Workshop to Appraise Research Opportunities in Nanometer Scale Science and Technology

这笔拨款用于资助一个评估纳米尺度科学与技术研究机会的研讨会，该研讨会将于1990年7月26日至27日在马里兰州巴尔的摩举行。与第五届扫描隧道显微镜国际会议和第一届纳米尺度科学与技术国际会议共同举办。联合会议将吸引该领域的世界专家讨论分析工具开发和纳米尺度科学技术方面的最新成果。这是一个在材料理解和新设备技术方面迅速取得重大进展的领域。利用这些专家出席的机会，拟议的讲习班将审查这些领域的进展情况；识别研究机会，评估纳米尺度研究的潜在影响；评估政府、学术和工业研究计划；并建议资源分配策略。讲习班的成果将发表在《真空科学与技术杂志》上，以便向社会广泛传播资料。

This grant supports a workshop to Appraise Research Opportunities in Nanometer Scale Science and Technology, to be held in Baltimore, Maryland, July 26-27, 1990, in conjunction with the Fifth International Conference on Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and the First International Conference on Nanometer Scale Science and Technology. The joint conferences will attract world experts in the field to discuss state-of- the-art results both in analytical tool development and in the nanometer-scale science and technology made possible by these new tools. This is a field which is rapidly producing major advances in materials understanding and new device technologies. By taking advantages of the presence of these experts, the proposed workshop will review progress in these areas; identify research opportunities, assess the potential impact of nanometer scale research; assess government, academic and industrial research plans; and recommend resource allocation strategies. The results of the workshop will be published in the Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology in order to widely disseminate the information to the community.
