CSP - European Materials Research Society Symposium on Defect-Induced Effects in Nanomaterials
Abstract
European Materials Research Society Symposium on Defect-Induced Effects in Nanomaterialsa. Technical: This symposium addresses the progress in tailoring physical properties of low-dimensional and nanomaterials by introducing dopants (e.g., implantation) or creating growth- and radiation-induced defects. While the effects of defects in bulk materials have been widely studied, the defect behavior in nanomaterials can differ substantially from that observed in bulk materials. Recent work has demonstrated spectacular optical and magnetic effects due to deliberately created defects or radiation-induced transformation of nanomaterials as well as radiation-induced displacements in low-dimensional insulators and semiconductors, with numerous potential applications. Understanding and controlling such defects in a wide class of advanced nanomaterials (2D structures, multiferroics, quantum dots and wires, etc.) are critical in the advancement of nanoscience. Key topics of the Symposium include: Effects of grain boundaries and interfaces on the diffusion and transport processes, electronic structure of defects in nanostructures, evolution of radiation defects in nanosize materials and heterostructures, multiscale computer modeling of defect creation and transformation, novel fabrication processes of micro-, nano- and optoelectronics using defects and radiation effects in nanostructures. b. Relevance: The topic of the Symposium has implications on a broad range of electronics applications, including optoelectronics, spintronics, and quantum computing. The symposium and the resulted scientific exchange will contribute to the knowledge for the Naval S&T Strategic Plan~s focus areas of Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare, Information Dominance ~ Cyber, and Power and Energy. c. Coordination: ONR 31 and 33; Dr. John Zimmerman of ONRG d. Desired Outcome: (1) meaningful information exchange and discussion of research ideas, (2) up-to-date information on technology status, and (3) collection of meeting material for future reference and analysis.
