Chapter 523: Solid Phase Diffusion
Chapter 523
So far, the record for the youngest academician in China has been held at 38 years old, a record set by a professor at Tsinghua University in 05.
And in Bao Songquan's view.
As long as Gu Lu maintains the current momentum and continues to produce the current results, there is hope to break the age record of 38 years old.
Even now, compared with the time of 05 years, the review criteria for elected academicians are much more stringent, and in the past five years, the youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been 43 years old.
However, Bao Songquan also believes that Gu Lu has a chance to break the record.
Even, in Bao Songquan's thoughts, if Gu Lu was not distracted to delve into other disciplines and concentrate on the field of business mathematics, he would almost be 100% sure to break that age record.
At present, Gu Lu has to distract a lot of energy in several other disciplines, which has led to a temporary stagnation of his current achievements in the field of mathematics.
Although Bao Songquan felt a little pity, he didn't mean to dissuade Gu Lu.
It is indeed a good thing for Gu Lu to stay in the field of mathematics for a long time in a short period of time, but in the long run, if Gu Lu's talent is only limited to the world of mathematics, it will be a bit too big a loss for the entire scientific research community.
Therefore, now, Bao Songquan can be said to unconditionally support all of Gu Lu's decisions and behaviors.
Let Gu Lu's talents shine in a broader area.
…………
"Senior brother, it's a bit too early to discuss the matter of my selection of academicians. Gu Lu didn't go to the topic with Bao Songquan to delve into this topic, but changed his words, "It's that Senior Brother has been elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences this time, which will have a lot of benefits for the improvement of our Yan University School of Mathematics in the international ranking this year." ”
As mentioned before, the international authoritative list institutions do not recognize the title of outstanding young man, but for the title of academician, the major authoritative list institutions have a high degree of recognition.
Bao Songquan was elected as an academician, which can at least add a lot of points to the university rankings of Yan University.
Bao Songquan nodded, and did not deny Gu Lu's words, "This year's QS World University Rankings list is estimated to be announced in August and September, I am really curious that our Department of Mathematics of Yan University can improve a few names!"
"I think we can go up at least one or two. Gu Lu thought for a moment and said.
"One or two, it's already okay. Of course, Bao Songquan knows how difficult it is to move up one place when you are in the top 50 in the world.
Thinking of this, Bao Songquan subconsciously sighed, "Hey, I just don't know when our Department of Mathematics of Yan University will be able to break into the top ten in the world, or even the top five in the world! Anyway, there should be no hope in my generation, but Gu Lu, you have a chance to see that day coming." ”
"No, senior brother, I'm sure you'll see that day. Gu Lu's tone became a little more serious.
Gu Lu has never forgotten the main task of the current system.
Gu Lu needs to make the Department of Mathematics of Yan University rank among the top five in the world within four years.
Four years have passed, and now more than half a year has passed.
And Gu Lu must try his best to complete this main task, for which Gu Lu has been silently making some preparations.
Therefore, Bao Songquan can fully witness the arrival of that day.
Bao Songquan thought that it was just Gu Lu comforting him just now, so he didn't bother anymore after smiling.
"Okay, it's not early, don't disturb your rest, let's go first. ”
Bao Songquan got up and left.
After Gu Lu saw off Bao Songquan at the door, he returned to the living room and put the outstanding young certificate on the coffee table on the bookshelf in the study.
Now, Gu Lu rarely goes to the office of the Yan University Academy, and it is estimated that he will not go back in the near future.
Therefore, Gu Lu moved some medals and certificates from the mathematicians in the original office to the study at home early, so as to avoid them suffering in the college office.
After placing the Jieqing certificate on the top of the bookshelf, Gu Lu clapped his hands with satisfaction and slowly shook back to the bedroom.
…………
For several days in a row, Gu Lu has been busy with the work in the laboratory.
On average, I basically start work before 8 o'clock every day, and I don't finish work until 9 o'clock or almost 10 o'clock in the evening.
Coupled with the time on the way back and forth, Gu Lu basically didn't have much spare time except for eating and sleeping.
The people in the research group have almost the same schedule as Gu Lu.
Although it is said that the mode of opening up to work from 9 to 5 suddenly changes to the mode of staying up late and working overtime every day, everyone will definitely have some adaptation.
It is the so-called easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
But fortunately, after a few days of adaptation, everyone in the research group has regained their senses and began to enter the working state in full swing.
On Gu Lu's side, after several days and nights of cooperative research with Ke Bo, the two finally found a way to realize the doped multilayer graphene interconnection structure.
In their research in the past few days, Gu Lu and Ke Bo have proved that some traditional methods cannot achieve this structure of doped multilayer graphene interconnection.
As a result, Gu Lu and Ke Bo jumped out of the traditional framework and developed a unique pressure-assisted solid-phase diffusion method.
Solid-phase diffusion, a typical technique in metallurgy, is commonly used in the preparation of alloys.
With this technique, pressure and temperature can be applied to two materials that are in close contact, causing them to diffuse each other.
Gu and Ke Bo's idea is to use a unique pressure-assisted solid-phase diffusion method to directly synthesize large-area, high-quality, multilayer graphene on a typical dielectric substrate used in the back-end CMOS process.
I have to say, the idea is a bit bold!
However, it is quite feasible.
Inside the laboratory.
Gu Lu and Ke Bo are conducting the first simulation experiment according to this theoretical scheme.
Gu Lu and Ke Bo glanced at each other, "Are you ready?"
Ke Bo nodded solemnly, a little nervous, "Ready." ”
"Don't be nervous, it's just a simulated experiment, and if you fail, you can find the problem and start over. Gu Lu patted Ke Bo on the shoulder, then smiled, "Now that you're ready, let's start." ”
Ke Bo walked up to the experimental instrument and began to assist Gu Lu in the operation.
"In the first step, we need to deposit the solid carbon in the form of graphene in powder onto the nickel metal of the optimal thickness. ”
Gu Lu took out the nickel sheet, and then asked Ke Bo to spread the graphene powder onto the nickel sheet, and then carried out solid carbon deposition, and made appropriate adjustment of the thickness.
"3.5mm, Professor Gu, is this thickness okay?" Ke Bo measured the thickness and asked.
"Let's try this thickness first. Since it was the first experiment, Gu Lu didn't have any data to refer to, and he didn't know what thickness was the most suitable, so he just found a random thickness for testing.
