Abstract0428419James LeeGeorge Washington UniversityThe need of ever decreasing feature size on sensors and the need of sensor applications in extreme conditions have posed severe requirements on sensor materials, leading to the need for new materials. Development of such materials is an extraordinary challenge. Response to this challenge can be significantly aided by accurately predicting material behavior at nano/micro scale and under extreme conditions. The objective of this research is to provide a theoretical and computational basis for sensor developments, with the emphasis on nano/micro sensor materials in extreme conditions. It consists of two parts: (1) developing a multiscale field theory that exactly represents atomic N-body dynamics and can work as an alternative to, but computationally more efficient than atomic-level molecular dynamics simulation in studying statistical and high temperature properties of materials; (2) performing multiscale modeling to understand, predict and optimize complex material behavior of nano/micro sensors in extreme conditions. This is a project supported under the Sensors Initiative NSF 04-522.

摘要0428419詹姆斯·李乔治华盛顿大学传感器特征尺寸不断减小的需要以及传感器在极端条件下应用的需要对传感器材料提出了严格的要求，从而导致了对新材料的需求。开发此类材料是一项非凡的挑战。通过准确预测纳米/微米尺度和极端条件下的材料行为，可以极大地帮助应对这一挑战。这项研究的目的是为传感器的开发提供理论和计算基础，重点是极端条件下的纳米/微米传感器材料。 它由两部分组成：(1) 开发一种多尺度场论，准确地表示原子 N 体动力学，在研究材料的统计和高温特性时可以作为原子级分子动力学模拟的替代方案，但在计算上比原子级分子动力学模拟更有效; (2) 执行多尺度建模，以了解、预测和优化纳米/微米传感器在极端条件下的复杂材料行为。这是传感器倡议 NSF 04-522 支持的项目。
