Travel: Participant support to attend the 8th Spin Mechanics workshop being held in Portland, Oregon on August 5-8, 2024

这项学生支持将使美国研究生和博士后学者能够参加在俄勒冈州波特兰市举行的第八届旋转力学研讨会。这次国际会议汇集了领先的研究人员，讨论将磁性（从电子的“自旋”）与机械运动或变形耦合在一起的物理和工程现象的最新发展。该研讨会此前曾在日本、德国、加拿大和法国举行，此次将首次在美国举行。对于年轻的美国科学家来说，这是一个独特的机会，可以在轻松和学院的氛围中向他们所在领域的国际领导人展示他们的工作，并开始在研究界建立一个同事网络。这一领域的研究是一项全球性的努力，在欧洲、亚洲和加拿大都有非常强大的政府支持的研究集群。美国科学家参加该研讨会将提高国内在这一研究领域的竞争力和领导地位，并促进国际合作。“自旋力学”检查磁自旋和机械自由度之间的耦合在材料和设备。它代表了物理学和工程学交叉的前沿领域，将在下一代自旋电子学和量子计算设备的开发中发挥关键作用。特别是在量子计算和通信的新兴领域，理解和利用自旋态、光子和声子之间的相互作用是至关重要的。技术主题包括，磁子-声子耦合（或自旋波/声波相互作用），磁性的声学操纵，声学的磁控制，通过机械转导控制或读出量子自旋态，磁弹性材料和器件，应变介导的合成多铁结构和器件，纳米机械系统中自旋上的扭矩和力，自旋热电子学，腔磁力学，微或纳米机械磁传感，测量或成像，非惯性参考系中的自旋。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

This student support will enable U.S. graduate students and post-doctoral scholars to participate in the 8th Spin Mechanics workshop in Portland, Oregon. The international conference brings together leading researchers to discuss the latest developments in the physics and engineering of phenomena which couple magnetism (from the “spin” of electrons) to mechanical movement or deformation. The workshop, which has previously been held in Japan, Germany, Canada, and France, will take place in the US for the first time. It is a unique opportunity for young US-based scientists to present their work to international leaders in their field in a relaxed and collegial atmosphere and to begin establishing a network of colleagues in the research community. Research in this field is a global endeavor with very strong, government-supported research clusters in Europe, Asia, and Canada. The participation of US-based researchers in the workshop will enhance domestic competitiveness and leadership in this research area and promote international collaborations. “Spin mechanics” examines the coupling between the magnetic spin and mechanical degrees of freedom in materials and devices. It represents a cutting-edge field at the intersection of physics and engineering that will play a pivotal role in the development of next-generation of devices for spintronics and quantum computing. Particularly in the emerging field of quantum computation and communication, understanding and exploiting the interactions between spin states, photons and phonons is of fundamental importance. Technical topics include, magnon-phonon coupling (or spin-wave / acoustic-wave interaction), acoustic manipulation of magnetism, magnetic control of acoustics, control or readout of quantum spin states by mechanical transduction, magneto-elastic materials and devices, strain-mediated synthetic multiferroic structures and devices, torques and forces on spins in nanomechanical systems, spin-caloritronics, cavity magnomechanics, micro- or nano-mechanical magnetic sensing, measurement or imaging, and spins in non-inertial reference frames.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.
