Conference on Lattice-Mismatched and Heterovalent Thin Film Epitaxy, Barga, Italy, September 13-18, 1998

1998年9月13日至18日，在意大利的巴尔加举行了一场关于晶格错配和异价薄膜外延的国际会议。会议的目标是将半导体异质外延领域的世界领导者聚集在一起，讨论最新的发展，促进合作，并确定未来研究的关键问题。研究不同材料系统的国际特邀演讲者将构成会议的基础。目标是将国内在这一领域的进展与国际社会进行比较，并促进研究人员之间的合作和讨论，特别是在年轻的专业人员和成熟的专家之间。会议还将工业界和学术界的科学家聚集在一起，努力鼓励这些团体之间的合作。NSF的支持将用于部分补偿年轻科学家（初级教师，研究生和博士后）的旅行和住宿费用。这将有助于青年科学家与在该领域工作的国际学术和工业科学家建立重要的联系。会议预计将提供一个有效的论坛，讨论在杂价晶格不匹配系统的关键科学问题。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。半导体晶格不匹配材料具有深远的经济潜力，因为它广泛应用于与计算、通信和信息处理相关的电子和光子学领域。对这一领域的进展和现状进行评估，并对当前最重要的发展进行评估，将对理解和加强这些材料在有益于社会的应用中的利用具有重要价值

9813068 Freiman An International Conference will be held in Barga, Italy September 13-18, 1998 on Lattice-Mismatched and Heterovalent Thin Film Epitaxy. The goal of the conference is to bring together world leaders in the field of semiconductor heteroepitaxy to discuss the most recent developments, stimulate collaborations and identify critical issues for future research. International invited speakers who work on different materials systems will form the foundation of the meeting. An objective is to benchmark domestic progress in this area against the international community, and to stimulate collaboration and discussion between researchers, especially between young professionals and established experts. The conference also serves to bring together industrial and academic scientists in an effort to encourage collaboration between these groups. Support from NSF will be used to partially compensate young scientists (junior faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows) for travel and accommodation expenses. This will help the young scientists to establish vital contacts with International academic and industrial scientists working in the field. The conference is expected to provide an effective forum for discussion of critical scientific issues in heterovalent lattice-mismatched systems. 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. %%% Semiconducting lattice-mismatched materials have far reaching economic potential since applications range broadly across electronics and photonics associated with computing, communications, and information processing. An evaluation of the progress and status of this field along with current assessments of the most important developments will be of great value to the understanding and enhanced utilization of these materials in applications beneficial to societ y. ***
