Materials Innovation Platforms (MIP) MIP Concept: Combine a focused research effort in an interactive feedback loop together with a mid-scale user facility open to the community in order to accelerate advancement of a materials research topic of national importance. www.mip.psu.edu www.paradim.org Focus: 2-dimensional chalcogenide materials for future electronics e.g., Can theory model growth kinetics and guide materials synthesis? Focus: interfacial materials, combining oxides & 2D materials, for valleytronics & spintronics e.g., Can we design and create new interfacial materials by “breaking” Gibbs’ & Pauling’s rules? Current Status: Accept user proposals; samples provided to users World’s first 300-atm floating-zone furnace at Paradim-JHU Integrated MBE, CVD, ARPES & STM/AFM later in 2017 Access to computational, TEM & other capabilities Webinars and summer schools Research MIPs are centered around a focused research team of at least 3 senior investigators addressing a targeted materials grand challenge and/or technological outcome of national impact. Achievable only through the acquisition and development of unique, state-of-the-art, mid-scale instrumentation – national need for equipment. New materials and materials phenomena are discovered where synthesis, characterization, and theory/modeling are done in an iterative and “closed-loop” manner. (MGI) 2D Crystal Consortium (2DCC) is located at Pennsylvania State University. Platform for the Accelerated Realization, Analysis, & Discovery of Interface Materials (PARADIM) is located at Cornell University (thin-film growth and characterization, including TEM, and in-house research), Johns Hopkins University (bulk crystal growth and characterization), Clark Atlantic University (computational), and Princeton University (in-house research only). Gibbs free energy controls thermodynamics and leads to a reaction towards a lower Gibbs free energy. When interface energy, strain energy, and surface energy are also considered, interfacial materials that would not be stable in a bulk form become thermodynamically stable. There are several Pualing's rules regarding cation and anion radii, valance, coordination, etc. See, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling%27s_rules . New interfacial materials are possible by "breaking" these rules. Where Materials Begin & Society Benefits MRSEC PI Meeting Meeting Oct. 10, 2017

Triplets will apply for 3-year funding, with report-out workshops in –between. Covered disciplines include: Materials Science, Chemistry, Device Engineering, Physics, Industrial Research and Computer Science. Majority of budget goes directly to support the students, who travel to industrial sites and collaborate, providing the bridge between academic cutting edge research and industrial environment, working on research projects, preparing thesis and publications. The ready-to-hire cadre of workers for the second quantum revolution will be generated. Cross-NSF effort: Managing program: CMP Program, DMR/NSF (Tomasz Durakiewicz) Grad.

Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure Where Materials Begin & Society Benefits MRSEC PI Meeting Meeting Oct. 10, 2017

Where Materials Begin & Society Benefits NSF 18-013 Dear Colleague Letter: Request for Information on Mid-scale Research Infrastructure October 6, 2017 Overview This Request for Information (RFI) is issued in response to the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act (AICA, Public Law No. 114-329), Section 109. NSF seeks information on existing and future needs for mid-scale research infrastructure projects from the US-based NSF science and engineering community. Definitions For the purposes of this RFI, NSF defines Research Infrastructure (RI) as any combination of facilities, equipment, instrumentation, computational hardware and software, and the necessary human capital in support of the same. This includes upgrades to existing major research facilities. Mid-scale RI requires an investment that falls between the maximum award funded by NSF's Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI; $4 million) and that of a major multi-user research facility project ($100 million or more), as defined in AICA.
