9602876 Tolbert This award supports the participation of 10 U.S. academic participants in a U.S.-Japan seminar on New Aspects of Photoresponsive Materials, to be held at the Catalina Island Conference Center, California, from November 4-8, 1996. The co-organizers are Professors Laren Tolbert and Gary Schuster of Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and Professor Masahiro Irie of Kyushu University. The theme of the proposed seminar was chosen in order to highlight recent advances in the use of light to bring about changes in the properties of materials. Such materials may be used in optoelectronic devices, such as imaging, memory, and display devices, as well as so-called "smart" materials which mimic the light-driven responses of living systems. These include changes in color ("photochromics") as well as changes leading to actual motion ("optomechanics"). Of course, the ultimate light-driven biological response is photosynthesis, and this represents a continuing focus of activity in both countries. Fundamental discoveries in each of these areas are being made both in U.S. and in Japan, and increased exchange of ideas and information between these two groups is clearly essential to maintaining a high level of intellectual output. The U.S. participants provide a broad cross section of expertise and geographical representation in the area of photochemistry, photophysics, and materials science, and were selected on the basis of being the most active researchers in the U. S. while providing a diverse range of interests. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through international collaboration. ***

9602876 Tolbert 该奖项支持 10 名美国学术参与者参加将于 1996 年 11 月 4 日至 8 日在加利福尼亚州卡塔利娜岛会议中心举行的美日光响应材料新方面研讨会。协办者是亚特兰大佐治亚理工学院的 Laren Tolbert 和 Gary Schuster 教授以及九州大学的 Masahiro Irie 教授。 选择拟议研讨会的主题是为了强调利用光改变材料性能的最新进展。 此类材料可用于光电器件，例如成像、存储器和显示器件，以及模仿生命系统的光驱动响应的所谓“智能”材料。 这些包括颜色的变化（“光致变色”）以及导致实际运动的变化（“光力学”）。 当然，光驱动的最终生物反应是光合作用，这代表了两国活动的持续焦点。 美国和日本在这些领域都取得了基础性的发现，这两个群体之间加强思想和信息的交流显然对于保持高水平的智力产出至关重要。 美国参与者在光化学、光物理学和材料科学领域提供了广泛的专业知识和地域代表性，并且是根据他们是美国最活跃的研究人员同时提供多样化的兴趣而被选中的。因此，该提案实现了该计划通过国际合作交流和转让科学知识的目标。 ***
