Ruben Chavez Seminar - Today at 4:00pm in BRK 2001

Ruben Chavez Seminar OCTOBER 27, 2017 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM BRK 2001 Thermo-electric transport in nanowires and nanostructures Nanowires and nanostructures are interesting platforms to study heat and electric transport in confined systems. Nanowires are promising candidates in the field of thermoelectricity where heat is converted into electricity without any moving parts. A good thermoelectric material exhibits a low thermal conductivity, and high electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient. The thermal conductivity in nanowires is reduced compared to bulk due to surface scattering, while Seebeck coefficient is improved by the 1-dimensional density of states. InSb is the most promising thermoelectric material to study the effects of quantized electronic transport and its effects on the thermoelectric properties. Measurements of the thermoelectric properties of InSb nanowires will be presented. Ballistic phonon transport in GaP nanowires with a length up to 10 micrometers will be presented, which is attributed to specular scattering of phonons on the surface of the nanowires. Finally, the latest results on the search for signatures of Hydrodynamic phonon transport in silicon microstructures studied by CCD thermoreflectance will be shown.

FW: Announcement of the FY18 Laboratory and Core Facility Equipment program
by Shakouri, Ali 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Dear Colleagues, Please see below the announcement for internal university funds FY18 Laboratory and Core Facility Equipment program: http://www.purdue.edu/research/funding-and-grant-writing/funding/lab-progra… For small equipment (<100K) the deadline for proposal is on Nov. 6 and for large equipment (100K-1M), the deadline is on January 26. The latter requires cost share (1/3) and endorsement by associate Deans. Both funds need to be spent by May 31st. Check the PI eligibility and other details on the website. Please let me know if there is anything I could do to help. For large equipment that will be installed at Birck, we will do our best to provide costshare, but it is important to involve appropriate associate deans for research early on. One of the agenda items for the Birck faculty meeting in December will be to discuss about equipment costshare priorities so send me any ideas by end of November. Best regards, Ali From: Engfaculty-list [mailto:engfaculty-list-bounces@ecn.purdue.edu] On Behalf Of Meluch, Paula J Sent: Monday, October 09, 2017 9:09 AM To: Engineering Faculty (engfaculty-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu) <engfaculty-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu> Subject: Announcement of the FY18 Laboratory and Core Facility Equipment program Sent on behalf of Dr. Melba Crawford Colleagues, Please note the following information on University equipment grant programs for 2017-18, including due dates. The fall program will not require cost share. The spring program requires cost share and endorsement. More information will follow on this - cost share in the CoE will be split equally between the CoE and Schools/Faculty. Best, Melba Sent on behalf of Jay T. Akridge, Interim Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Diversity; and Suresh V. Garimella, Executive Vice President for Research and Partnerships. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Deans, Associate Deans for Research, and Department Heads, We are pleased to jointly sponsor the 2017-18 Laboratory and Core Facility equipment program. This program merges three equipment grant opportunities sponsored by our offices during 2016-17 and will be the only internal equipment grants program offered by us during this fiscal year. $2,500,000 has been allocated to date (sum of the three previous programs), and we anticipate an opportunity to augment with additional funds. Applications for research equipment costing up to $100,000 will be reviewed this fall. Support for equipment costing $100,000 to $1,000,000 will be requested via proposals submitted in late January 2018 with assessment and endorsement by one or more Deans or Associate Deans for Research. Guidelines for both arms of the program and an application template are available from links on this page. http://www.purdue.edu/research/funding-and-grant-writing/funding/overview.p… A synopsis is also available from the Major Research Equipment button on this page. http://www.purdue.edu/research/funding-and-grant-writing/funding/overview.p… Jay and Suresh
