Travel Funds to send US Students and Post-Doctorals to the International School and Symposium on Molecular Materials at the University of Rennes 1, France, October 2009

该奖项为在美国机构从事分子材料领域工作的初级研究人员提供支持，包括本科生、研究生和研究生，他们将参加2009年10月26日至30日在法国雷恩大学举行的第三届国际高级学校：分子开关和功能材料以及第五届日本-法国分子材料：电子学、光子学和自旋电子学研讨会。本提案的目的是让年轻的美国研究人员接触到分子材料的四个优先领域，这些领域是年轻研究人员培训计划的组成部分：(1)多功能材料：在材料设计，合成和测量的新兴领域工作。(2)极端环境下的测量：涉及高磁场、高压、高强度中子和光源的材料研究。(3)时间分辨动力学：用光学和飞秒方法探索分子结构中的光学、自旋、电荷和晶格机制的动力学。(4)器件应用：使分子材料适应电子（场效应）和光学（光收集、发射和开关）器件的技术。

This award provides support for junior researchers including undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students working in the area of molecular materials at US institutions to attend the 3rd International Advanced School: Molecular Switching and Functional Materials and the 5th Japan-France Symposium on Molecular Materials: Electronics, Photonics and Spintronics at the University of Rennes, France, Oct. 26-30, 2009.The purpose of this proposal is to expose young US researchers to four priority areas in molecular materials that are an integral part of the training program of the young researchers:(1) Multifunctional materials: to work in emerging areas of materials design, synthesis, and measurement.(2) Measurement in extreme environments: materials research involving high magnetic fields, high pressure, and high intensity neutron and light sources.(3) Time resolved dynamics: optical and femtosecond methods to explore the dynamics of optical, spin, charge, and lattice mechanisms in molecular structures.(4) Device applications: to adapt molecular materials to electronic (field effect) and optical (light harvesting, emitting, and switching) devices for technology.
