What principles govern the organization of electrons in a crystalline solid? Can we control the organization and dynamics of electrons? How thin can we make a superconductor and still retain its superconducting properties? Can superconductivity emerge at the nanoscale interface between two different crystals? Can light-matter interaction lead to new optically-induced electronic states in solids? Can these states lead to new types of photovoltaics? Making progress on such fundamental issues is the key to synthesizing nanoscale devices, and creating new energy and communication technologies, both of which are expected to be of immense benefit to Canada.

晶体中电子的排列是由什么原理决定的？我们能控制电子的组织和动力学吗？我们能把超导体做得多薄，同时还能保持它的超导特性？超导性能出现在两种不同晶体之间的纳米界面上吗？光-物质相互作用能在固体中产生新的光致电子态吗？这些状态能导致新型的光化学吗？在这些基本问题上取得进展是合成纳米级器件、创造新能源和通信技术的关键，预计这两者都将给加拿大带来巨大利益。
