U.S.-India Planning Visit: Study of ZnO Quantum Dots Embedded in Microcavities.

0631985 Vinod Menon该奖项支持美国-印度计划访问：嵌入微腔的ZnO量子点研究。 纽约市立大学皇后学院的美国PI Vinod Menon将与浦那大学的Shailaja Mahamuni教授合作。 他们的合作将集中在开发基于微腔中ZnO量子点的高效光子源，并探索强耦合机制下的极化激元发射。 此次合作汇集了独特的专业知识组合，即皇后学院Menon教授的量子微腔结构小组与浦那Mahamuni教授的小组，后者在合成高效紫外线（UV）发射氧化锌（ZnO）方面经验丰富。 PI希望为长期合作奠定基础，使用ZnO材料系统开发高效的经典和量子发射器。 这项研究将启动国际合作，从而开发出紫外线波长范围内的高效发光体。 该研究计划将涉及两国的本科生，研究生和博士后学生，并为包括学生和研究学者交流在内的更大规模的多年努力奠定基础。 将通过介绍和出版物广泛传播成果。 每个研究人员将向NSF/DST联合计划提交多年努力的提案。

0631985Vinod MenonThis award supports the U.S -India Planning Visit: Study of ZnO Quantum Dots Embedded in Microcavities. US PI Vinod Menon of CUNY Queens College will collaborate with Professor Shailaja Mahamuni of the University of Pune. Their collaborative effort will focus on developing efficient photon sources based on ZnO quantum dots in microcavities and exploring polariton emission under the strong coupling regime. The collaboration brings together a unique combination of expertise, namely Professor Menon's quantum microcavity structures group at Queens College with Professor Mahamuni's group in Pune, which is highly experienced in synthesizing efficient ultra-violet (UV) emitting zinc oxides (ZnO). The PIs expect to lay the ground work for a long term collaboration to develop highly efficient classical and quantum emitters using the ZnO material system. This research will initiate international collaboration that can lead to developing efficient light emitters in the ultra-violet wavelength range. The research program will involve undergraduate, graduate, post-doctorate students in both countries and lay the basis for a larger multi-year effort that includes the exchange of students and research scholars. Results will be disseminated broadly through presentations and publications. The proposal for the multi-year effort will be submitted by each investigator to the NSF/DST joint program.
