2002 Electronic Processes in Organic Materials Conference; Newport, RI; July 21-26, 2002

2002年7月21日至26日，有机材料电子过程（EPOM）戈登研究会议将在RI州新港的Salve Regina大学举行。会议的主要目标是提供一个论坛，展示新的和令人兴奋的实验和理论结果，并汇集来自不同学科的研究人员，以便他们可以分享他们在解决与许多不同类型的复杂有机材料的电子和光物理过程相关的问题方面的实验和理论方法。科学计划是多方面的，也将有助于在他们不太熟悉的领域教育年轻和有成就的科学家。主题包括基础科学和器件应用，例如有机超导体、场效应晶体管、激光器、导电线、发光二极管、半导体、低维系统中的电子结构和动力学、人工和光合系统中的光收集和电子转移、有机-无机异质结构、单聚合物和生物分子光谱以及纳米建筑学。会议将包括九个正式会议，共有28个口头报告，以及两个下午的海报会议。受邀的演讲者和讨论领导者是根据他们的相关专业知识和最近的成就来选择的，同时强调性别平衡，少数民族代表性和年轻研究人员的参与。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。对有机材料中的电子过程和相关器件问题的进展和现状进行评估，以及对当前最重要发展的评估，将对理解和提高电子/光子材料在计算、数据处理和通信中的利用具有重要价值。本次会议由数学和物理科学理事会的化学和材料研究部门共同支持。＊＊＊

A Gordon Research Conference on Electronic Processes in Organic Materials (EPOM) will be held July 21-26, 2002 at Salve Regina University, Newport, RI. The main goals of the conference are to provide a forum for the presentation of new and exciting experimental and theoretical results on EPOM and to bring together investigators from diverse disciplines so that they can share their experimental and theoretical approaches in solving problems related to electronic and photophysical processes in complex organic materials of many different types. The scientific program is multi-faceted and will also serve to educate young and established scientists in areas they are not so familiar with. Topics include fundamental science and device applications, e.g., organic superconductors, field-effect transistors, lasers, conducting wires, light emitting diodes, semiconductors, electronic structure and dynamics in low-dimensional systems, light harvesting and electron transfer in artificial and photosynthetic systems, organic-inorganic heterostructures, single polymer and biomolecular spectroscopy and, nano-architectronics. The conference will consist of nine formal sessions with a total of 28 oral presentations, and two afternoon poster sessions. Invited speakers and discussion leaders were selected on the basis of their relevant expertise and recent achievements while emphasizing a program with gender balance, minority representation, and participation of young investigators. 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 Electronic Processes in Organic Materials and related device issues along with current assessments of the most important developments will be of significant value to the understanding and enhanced utilization of electronic/photonic materials in computing, data processing, and communications. This conference is co-supported by the Chemistry and Materials Research Divisions within the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate. ***
