Support For US Invited Speakers To Attend MWN Spintronics Workshop In Beijing, China

美国国家科学基金会的资金将用于支持美国科学家参加将在中国北京举行的自旋电子材料研讨会“固体自旋输运研讨会”。研讨会的主要目标是为主要研究人员提供一个互动论坛，展示和讨论他们的最新发现，为主要来自中国的研究生和博士后提供一个平台，以口头和海报的形式描述他们的进展，并允许年轻和成熟的科学家彼此进行非正式和深入的讨论。科学范围从新型材料，包括浓缩和稀释磁性半导体，到半导体器件结构，到探测自旋动力学的技术，以及对非磁性材料中自旋运动的实验和理论描述。该研讨会的更广泛影响包括为初级研究人员提供国际经验，促进美国科学家与中国研究人员建立联系。

NSF funding will be used to support the participation of US scientists to a workshop on spintronic materials, "Workshop on Spin Transport in Solids", that will be held in Beijing, China. The main objective of the workshop is to provide an interactive forum for leading researchers to present and discuss their most recent findings, to afford a platform for graduate and post-doctoral students, primarily from China, to describe their progress in verbal and poster format, and to allow scientists, both young and mature, to have informal and in depth discussion with one another. The scientific scope ranges from novel materials, including concentrated and diluted magnetic semiconductors, to semiconductor device structures, to techniques to probe spin dynamics and to the description, both experimental and theoretical, of spin motion in non-magnetic materials. The broader impacts of the workshop range from providing an international experience to junior researchers to stimulate networking of US scientists with Chinese investigators.
