ABSTRACTNational Science FoundationProposal Number: CTS-0646225Principal Investigator: Shakouri, AliAffiliation: University of California Santa CruzProposal Title: International Workshop on Nanoscale Energy Conversion and Information Processing DevicesThis grant will partially support the International Workshop on Nanoscale Energy Conversion and Information Processing Devices to be held September 24-26, 2006 in Nice, France. The conference will convene a select group of researchers primarily from the U.S. and France, to discuss and exchange knowledge in the area of nanoscale transport phenomena. Approximately 50 to 60 invited participants from the U.S. and France, and a few other countries will present talks at the seminar. The small size of the conference and its format will allow extensive discussion and interaction between participants. The workshop is con-sponsored by the French CNRS. Funding in the amount of $10,000 is requested from NSF. The funds will be used 100% to fund the international travel of the U.S. participants. Partial stipends will be awarded to as many participants as possible. The key U.S. participants that have been invited are noted in the proposal. Priority will be given to junior faculty.Intellectual Merit: The workshop will convene a bi-national group of experts to discuss the exploration, understanding, and control of physical phenomena at the nanometer scales. Research has shown ample evidence that when materials are nanostructured, they exhibit unique physical properties that are not found in bulk or even microstructured materials. Tunable optical properties in semiconductor quantum structures, and electron and phonon quantum transport in nanostructures are few examples. Although much effort in the past has been directed towards understanding the physics of electron, phonon and photon interactions in nanometer scales, the applications in energy conversion and in information processing seem to have distinct requirements and emphasis. This workshop hopes to merge these two communities with the possibility that the fusion of ideas will be of high impact to both communities.Broader Impact:This workshop will present an opportunity to share the knowledge in the area of energytransport and information processing devices. Its key target is to gather two communitiesboth working on transport phenomena at nanoscale. One is concerned with energy transfer and conversion and the second is designing devices for information processing based on photons or electrons transfer. There is a strong correlation in terms of theoretical understanding and numerical approaches between both communities. However, the contacts between the two groups are weak and rely on few researchers. The workshop impact will be built upon the notion of bridging the two communities. Junior faculty will be given priority in receiving travel stipends to the workshop.

摘要国家科学基金会提案编号：CTS-0646225 首席研究员：Shakouri, Ali 附属机构：加州大学圣克鲁斯分校提案名称：纳米级能量转换和信息处理设备国际研讨会这笔赠款将部分支持将于 2006 年 9 月 24 日至 26 日在法国尼斯举行的纳米级能量转换和信息处理设备国际研讨会。 该会议将召集主要来自美国和法国的一组精选研究人员，讨论和交流纳米级传输现象领域的知识。来自美国、法国和其他一些国家的约 50 至 60 名受邀与会者将在研讨会上发表演讲。 会议规模较小，其形式将允许与会者之间进行广泛的讨论和互动。 该研讨会由法国国家科学研究中心 (CNRS) 联合主办。 向 NSF 申请 10,000 美元的资金。该资金将100%用于资助美国参与者的国际旅行。 部分津贴将颁发给尽可能多的参与者。 提案中注明了受邀的美国主要参与者。 优先考虑初级教师。 智力优势：研讨会将召集两国专家组讨论纳米尺度物理现象的探索、理解和控制。研究表明，当材料为纳米结构时，它们会表现出散装材料甚至微结构材料所没有的独特物理特性。半导体量子结构中的可调谐光学特性以及纳米结构中的电子和声子量子传输只是几个例子。尽管过去的很多努力都是为了理解纳米尺度的电子、声子和光子相互作用的物理原理，但在能量转换和信息处理中的应用似乎有不同的要求和重点。 本次研讨会希望将这两个社区合并起来，思想的融合可能会对两个社区产生重大影响。更广泛的影响：本次研讨会将提供一个分享能源运输和信息处理设备领域知识的机会。其主要目标是聚集两个致力于纳米尺度传输现象的社区。一是涉及能量转移和转换，二是设计基于光子或电子转移的信息处理设备。两个社区之间的理论理解和数值方法之间存在很强的相关性。然而，这两个群体之间的联系很薄弱，依赖的研究人员也很少。研讨会的影响将建立在连接两个社区的理念之上。 初级教师将优先获得参加研讨会的旅费补贴。
