U.S.-Australia Joint Workshop on the Structure of Monolayers at the Air/Water Interface / Heron Island, Queensland / February 1994

9320026 Knobler该奖项将支持9名美国科学家参加将于1994年2月在澳大利亚昆士兰州苍鹤岛举行的关于空气/水界面单分子层结构的讲习班。美国协调员是加州大学洛杉矶分校化学系的查尔斯·M·诺布勒教授。澳大利亚的组织者是昆士兰大学化学系的G.T.巴恩斯博士。该项目是在美澳合作科学计划下进行的，澳大利亚通过工业、技术和区域发展部提供支持。(DITARD)讲习班将侧重于应用光学技术来确定空气/水界面的不溶性单分子膜的结构。明亮的同步加速器X射线源和脉冲中子源的出现使在界面层上进行衍射和反射测量成为可能。美国研究人员参与了最近对单层结构的研究；澳大利亚科学家在单层结构方面做了引人注目的工作，由于缺乏容易获得同步加速器和中子源的途径，这些工作大多是经典的。随着澳大利亚政府在日本购买了一条光束线，这种情况现在已经改变了。研讨会将以戈登研究会议的方式进行。除了澳大利亚和美国的参与者外，来自法国、德国和英国的两名科学家也将在这次研讨会上发挥积极作用。

9320026 Knobler This award will support the participation of nine U.S. scientists to take part in a workshop on the structure of monolayers at the air/water interface to be held at Heron Island, Queensland, Australia in February 1994. The American coordinator is Prof. Charles M. Knobler from the Department of Chemistry, University of California, Los Angeles. The Australian organizer is Dr. G. T. Barnes, Department of Chemistry at the University of Queensland. This project is being conducted under the U.S.-Australia Cooperative Science Program and support in Australia is provided through the Department of Industry, Technology and Regional Development. (DITARD). The workshop will focus on the application of optical techniques to the determination of the structures of insoluble monolayers at the air/water interface. The availability of bright synchrotron x-ray sources and pulsed neutron sources has made it possible to carry out diffraction and reflection measurements on interfacial layers. American investigators have been involved in much recent work on the structures of monolayers; Australian scientists have done notable work on monolayers, largely classical due to the lack of easy access to synchrotron and neutron sources. This situation has now changed with the purchase by the Australian Government of a beam line in Japan. The workshop will be conducted in a Gordon Research Conference style. In addition to the Australian and American participants, two scientists each from France, Germany and Great Britain will also be taking an active role in this workshop.
