The proposed project seeks financial support to support researcher participation in a workshop to be held September 13-15, 2016 at the University of Manchester, Manchester, UK. The Workshop will address research areas of a wide range of non-graphene 2D atomic layers such as phosphorene, transition metal di-chalcogenides, hexagonal boron nitride, tertiary compounds of carbo-nitrides, and complex oxides. The workshop should positively impact learning in the science and engineering disciplines through personnel exchange programs that are likely to catalyze from this workshop, including bi-lateral exchange of faculty, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. Among the research challenges in the field of 2D layered materials are: a) devising techniques that can enable the scalable synthesis of these materials on multiple substrates, b) controlling layer number and defect density, c) understanding doping mechanisms and optimizing contacts for device research, d) utilizing interface-induced novel effects in planar and vertical heterostructures, e) developing predictive modeling and simulation techniques, and f) devising in situ and ex situ characterization techniques to measure material properties. This workshop will have significant broader impact by catalyzing potential international partnerships between leading researchers in the US and Europe to discuss broad directions for future research in this highly dynamic and interdisciplinary area. A final report detailing the discussion topics and conclusions/recommendations will also be posted.

拟议的项目寻求财政支持，以支持研究人员参加将于2016年9月13日至15日在英国曼彻斯特大学举行的研讨会。该研讨会将讨论广泛的非石墨烯2D原子层的研究领域，如磷烯，过渡金属二硫族化物，六方氮化硼，碳氮化物的三元化合物和复合氧化物。研讨会应积极影响科学和工程学科的学习，通过人员交流计划，可能会从这次研讨会催化，包括教师，研究生和博士后研究员的双边交流。2D层状材料领域的研究挑战包括：a）设计能够在多个衬底上可缩放地合成这些材料的技术，B）控制层数和缺陷密度，c）理解掺杂机制并优化用于器件研究的接触，d）在平面和垂直异质结构中利用界面诱导的新颖效应，e）开发预测建模和模拟技术，以及f）设计原位和非原位表征技术以测量材料性质。本次研讨会将通过催化美国和欧洲领先研究人员之间的潜在国际伙伴关系，讨论这一高度动态和跨学科领域未来研究的广泛方向，产生更广泛的影响。详细介绍讨论主题和结论/建议的最终报告也将公布。
