Workshop: "Valleytronic Materials, Applications, and Devices" to be held at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA August 22-23, 2017

“电子材料、应用和器件”研讨会将于2017年8月22日至23日在马萨诸塞州剑桥的麻省理工学院举行。它将专注于一类设备，并将接待该领域领先的valley tronics研究人员，他们的专业知识范围从合成、表征、设备开发、理论和应用。这些设备利用电荷载流子的动量状态来代替电荷和/或自旋，或与电荷和/或自旋相结合，并有望为信息处理提供新的自由度。讲习班寻求财政支持，以便将会议扩大到包括学生和博士后与会者、一次学生海报会议、一次学生/博士后午餐和一次问答会议，并将讲习班延长半天，以拟定一份关于电子电子领域的白皮书草稿。研究生将参加这次会议，既是一次教育机会(类似于为期两天的Valley tronics短期课程)，也是一次与高级研究人员互动的机会，否则他们可能无法在更大的研讨会上接触到这些研究人员。还计划为研究生和博士后举办一次海报会议，介绍他们在该领域的工作。

The Workshop on "Valleytronic Materials, Applications, and Devices" will be held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA on 22-23 August, 2017. It will focus on a class of devices and will host leading Valleytronics researchers in the field whose expertise range from synthesis, characterizations, device development, theory and applications. The devices make use of the momentum state of charge carriers instead of, or in combination with, charge and/or spin and are expected to provide a new degree of freedom for information processing. The Workshop seeks financial support to allow extension of the conference to include student and postdoc attendees, a student poster session, a student/postdoc lunch and a Q&A session, and a half day extension to the workshop to develop a draft of a whitepaper in the area of valleytronics. The meeting will be attended by graduate students as both an educational opportunity (similar to a 2-day short-course in Valleytronics) and as an opportunity to interact with senior researchers to whom they otherwise may not have access at larger symposia. A poster session is also planned for graduate students and postdocs to present their work related to the field.
