U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research: Nanostructures Research

9724911 Ferry该奖项支持亚利桑那州立大学的David Ferry教授和日本千叶大学的Yuichi Ochiai教授之间为期三年的合作研究项目。研究人员将探索纳米结构研究的新应用。合作的目的是研究纳米器件中量子传输的本质，特别是量子点结构，因为它将出现在纳米器件中（作为“开放”器件而不是隧道器件）。他们将研究从经典到量子输运发生交叉的本质。通过对相位相干寿命的研究，他们还将研究在现实器件结构中观察量子力学效应的条件。该项目汇集了两个具有互补专业知识、研究能力和设备的实验室的努力。这项合作提供了实验和理论的独特结合。预计这些研究将为那些决定未来几代室温纳米器件运行的基本物理原理提供重要的见解。通过思想和技术的交流，该项目将扩大我们的基础知识基础，促进国际了解与合作。＊＊＊

9724911 Ferry This award supports a three year collaborative research project between Professor David Ferry of Arizona State University and Professor Yuichi Ochiai of Chiba University in Japan. The researchers will be exploring new applications for nanostructures research. The objective of the collaboration is to study the nature of quantum transport in nanodevices, in particular the quantum dot structure as it will appear in nanodevices (as an "open" device and not a tunneling device). They will investigate the nature in which the crossover from classical to quantum transport occurs. Through studies of the phase coherent lifetime, they will also investigate the conditions under which quantum mechanical effects can be observed in realistic device structures. This project brings together the efforts of two laboratories that have complementary expertise, research capabilities and equipment. The collaboration provides a unique combination of experiment and theory. It is anticipated that these studies will provide an important insight into those fundamental physical principles which will determine the operation of future generations of room temperature nanodevices. Through the exchange of ideas and technology, this project will broaden our base of basic knowledge and promote international understanding and cooperation. ***
