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

美欧二维(2D)分层材料和器件研讨会的拟议项目寻求资金支持，以支持研究人员参加2017年10月23-25日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的研讨会。讲习班将讨论范围广泛的非石墨烯2D原子层的研究领域，如磷烯、过渡金属二硫属化合物、六方氮化硼、碳氮化物的三元化合物和复合氧化物。这些材料在多个衬底上的可伸缩合成技术以及层数和缺陷密度的控制将被讨论。研讨会将汇聚来自欧洲和美国的从事石墨烯及石墨烯以外2D材料和设备研究的领先科学家，以帮助促进未来的合作和应对共同的挑战。它还将把这两个地区的项目经理和管理人员聚集在一起，讨论可以建立的机制，以促进未来的联合研究项目。研讨会应该通过人员交流计划对科学和工程学科的学习产生积极影响，这些计划可能会在研讨会上起到促进作用，包括教师、研究生和博士后研究员的双边交流。此次研讨会将通过促进美国和欧洲的领先研究人员之间潜在的国际合作伙伴关系，讨论这一高度动态和跨学科领域未来研究的广泛方向，从而产生重大而广泛的影响。预计它将促进教师、研究生和博士后研究员的双边交流。通过这种交流，工作坊还将促进培训一支参与全球事务的劳动力，这将有助于推动科学和工程在当今全球经济中的突破。还将张贴详细说明讨论主题和结论/建议的最后报告。

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.
