戈登研究会议将于2003年7月13日至18日举行，主题是电子材料的化学。主题包括新材料，新器件，以及合成和表征的新方法。会议内容包括：半导体生长的基础、分子和纳米晶体器件、电子和磁性材料的前沿、纳米电子学和结构、半导体加工、新型沉积技术、分子电子器件的自组装和半导体表面化学。目标是促进来自不同学科背景的研究人员之间的交流——化学、物理、工程和材料科学，并制定和描述必要的关键研究，以进一步了解基本知识，并使概念更接近技术成功。会议预计将为讨论电子材料的合成、加工和表征领域的关键科学问题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。对电子材料和器件相关结构的生长和加工过程中所涉及的合成和加工现象的进展和现状进行评估，以及对该领域最重要发展的当前评估，将对理解和增强材料在计算、数据处理和通信中的利用具有重要价值。申请的NSF资金将用于促进年轻教师、博士后研究助理和研究生参加会议。＊＊＊

A Gordon Research Conference will be held July 13-18, 2003 on the Chemistry of Electronic Materials. Topics include new materials, new devices, and novel approaches to synthesis and characterization. Sessions will be held on: fundamentals of semiconductor growth, molecular and nanocrystal devices, frontiers of electronic and magnetic materials, nanoelectronics and structures, semiconductor processing, novel deposition techniques, self-assembly in molecular electronic devices, and semiconductor surface chemistry. Objectives are to stimulate communications among researchers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds--chemistry, physics, engineering and materials science, and to formulate and delineate critical research necessary to further basic understanding and move concepts closer to technological success. The conference is expected to provide an effective forum for discussion of critical scientific issues in the area of synthesis, processing and characterization of electronic materials. 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 synthesis and processing phenomena involved in the growth and processing of electronic materials and device related structures along with current assessments of the most important developments in this field will be of great value to the understanding and enhanced utilization of materials in computing, data processing, and communications. The requested NSF funds will be used to facilitate participation in the meeting by young faculty, postdoctoral research associates and graduate students. ***
