ABSTRACT
This proposal mainly seeks to partially support 20 undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs,
and underrepresented, 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
Phoenix, AZ, April 22-26, 2019. 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 over 200 scientists from both academia and industry in many countries around the world. The meeting's core is its technical program, which includes 54 symposia organized into nine topical areas. Symposium QN02 is in the "Quantum and Nanomaterials" cluster. This cluster involves 8 symposia addressing the physical properties and device concepts involving a wide range of quantum and nanomaterials. Both fundamental scientific aspects and applications will be covered. This cluster will focus on the forefront of theory, discovery, and design of novel 2D materials beyond graphene, their heterostructures and devices concepts. Part of the cluster highlights recent significant developments in the experimental, theoretical, and computational techniques that address the challenges in controlling heat transport mechanisms, from Nanoscale to Multiscale Thermal Transport, Energy Conversion, Storage and Thermal Management. In addition, Emerging Materials for Quantum Information and Emergent Phenomena in Oxide Quantum Materials will also be covered. Recent updates on the Colloidal Nanoparticles-From Synthesis to Applications will be presented and discussed.
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.

PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT
Disclaimer
This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
The grant was used to support travel awards for undergraduate, graduate students, doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, early career researchers, and retired faculty members to attend Symposium QN02: Defects, Electronic and Magnetic Properties in Advanced Two Dimensional Materials beyond Graphene was held at the 2019 Spring Meeting of the Materials Research Society, from April 22nd ? April 26th in the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, AZ. Specifically, The NSF funding was used to (1) Support 5 undergraduate Hispanic students toward their registration fee and accommodation; (2) Support 7 graduate, doctoral, and postdoctoral students for their registration fee; (3) Support 3 Earlier Career Young Scientists for their registration fee and accommodation; (4) Support Young Scientist Tutorial, (5) Symposium organizers and invited speakers.
The symposium organizers worked to create a unique symposium, which had not appeared at previous MRS meetings that would lead to meaningful bridges between critical fields, thereby propelling 2D materials towards its ultimate potential. The symposium received more than 109 (16 invited, 28 contributed oral, 16 poster, 49 tutorial) abstracts. Considering this symposium was the first of its type at an MRS national meeting, these numbers are very encouraging, and indicative of the momentum 2D materials is gaining within the general material science community. Though it will take time to quantify, potential collaborations were discussed and formed throughout the meeting, and it is the opinion of the organizers that these collaborations will lead to important advances in the field. It should be further noted that many (~25) presentations were given by graduate/undergraduate/postdoctoral students, who represent the future of 2D materials. Their considerably large presence at the symposium, which provided them the opportunity to share their research activity in the field with young scientists of similar interests, is a contribution of QN02 to 2D materials that will continue to give as these individuals advance past graduate research to industrial/academic positions.
