International Conference on Molecular Electronics - Science and Technology, Palmas del Mar, Puerto Rico

1997年12月14-18日将举行一次会议，讨论分子电子学的理论和实验方面，重点是材料科学方面的考虑。随着微电子领域超越硅来评估不同新兴领域可能的未来技术，随着原子水平分辨率探针已可用于访问和操纵单个分子和分子组装，分子电子学已成为一个及时的主题。将讨论制造精确尺寸的低聚物的新技术，以及将它们附着在设计表面上的新技术。会议还将集中讨论创造分子电路的可能技术，以及能够与单分子相互作用的方法。该计划由31位受邀演讲者组成，并安排了论文和海报。已作出特别努力，招募不同群体的参与者，包括外国和美国科学家，年轻和年长的研究人员，以及工业、国家实验室和学术研究人员。目标是促进化学、物理、工程和材料科学界在这一领域和相关领域的交流，并制定和描述必要的关键研究，使分子电子学概念更接近技术成功。会议有望为讨论分子电子学的关键科学问题和方向提供一个有效的论坛。除了有机会评估该领域和未来方向外，预计还将在大学、研究机构和产业界之间建立新的联系。评估分子电子学和相关材料问题的进展和现状，特别是关键材料和器件相关的研究领域，以及材料研究与器件制造的关系，以及当前对该领域最重要发展的评估，对于理解和提高材料在计算、数据处理和通信中的应用具有重要价值。＊＊＊

9802997 Freiman A conference will be held December 14-18, 1997 on theoretical and experimental aspects of molecular electronics with an emphasis on material science considerations. As the microelectronics field looks beyond silicon to evaluate different emerging fields for possible future technology, and as atomic level resolution probes have become available for accessing and manipulating individual molecules and molecular assemblies, molecular electronics has become a timely topic. New techniques will be discussed for making precise size oligomers, as well as new techniques for attaching them to designed surfaces. The conference will also concentrate on possible techniques for creating molecular circuits and methods needed to be able to interact with single molecules. The program is organized around 31 invited speakers, and both contributed papers and posters are scheduled. Special efforts have been made to recruit a diverse group of participants, including foreign and American scientists, younger and older researchers, and industrial, national laboratory and academic researchers. Objectives are to stimulate communications among the chemistry, physics, engineering and materials science communities working in this and related fields, and to formulate and delineate critical research necessary to move molecular electronics concepts closer to technological success. The conference is expected to provide an effective forum for discussion of critical scientific issues and directions in Molecular Electronics. Along with the opportunity to assess the field and future directions, it is expected that new ties will be established between universities, research institutions, and industry. %%% An evaluation of the progress and status of Molecular Electronics and related materials issues, especially critical materials and device related research areas, and the relationship of materials research to device fabrication along with current assessments of the most importan t developments in this field will be of great value to the understanding and enhanced utilization of materials in computing, data processing, and communications. ***
