coupling regime. The collaboration brings together a unique combination of expertise, namely Professor Menon's quantum microcavity structures group at Queens College with Professor Mahamuni's group in Pune, which is highly experienced in synthesizing efficient ultra-violet (UV) emitting zinc oxides (ZnO). The PIs expect to lay the ground work for a long term collaboration to develop highly efficient classical and quantum emitters using the ZnO material system. This research will initiate international collaboration that can lead to developing efficient light emitters in the ultra-violet wavelength range. The research program will involve undergraduate, graduate, post-doctorate students in both countries and lay the basis for a larger multi-year effort that includes the exchange of students and research scholars. Results will be disseminated broadly through presentations and publications. The proposal for the multi-year effort will be submitted by each investigator to the NSF/DST joint program.
