First International Workshop in Ceramics: Data Storage Technology; NSF; January 22-23, 2004

研讨会将于2004年1月22日至23日在美国国家科学基金会举行，主题为数据存储技术所需的陶瓷材料。研讨会论坛将提供学术界、产业界和国家实验室在这一主题领域的互动，并寻求开发一个框架和环境，在此框架和环境下可以开展互惠互利的合作努力。重点将放在确定陶瓷材料广泛领域内的关键研究领域，在这一领域，可以通过仔细考虑的涉及三个群体的合作计划来实现重大进展。包括磁存储、表面工程和高级处理、薄膜铁电存储器、显微镜、扫描探针和光谱学在内的课程将持续整整两天。还将讨论与加强多样性以及科学家和工程师的教育和培训有关的问题。研讨会报告将包括以下内容：会议概述--主要亮点、感兴趣的想法；对该领域关键问题的评估，近期和远期重点关注的重要领域；对每个分主题的建议；每位与会者以相同格式提交的一页摘要。拟议研讨会的讨论将包括对该领域的批判性评估，并促进学术界、产业界和政府实验室之间的合作。来自行业、政府和大学的联合投入将使研究界的广泛基础能够促进互惠互利的研究计划，满足未得到满足的需求，并为该领域未来的科学家和工程师开发教育和培训方法。

A Workshop will be held at NSF January 22-23, 2004 on Ceramics Materials needed in Data Storage Technology.The Workshop forum will provide for interaction between academia, industry, and national labs in this topical area and seeks to develop a framework and environment under which mutually beneficial collaborative endeavors can be seeded. The focus will be on identifying key areas of research within the broad field of ceramic materials, in which significant progress can be accomplished through a carefully considered collaborative program involving the three constituencies. Sessions including Magnetic storage, Surface engineering and Advanced processing, Thin film ferroelectric memories, and Microscopy, scanned probes & spectroscopy will run over two full days. Issues related to enhancing diversity and education and training of scientists and engineers will also be addressed. A workshop report will include the following: Overview of meeting-major highlights, ideas of interest; Assessment of critical issues in the field, important areas to focus on the near and far future; Recommendations on each of the sub-topics; A one-page abstract from each person in attendance in an identical format.%%%Discussions at the proposed workshop will include a critical evaluation of the field and promote collaborations among academia, industry and government labs. The combined input from industry, government, and universities will allow a broad base of the research community to promote research programs of mutual benefit that satisfy unmet needs and to develop education and training approaches for future scientists and engineers in this field.***
