CBET-144345DamesThe main objective of this proposal is to support participation at the Eighth U.S Japan Joint Workshop on Nanoscale Transport Phenomena. This proposal requests support to subsidize the travel and lodging expenses of several investigators from the US, and the registration fees for all students and postdocs. The workshop is scheduled to be held July 13-16, 2014 in Santa Cruz, California. The workshop will focus on a broad array of technologies will benefit from a better understanding of nanoscale transport and energy conversion processes. The workshop will provide future research directions and catalyzing new interactions and collaborations of researchers in both countries. It is anticipated that this workshop will result in joint research papers, exchange of students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty, as well as sharing of research facilities between the U.S. and Japan. The workshop will additionally provide a cross disciplinary and international forum for discussing and identifying outstanding science and technology issues in the area of nanoscale thermophysics and energy conversion. Some topics scheduled for discussion are: thermal transport in emerging 2D materials; nanoelectronic devices; thermal phenomena in novel nanostructured thermoelectric, optoelectronic, and photovoltaic devices; thermal transport in biological systems and transport in nano and bio fluidic systems; and theoretical and computational methods including density functional theory, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations for energy conversion and transport in nanostructures. The workshop will offer three specific features with direct benefit to NSF and the research community. (I) The sessions are designed to focus discussion on emerging/unidentified research areas that are currently within reach due to the technical advancements in recent years. The results of these discussions will be published in a leading journal and will be made available to NSF. (II) The talks will be recorded and made publically available via the internet (contingent on obtaining approval from individual speakers). This will enable much broader dissemination of the technical detail presented at the conference. (III) To quantify and document the overall priorities of this expert technical community, an anonymous survey of conference attendees will be conducted during the first two days,, with results rapidly compiled and discussed on the final day of the workshop, and further disseminated as part of an archival journal paper. Preference of funding support will be given to young investigators. The NSF travel support will primarily be given to junior participants, who include at least five graduate students, two post doctoral researchers, and eight assistant professors.

该提案的CBET-144345DAMESTHE的主要目标是支持参加美国日本第八届纳米级运输现象的参与。该提案要求支持美国几位调查人员的旅行和住宿费用，以及所有学生和博士后的注册费。该研讨会定于2014年7月13日至16日在加利福尼亚州圣克鲁斯举行。该研讨会将集中在广泛的技术上，将受益于对纳米级运输和能量转换过程的更好理解。该研讨会将提供未来的研究方向，并促进两国研究人员的新互动和合作。预计该研讨会将导致联合研究论文，学生交流，博士后研究员和教职员工以及美国和日本之间的研究设施共享。该研讨会还将提供一个跨学科和国际论坛，用于讨论和确定纳米级热物理和能量转化领域的杰出科学和技术问题。安排讨论的一些主题是：新兴2D材料中的热运输；纳米电子设备；新型纳米结构的热电，光电和光伏设备中的热现象；纳米和生物流体系统中的生物系统和运输中的热运输；以及理论和计算方法，包括密度功能理论，分子动力学和蒙特卡洛模拟纳米结构中的能量转化和运输。该研讨会将为NSF和研究社区提供三个具有直接利益的特定功能。 （i）会议旨在将讨论重点放在由于近年来技术进步而目前所涉及的新兴/身份不明的研究领域。这些讨论的结果将发布在领先的期刊上，并将提供给NSF。 （ii）会谈将通过互联网记录并公开（取决于获得个人演讲者的批准）。这将使会议上提出的技术细节更广泛地传播。 （iii）为了量化和记录该专家技术界的整体优先事项，将在前两天对参加会议的匿名调查进行，并在研讨会的最后一天进行了迅速编译和讨论，并进一步传播为档案期刊论文的一部分。偏爱资金支持将向年轻的调查人员提供。 NSF旅行支持将主要给予初级参与者，包括至少五名研究生，两名博士研究人员和八位助理教授。
