Chapter 204: On Study Abroad

[The structure of the molecular film changes from one layer (L in Fig. c) to three layers (3l in Fig. b), that is, the structure of each layer is different in details. 】

[This is mainly due to the fact that there is a competitive interest in the intralayer and between the molecules of the Pentaphenol molecule, and it is these structural differences that lead to a completely different interest in electronics......]

Before submission, Wu Bin did a lot of homework on Feng Jinhui and Han Kangshun's mouths as man-eating tigers.

As for what kind of homework it is, of course, how to "tame" his homework.

Although there were not many rebuttals and questions sent by this reviewer, they were enough for Wu Bin to understand his concerns.

For example, he attaches great importance to whether the content is novel, whether the experimental description is clear and can be repeated by readers, whether the experimental data is true and reliable, and whether the references are properly cited.

Therefore, in the manuscript of his reply, Wu Bin also clearly described the novelty of his paper and the data proof that it is enough to support the reproducible experiment.

After writing a large reply manuscript and checking it to find that the points that should be mentioned were explained clearly, Wu Bin sent an email.

……

On the other side of the world, Professor Brad Walkley of the California Institute of Technology is leisurely enjoying his afternoon tea and opening his mailbox after eating a chocolate chip cookie.

"Oh~ has that interesting undergraduate already returned?"

A week ago, as a leading expert in the materials industry, he received a manuscript from Science, asking him about the progress of a 2D material from an undergraduate student in China.

'Undergraduates? ’

To be honest, there are really not many undergraduate papers that pass the editing and review to him, let alone Huaguo.

So before reading this paper, Professor Brad was already full of curiosity.

As piece after piece of cookie entered Professor Brad's stomach, his eyes grew brighter as he looked at the computer screen.

This paper can be said to be completely worthy of his intense curiosity.

The whole article has a clear logic and prominent theme, and is grown by van der Waals on a hexagonal boron nitride substrate with a typical organic semiconductor [pentabenzene molecule].

As a result, high-quality, 1-3 layers of pentabenzene epitaxial films with a controllable number of layers are realized.

Although the thickness of the film is close to the two-dimensional limit, it still exhibits intrinsic characteristics such as anisotropy, high mobility, and band-type transport that can only be found in organic single crystal materials.

This indicates that all the things that have been tried in organic crystalline materials or two-dimensional inorganic materials before can be realized in two-dimensional organic crystals, which is of great significance for the accurate preparation of two-dimensional materials!

What shocked Professor Brad even more was that he found that the paper ended up with an undergraduate.

Generally speaking, even if some doctoral dissertations are published, the corresponding author is his supervisor and the general person in charge of the whole project.

The reason for this is that both correspondence with the review editor and answering readers' questions after the publication of the paper requires communication with the corresponding author, which means that he must be fully aware of all the details of the topic.

This time, Brad's curiosity burned even stronger, and he had a deep understanding of two-dimensional materials, but he had never heard of such a person before.

With the mentality of giving it a try, this name, which he didn't find much in the paper search engine, found his name in Google.

"IPhO Double Champion ......"

Seeing these lines, Professor Brad suddenly recalled an incident, when he went to an academic conference last year, Professor Goldsmith of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had talked to him about IPhO, saying that he had found a very talented physics genius, but unfortunately rejected the offer of their school, and gave him no number of scholarships.

At that time, Brad casually asked what the student's name was, but because it was just small talk, he didn't remember it at all.

Now I remember, right?

So he's been in college for less than a year!? ’

"Unbelievable ......"

Throw a cookie into your mouth, taste its sweetness at the same time, communicate, as long as you talk about a little spark, you will immediately send an offer, this child definitely has a superhuman talent in physical materials!

……

Back to the present, Professor Brad was nodding frequently as he looked at Wu Bin's manuscript back to him.

In fact, he didn't have too many questions about Wu Bin's paper, and the rebuttals and inquiries he sent in the past were just to test him, but as he expected, the other party answered very well.

So he rubbed his hands and replied to Wu Bin with an email.

Wu Bin, who was reading the paper, opened it as soon as he heard the email reminder, but after reading it, three question marks lit up on his head.

"When do I plan to graduate?"

Wu Bin, who was confused, found Liu Yubo and asked if there were any academic requirements for reviewers?

And Liu Yubo immediately laughed after hearing this, "Hahaha, it is estimated that your reviewer is a professor from a famous school, and I want to dig you." ”

"Oh...... I see. Wu Bin nodded understandingly.

"Who would have asked such a boring question during the review, probably because they wanted to talk to you, tsk." Liu Yubo smacked his lips, "It seems that the other party attaches great importance to you as a talent." ”

"So...... Can I just go back normally? Wu Bin asked.

"Hmm." Liu Yubo nodded, and suddenly said, "Wu Bin, have you thought about studying abroad?" Which school do you prefer? ”

"Study abroad?" Wu Bin shook his head after hearing this, "Not yet." ”

"Oh? Tell us what you think. Liu Yubo was a little surprised.

"I don't plan to study abroad for the sake of studying abroad, I have to know what we lack before I can go outside for a purpose, and I think this process will take a lot of time."

"Yo ho, the realm is very high, you, a great learner, for the country and the people?" Liu Yubo couldn't help but tease.

Wu Bin smiled and shook his head: "I just don't want to do things too blindly." ”

"Very good, you are really the most worry-free student I have ever taught, so good, I can't even find a place to talk to you about the truth of life."

And just when Wu Bin was about to be modest, Liu Yubo said again: "Studying abroad, in fact, sometimes it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to really learn something, but let you look at my country's scientific research community from a different angle, which will be a new perspective for you." ”

"The students were taught." Wu Bin nodded very seriously and said.
