AbstractProposal Title: Workshop: Dynamic In Situ Electron Microscopy as a Tool to Meet the Challenges of the Nano-WorldProposal Number: CTS-0555443Principal Investigator: Renu SharmaInstitution: Arizona State University A workshop on "Dynamic In Situ Electron Microscopy as a Tool to Meet the Challenges of the Nano-World" will be held at Arizona State University (Tempe) on January 3-6, 2006. Electron microscopy has become a vital tool for characterizing a wide array of nano-materials, including catalysts, carbon and inorganic nanotubes, self-assembled nano-materials, and electronic nano-components. Recent advances in instrumentation and sampling techniques, however, are now promising to create a dramatic revolution in the ability to use electron microscopy under dynamic in situ conditions (elevated temperatures, pressures, reactive flows, etc. with time resolution) which are key to the successful application of a new generation of active nanostructures and devices. The opportunities that will be presented in the workshop are unprecedented for developing a more fundamental understanding of the dynamics of nano-synthesis processes, reactive nano-structures, functional nano-materials, and evolving nano-components. The discussions will offer valuable insights into the practical challenges associated with experimental techniques as well as providing an exposure to theoretical approaches that can be used in the interpretation of dynamic electron microscopy data. The major outcome of the current workshop will be a NSF workshop report that will chart the direction of dynamic in situ electron microscopy research, especially in the area of nanotechnology.The broader impact of the workshop will be highly significant, since at least 30 of the leading researchers (nearly all active US researchers) and approximately 15 graduate and post-graduate students will attend. Prominent invited speakers will address the key experimental and theoretical aspects of dynamic electron microscopy. In addition to the NSF workshop report, which will be distributed after the meeting, a special issue of an archival journal will be published, and a workshop web site will be established. The workshop will also include international representatives so that a worldwide benchmarking of US efforts will be obtained. The combination of leading academic researchers and advanced instrumentation developers will likely have a significant impact on the design of new electron microscopy equipment. The organizer has a strong record of involving students from underrepresented groups in prior NSF awards, and she has made a strong commitment to involving minorities and women in this workshop.

摘要提案题目：研讨会：动态原位电子显微镜作为应对纳米世界挑战的工具提案编号：cts -0555443首席研究员：Renu sharm机构：亚利桑那州立大学“动态原位电子显微镜作为应对纳米世界挑战的工具”研讨会将于2006年1月3日至6日在亚利桑那州立大学（坦佩）举行。电子显微镜已经成为表征各种纳米材料的重要工具，包括催化剂、碳和无机纳米管、自组装纳米材料和电子纳米组件。然而，仪器和采样技术的最新进展有望在动态原位条件下（高温、高压、反应流等时间分辨率）使用电子显微镜的能力方面产生戏剧性的革命，这是成功应用新一代活性纳米结构和器件的关键。研讨会将提供前所未有的机会，以发展对纳米合成过程、反应性纳米结构、功能纳米材料和不断发展的纳米组件的动力学的更基本的理解。讨论将对与实验技术相关的实际挑战提供有价值的见解，并提供可用于解释动态电子显微镜数据的理论方法。本次研讨会的主要成果将是一份NSF研讨会报告，该报告将描绘动态原位电子显微镜研究的方向，特别是在纳米技术领域。研讨会的广泛影响将是非常重要的，因为至少有30名主要研究人员（几乎所有活跃的美国研究人员）和大约15名研究生和研究生将参加。杰出的受邀演讲者将讨论动态电子显微镜的关键实验和理论方面。除了会议结束后将分发的NSF研讨会报告外，还将出版一本档案杂志的特刊，并建立一个研讨会网站。讲习班还将包括国际代表，以便获得美国努力的全球基准。领先的学术研究人员和先进仪器开发人员的结合可能会对新型电子显微镜设备的设计产生重大影响。组织者在之前的NSF奖项中有很多来自弱势群体的学生，她也坚定地承诺让少数族裔和女性参与到这次研讨会中来。
