项目摘要

Nontechnical description: Materials are so essential to societal advance that early civilizations are often named after a particular material (e.g. "Bronze age' and "Iron age"). Pivotal materials at the foundation of our modern civilization are far too diverse to name just a few. Electronics and photonics, nevertheless, capture the key technologies and industries that influence every aspect of our lives such as computing, communications, and health care. Advances in photonic and electronic materials thus bring unquestionable societal benefits in catalyzing revolutionary changes and transforming the platform that technologies are built on. The two-day workshop brings together leading experts performing research in several classes of materials that are representative of advanced electronic and photonic materials. Scientists and researchers working in the areas of electronic and photonic materials develop synthetic methods, characterization techniques and computational methods for new materials discovery, with potential for delivering transformative scientific and societal impacts. Young researchers trained in the field of electronic and photonic materials are also vital for ensuring the nation's competitive advantage in areas critical to national security, economic growth, and sustainable societal development. Technical description: This workshop brings together leading experts to discuss the current challenges and future opportunities in the broad field of electronic and photonic materials. The goal of the proposed workshop is threefold: (i) to better understand what the scientific community views as current frontiers and future opportunities for electronic and photonic materials research; (ii) to assess the readiness within the research community to address scientific questions of national and societal importance; and (iii) to identify gaps and new areas for research in electronic and photonic materials in the near-future. The specific scope of the workshop covers epitaxially grown materials (semiconductors, oxide, and hybrid materials), van der Waals materials, polymeric/flexible materials, and metamaterials. Effective material development requires integrated efforts in computation, synthesis, characterization, and prototypical device demonstration. Workshop participants include experts in all these areas. A report summarizing the workshop serves to inform fellow researchers, policy makers, and the general public. The material platforms under discussion hold substantial promise for advancing communications, information processing, health care, and clean energy technologies. Young researchers trained in these research areas are vital for continually driving economic growth, ensuring competitive advantages in national security, and providing solutions for sustainable societal development.

非技术描述：材料对于社会进步至关重要，以至于早期文明通常以特定材料命名（例如“青铜时代”和“铁器时代”）。现代文明基础的关键材料种类繁多，无法仅举几例。然而，电子和光子学捕获了影响我们生活各个方面的关键技术和产业，例如计算、通信和医疗保健。光子和电子材料的进步因此，在催化革命性变革和改变技术所依赖的平台方面带来了无可争议的社会效益。为期两天的研讨会汇集了领先的专家，他们对代表先进电子和光子材料的几类材料进行研究。电子和光子材料领域的科学家和研究人员开发用于新材料发现的合成方法、表征技术和计算方法，具有带来变革性科学和社会变革的潜力影响。在电子和光子材料领域接受培训的年轻研究人员对于确保国家在国家安全、经济增长和可持续社会发展关键领域的竞争优势也至关重要。技术描述：本次研讨会汇集了领先的专家，讨论电子和光子材料广泛领域当前的挑战和未来的机遇。拟议研讨会的目标有三个：(i) 更好地了解科学界认为当前前沿和未来机遇的内容。电子和光子材料研究； (ii) 评估研究界解决具有国家和社会重要性的科学问题的准备情况； (iii) 确定近期电子和光子材料研究的差距和新领域。研讨会的具体范围涵盖外延生长材料（半导体、氧化物和混合材料）、范德华材料、聚合物/柔性材料和超材料。有效的材料开发需要在计算、合成、表征和原型设备演示方面进行综合努力。研讨会参与者包括所有这些领域的专家。研讨会总结报告旨在为研究人员、政策制定者和公众提供信息。正在讨论的材料平台对于推进通信、信息处理、医疗保健和清洁能源技术具有重大前景。在这些研究领域接受过培训的年轻研究人员对于持续推动经济增长至关重要，确保国家安全竞争优势，为社会可持续发展提供解决方案。
