US-EU 2D Workshop to be held in San Sebastian, Spain, September 10-14, 2018

美国-欧盟二维(2D)分层材料和器件研讨会的拟议项目寻求资金支持，以支持研究人员参加2018年9月10日至14日在西班牙圣塞巴斯蒂安举行的研讨会。它将与欧洲石墨烯旗舰组织的石墨烯周联合举办，将有许多参与NSF赞助的2-DARE(二维原子层研究和工程)计划的研究人员参加。讲习班将讨论范围广泛的非石墨烯2D原子层的研究领域，如磷烯、过渡金属二硫属化合物、六方氮化硼、碳氮化物的三元化合物和复合氧化物。研讨会将汇聚来自欧洲和美国的从事石墨烯及石墨烯以外2D材料和设备研究的领先科学家，以帮助促进未来的合作和应对共同的挑战。它应该通过这次研讨会可能促进的人员交流计划，包括教师、研究生和博士后研究员的双边交流，对科学和工程学科的学习产生积极影响。计划向参加会议的美国博士生提供支持，以增进他们的理解，并与欧洲同行建立合作关系。参加石墨烯周展览的学生将有机会向来自世界各地的更大的石墨烯科技界展示美国的研究。它将促进与欧盟石墨烯旗舰项目管理者和NSF的合作，这将导致未来可以促进联合合作项目的国际活动。预计讲习班将在详细解决二维材料和装置研究中目前面临的瓶颈和确定新的研究方向方面发挥关键作用。二维层状材料在微电子、光电子、健康和医疗诊断、能源收集和环境监测等领域具有很高的潜力，可以催生技术突破和影响社会的颠覆性技术。它将通过促进美国和欧洲顶尖研究人员之间潜在的国际合作伙伴关系，讨论这一高度动态和跨学科领域未来研究的广泛方向，从而产生重大而广泛的影响。详细介绍讨论主题和结论/建议的最终报告也将公布。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The proposed project on US-EU Two-Dimensional (2D) Layered Materials and Devices Workshop seeks financial support to support researcher participation in a workshop to be held September 10-14, 2018 in San Sebastian, Spain. It will run in association with Graphene Week, which is an event organized by the European Graphene Flagship and will be attended by many Researchers involved in the NSF sponsored 2-DARE (Two-Dimensional Atomic-layer Research and Engineering) program. The Workshop will address research areas of a wide range of non-graphene 2D atomic layers such as phosphorene, transition metal di-chalcogenides, hexagonal boron nitride, tertiary compounds of carbo-nitrides, and complex oxides. The Workshop will bring together leading scientists working on graphene and beyond graphene 2D materials and devices from Europe and the United States to help promote future collaborations and address common challenges. It should positively impact learning in the science and engineering disciplines through personnel exchange programs that are likely to catalyze from this workshop, including bi-lateral exchange of faculty, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. There is support planned to be provided to US doctoral students participating in the meeting to advance their understanding and to build collaborations with their counterparts in Europe. Students participating in the Graphene Week Exhibition will have the opportunity to present the US research to the greater science and technology graphene community from all over the world. It will prompt collaborations with the EU Graphene Flagship program administrators and NSF that will lead to international activities that can facilitate joint collaborative programs in the future. The Workshop is expected to play a key role in addressing in detail currently faced bottlenecks in 2D material and device research and identifying new directions for research. 2D layered materials has a high potential for spawning technological breakthroughs and disruptive technologies impacting society in the areas of microelectronics, optoelectronics, health and medical diagnostics, energy harvesting, and environmental monitoring. It will have significant broader impact by catalyzing potential international partnerships between leading researchers in the US and Europe to discuss broad directions for future research in this highly dynamic and interdisciplinary area. A final report detailing the discussion topics and conclusions/recommendations will also be posted.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
