Chapter 200 About Studying Abroad
[The structure of the molecular film changes from layer 1 (WL in picture c) to layer 3 (3l in picture b), that is, the structure of each layer is different in details. 】

[This is mainly because there is a competitive nature between the pentacene molecule and the interlayer molecules, and it is these structural differences that lead to completely different electronic properties...]

Before submitting the manuscript, Wu Bin had done a lot of homework on the reviewers Feng Jinhui and Han Kangshun, who are like man-eating tigers.

As for the homework, it was naturally how to "tame" him.

Although the rebuttals and questions sent by the reviewer were not many, 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 reference citations are appropriate.

Therefore, in the manuscript that Wu Bin replied, he also clearly described the novel points in his paper and the data proof enough to support repeatable experiments.

After writing a large reply manuscript eloquently, after checking it and found that all 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 was enjoying his afternoon tea leisurely, and opened his mailbox after eating a chocolate chip cookie.

"Oh~ Has that interesting undergraduate returned the mail yet?"

A week ago, as a leader in the materials industry, he received a manuscript from "Science" and asked him about the progress of two-dimensional materials from Huaguo undergraduates.

'Undergraduates? '

To be honest, there are really not many undergraduate papers that pass the editorial review stage and come to him, let alone those from Huaguo.

So before reading this paper, Professor Bullard had already ignited full curiosity.

As one piece after another of cookies entered Professor Brad's stomach, his eyes looking at the computer screen became brighter and brighter.

This paper can be said to be fully worthy of his strong curiosity.

The logic of the whole article is clear and the theme is prominent. A typical organic semiconductor [pentacene molecule] is used for van der Waals epitaxial growth on a hexagonal boron nitride substrate.

Thus, a high-quality, 1-3-layer pentacene epitaxial film with a controllable number of layers is realized.

Although the thickness of the film is close to the two-dimensional limit, it still exhibits intrinsic properties such as anisotropy, high mobility, and band-type transport that are unique to organic single crystal materials.

This indicates that all the things that have been tried in organic crystal materials or two-dimensional inorganic materials may be realized in two-dimensional organic crystals, which is of great significance for the precise preparation of two-dimensional materials!
What shocked Professor Brad even more was that he found that the corresponding authors marked with * from the first work to the end of this paper were all undergraduates named bin.wu.

Generally speaking, even if some doctoral students publish papers, the corresponding author is his supervisor, that is, the overall person in charge of the entire project.

The reason is that no matter the communication with the review editor or the answer to readers' questions after the paper is published, it is necessary to communicate with the corresponding author, which means that he must fully understand all the details of the topic.

This time, Brad's curiosity burned even more vigorously, because he read this bin.wu's deep understanding of two-dimensional materials in the paper, but he had never heard of such a person before.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Brad searched for the name bin.wu everywhere. In the end, he found nothing in the paper search engine, but found the name bin.wu in Google.

"IPhO double champion..."

Seeing this line of words, Professor Brad suddenly recalled one thing. When he attended an academic conference last year, Professor Goldsmith from MIT talked to him about IPhO, saying that he discovered an extremely A talented physics genius, but unfortunately rejected the offer from their school, the kind who didn't come with any amount of scholarships.

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

But now I suddenly remembered, isn't it this bin.wu!
' That means he's only been in college for less than a year! ? '

"incredible……"

Throwing a cookie into his mouth and savoring its sweetness, Brad decided to communicate with this bin.wu. As long as there is a little spark in the chat, he will immediately send an offer to him. This kid is good at physics and materials. Definitely has superhuman talent!
……

Back to the present, Professor Brad is looking at the manuscript that Wu Bin returned to him and nodding frequently.

In fact, he didn't have too many questions about Wu Bin's thesis, and the rebuttals and inquiries he sent were just to test him out, but as he expected, the other party's answers were very good.

Rubbing his hands together, Professor Brad sent another email to Wu Bin.

……

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

"Ask when do I plan to graduate?"

Wu Bin, who was at a loss, found Liu Yubo and asked if there were any academic requirements for reviewing manuscripts?
And Liu Yubo burst out laughing immediately after hearing this, "Hahaha, I guess your reviewer is a professor from a famous school, and he wants to poach you."

"Oh...so that's the case." Wu Bin nodded understandingly.

"Otherwise, who would ask such a boring question when reviewing manuscripts, probably because they want to chat with you, tsk tsk." Liu Yubo smacked his lips, "It seems that the other party attaches great importance to your talent."

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

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

"Study abroad?" Wu Bin shook his head after listening, "Not yet."

"Oh? Tell me 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 study abroad purposefully. I think this process will take a lot of time."

"Hey, you are quite advanced. The one who learns the most can serve 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 be too blind."

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

And just when Wu Bin was about to say a few words of humility, Liu Yubo said again: "It's about studying abroad. In fact, sometimes it doesn't necessarily mean that you must learn something, but let you look at our country's scientific research from a different angle." , that will be a whole new perspective for you."

"The students have been taught." Wu Bin nodded seriously.
