This grant provides funds for a student paper competition and travel fellowships for graduate students from US universities to attend and participate in Phononics 2011: The First International Conference on Phononic Crystals, Metamaterials, and Optomechanics, to be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, May 29 through June 2, 2011). The study of phonons - although a core discipline in the conventional condensed matter physics literature - is currently being viewed in a new light. Whether examined at the nanoscale, microscale or larger scales, the analysis and manipulation of phonons (aka phononics) is opening up a new technological frontier with a potential impact that could match that of electronics almost half a century ago. This conference is the world's first conference to bring together the various sub-disciplines related to the study of phonons across the various length scales. The conference covers the following seven themes: (1) phononic crystals, (2) phononic metamaterials, (3) wave propagation in periodic structures, (4) nanoscale phonon transport, (5) phononic MEMS and RF applications, (6) optomechanics, and (7) characterization and fabrication for phononics.Through this grant NSF supports the conference by (1) provision of travel fellowships for graduate students from US universities to attend and participate in the conference; and (2) sponsorship of a student paper competition, coordinated by the conference organizing committees, for Best, Second Best and Third Best Paper. This support helps the conference in its mission to establish links among the broad and multidisciplinary US and international scientific communities working in phononics, and enhances the educational mission of the conference by encouraging the participation of numerous US-based students pursuing graduate studies in areas directly related to this emerging field.

这笔赠款为美国大学的研究生提供学生论文竞赛和旅行奖学金，以参加 2011 年声子学：第一届声子晶体、超材料和光机械国际会议，将于 5 月在新墨西哥州圣达菲举行2011 年 6 月 29 日至 6 月 2 日）。 声子研究虽然是传统凝聚态物理文献中的核心学科，但目前正以新的眼光来看待。无论是在纳米尺度、微米尺度还是更大尺度上进行研究，声子（又名声子学）的分析和操纵都正在开辟一个新的技术前沿，其潜在影响可以与近半个世纪前的电子学相媲美。 这次会议是世界上第一次将与不同长度尺度的声子研究相关的各个子学科聚集在一起的会议。会议涵盖以下七个主题：（1）声子晶体，（2）声子超材料，（3）周期性结构中的波传播，（4）纳米级声子输运，（5）声子MEMS和RF应用，（6）光力学， (7) 声子学的表征和制造。通过这笔拨款，美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 通过以下方式支持会议：(1) 为美国大学的研究生提供参加会议的旅行奖学金； (2) 赞助由会议组委会协调的学生论文竞赛，评选最佳论文、第二佳论文和第三佳论文。这种支持有助于会议实现其使命，即在从事声学研究的广泛、多学科的美国和国际科学界之间建立联系，并通过鼓励众多在直接相关领域攻读研究生的美国学生的参与来增强会议的教育使命到这个新兴领域。
