Manipulation and Detection of Physical Properties of Two-Dimensional Quantum Materials

这项提案旨在部分支持18名本科生、研究生、博士后和代表性不足的女性、初级和退休教师参加并出席2021年4月18日至23日在华盛顿州西雅图举行的春季材料研究会(MRS)全国会议上的量子和纳米材料研讨会。这次研讨会的主要焦点是讨论用于操纵和检测物理性质(磁性、超导、结构、光电子学等)的最先进的实验工具和理论计算。量子材料、异质结构和器件，特别是原子薄晶体，其响应很难用传统的体相技术来检测。这次会议是世界上最重要的材料研究国际科学会议，MRS会议展示了基础和应用领域的领先跨学科研究，由来自世界许多国家的学术界和工业界的科学家协调。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。

This proposal seeks to partially support 18 undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, and under-represented, female, junior and retired faculty to attend and present at the symposium on Quantum and Nanomaterials at the Spring Materials Research Society (MRS) national meeting in Seattle, Washington, April 18-23, 2021. The main focus of this symposium is to discuss the advanced state-of-the-art experimental tools and theoretical calculations used to manipulate and detect the physical properties (magnetic, superconducting, structural, opto-electronics, etc.) of quantum materials, heterostructures and devices, particularly, on the atomically thin crystals, whose response is exceedingly difficult to detect by employing conventional bulk techniques. This meeting is the world's foremost international scientific gathering for materials research, the MRS meeting showcases leading interdisciplinary research in both fundamental and applied areas, coordinated by scientists from both academia and industry in many countries around the world.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.
