Workshop: Designed Quantum Materials Workshop; To be Held at The National Institute of Standards and Technology, in Gaithersburg, MD January 23-24, 2018

设计的量子材料研讨会将在确定下一代电子设备研究的新方向方面发挥关键作用。它将促进领先研究人员之间的互动，探索新的设备概念和技术，并将重点放在将此类研究成果转化为纳米制造的技术挑战和障碍上。研讨会的亮点将通过研讨会及其调查结果的报告获得，该报告将发布在易于访问的公共媒体上。这笔赠款提供资金，支持研究生和特邀研究人员参加研讨会，以及2018年1月23-24日在马里兰州盖瑟斯堡的国家标准与技术研究所(NIST)举行的研讨会的会议组织费用。设计的量子材料研讨会将解决在半导体中精确放置掺杂剂以改善自旋-轨道耦合的问题，以及研究二维(2D)性质和相关的纳米制造方面。要考虑的方法包括(1)提高Hubbard模型实验的掺杂位置的准确性；(2)研究设计的2D材料和验证各种固体物理模型；(3)开发产生技术相关的纳米制造方法的概念。沿着这些思路，将讨论和探索新类型的基础物理研究和超材料新体制的可能发展。这些也将在新设备和材料的纳米制造的创新技术方面得到考虑。

The Designed Quantum Materials Workshop will play a key role in identifying new directions for research on next generation electronic devices. It will promote interactions between leading researchers, will explore new device concepts and technologies and will focus on the technical challenges and barriers of transitioning such research results into nanomanufacturing. The highlights of the symposium will be accessible through a report on the workshop and its findings that will be published in a readily accessible public medium.This grant provides funds to support graduate student and invited researcher participation, as well as conference organization expenses in a workshop to be held January 23-24, 2018, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The Designed Quantum Materials Workshop will address the questions of precise placement of dopants in semiconductors for better spin-orbit coupling, as well as the study of two-dimensional (2D) properties and related nanomanufacturing aspects. Approaches to be considered include (1) improved accuracy of dopant placement for Hubbard model experiments; (2) study of designed 2D materials and verification of various solid state physics models; (3) development of concepts that generate technologically relevant nanomanufacturing approaches. New types of fundamental physics studies and the possible development of new regimes of metamaterials will be discussed and explored along these lines. These will also be considered in terms of innovative technologies for the nanomanufacturing of new devices and materials.
