US-EU 2D Workshop to be held in Arlington, VA Oct. 23-25, 2017

拟议中的美国-欧盟二维（2D）分层材料和器件研讨会项目寻求财政支持，以支持研究人员参加将于2017年10月23日至25日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的研讨会。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。这些材料在多个基板上的可扩展的合成技术和层数和缺陷密度的控制将得到解决。该研讨会将汇集来自欧洲和美国的石墨烯及石墨烯以外的2D材料和设备的领先科学家，以帮助促进未来的合作并应对共同的挑战。它还将汇集来自两个地区的项目经理和管理人员，讨论可以建立的机制，以促进未来的联合研究项目。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。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。预计这将促进教师、研究生和博士后研究员的双边交流。透过这些交流，工作坊亦有助培训一支全球参与的工作队伍，在现今全球经济中推动科学及工程的突破。详细介绍讨论主题和结论/建议的最终报告也将公布。

The proposed project on US-EU Two-Dimensional (2D) Layered Materials and Devices Workshop seeks financial support to support researcher participation in a workshop to be held October 23-25, 2017 in Arlington, VA. 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. Techniques of scalable synthesis of these materials on multiple substrates and control of layer number and defect density will be addressed. The Workshop will bring together leading scientists working on graphene and beyond graphene 2D materials and devices from Europe and the United States to help promote future collaborations and address common challenges. It will also bring together program managers and administrators from the two regions to discuss mechanisms that can be put in place to facilitate future joint research programs. 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. 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. It is expected that it will promote bi-lateral exchange of faculty, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. Through such exchange, the workshop will also facilitate the training of a globally engaged workforce which should help promote science and engineering breakthroughs in present-day global economy. A final report detailing the discussion topics and conclusions/recommendations will also be posted.
