Defects, Electronic and Magnetic Properties in Advanced Two Dimensional Materials beyond Graphene

该提案主要旨在部分支持20名本科生，研究生，博士后和代表性不足的女性，初级和退休教师参加并出席2019年4月22日至26日在亚利桑那州凤凰城举行的春季材料研究学会（MRS）全国会议上举行的“量子和纳米材料”研讨会。 该会议是世界上最重要的材料研究国际科学聚会，MRS会议展示了基础和应用领域的领先跨学科研究，由来自世界许多国家的学术界和工业界的200多名科学家协调。会议的核心是其技术方案，其中包括54个专题讨论会，分为9个专题领域。研讨会QN02是在“量子和纳米材料”集群。该集群涉及8个专题讨论会，涉及广泛的量子和纳米材料的物理特性和器件概念。基本的科学方面和应用将被覆盖。该集群将专注于石墨烯以外的新型2D材料的理论，发现和设计的前沿，它们的异质结构和器件概念。该集群的一部分突出了最近在实验，理论和计算技术方面的重大发展，这些技术解决了控制热传输机制的挑战，从纳米到多尺度热传输，能量转换，存储和热管理。 此外，新兴材料的量子信息和新兴现象的氧化物量子材料也将被覆盖。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This proposal mainly seeks to partially support 20 undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs,and underrepresented, female, junior and retired faculty to attend and present at the symposium on"Quantum and Nanomaterials" at the Spring Materials Research Society (MRS) national meeting inPhoenix, AZ, April 22-26, 2019. This meeting is the world's foremost international scientific gathering for materials research, the MRS meeting showcases leading interdisciplinary research in both fundamental and applied areas, coordinated by over 200 scientists from both academia and industry in many countries around the world. The meeting's core is its technical program, which includes 54 symposia organized into nine topical areas. Symposium QN02 is in the "Quantum and Nanomaterials" cluster. This cluster involves 8 symposia addressing the physical properties and device concepts involving a wide range of quantum and nanomaterials. Both fundamental scientific aspects and applications will be covered. This cluster will focus on the forefront of theory, discovery, and design of novel 2D materials beyond graphene, their heterostructures and devices concepts. Part of the cluster highlights recent significant developments in the experimental, theoretical, and computational techniques that address the challenges in controlling heat transport mechanisms, from Nanoscale to Multiscale Thermal Transport, Energy Conversion, Storage and Thermal Management. In addition, Emerging Materials for Quantum Information and Emergent Phenomena in Oxide Quantum Materials will also be covered. Recent updates on the Colloidal Nanoparticles-From Synthesis to Applications will be presented and discussed.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
