Symposium on Solid-State Chemistry: Micro-and Nano-Structured Materials/Organic Materials; June 25-28, 2006; Sparks, Nevada

近年来，由于对新材料发现和研究所涉及的技术重要性和科学挑战的广泛认识，以及来自其他学科的科学家的涌入，他们看到了在这一领域进行令人兴奋的研究的机会，固态化学和材料科学的兴趣经历了爆炸性增长。拟议的研讨会将是2006年6月25日至28日在内华达州斯帕克斯举行的美国化学学会（ACS）2006年西北地区会议的一部分。这次研讨会及其相关的海报会议将成为一个场所和工具，交流知识，新的发现，以及在这些领域的研究和教育技术。美国西部和西北部地区的科学家将接触到新的研究领域，可能会为他们自己的研究带来新的方向。研讨会将提供一个机会，形成新的合作，涉及学术界，工业界或国家实验室。本次研讨会将汇集领先的研究人员和学生在美国西部和西北地区的各种学术水平。特邀讲者将介绍他们在以下领域的最新研究成果：用于传感的纳米管;作为定向光电发射器的光学和电子纳米材料和纳米颗粒团簇;纳米结构材料;各向异性有机材料的微图案化;分子致动器;新型有机和金属有机混合材料的电子物理和电子特性;纳米多孔材料;以及用于纳米管和螺旋烯的苯型结构单元。研讨会计划包括一个海报会议，涵盖了研讨会的两个主要主题领域（微/纳米结构材料和有机材料），以及扫描探针显微镜，半导体制造化学和分子器件等主题领域。

Non-technicalInterest in solid-state chemistry and materials science has undergone explosive growth in recent years due to the broadly based recognition of the technological importance and scientific challenges involved in the discovery and study of new materials, and due to the influx of scientists from other disciplines who see the opportunities for performing exciting research in this area. The proposed symposium will be part of the 2006 Northwest Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS), which will be held June 25-28, 2006, in Sparks, Nevada. This symposium and its associated poster session will be a venue and a vehicle for exchange of knowledge, new findings, and techniques in research and education in these fields. Scientists in the Western and Northwestern regions of the U.S. will be exposed to new areas of research, possibly leading to new directions for their own research. The symposium will provide an opportunity to form new collaborations involving academia, industry, or national laboratories. TechnicalThis symposium will bring together leading researchers and students at various academic levels in the Western and Northwestern regions of the United States. Invited speakers will present their latest research results in the following areas: nanotubes for sensing; optical and electronic nanomaterials and nanoparticle clusters as directional photoemitters; nanostructured materials; micropatterning of anisotropic organic materials; molecular actuators; photophysics and electronic properties of novel organic and metal-organic hybrid materials; nanoporous materials; and benzenoid building blocks for nanotubes and helicenes. The symposium program includes a poster session covering topics included in the two major themes areas of the symposium (micro/nanostructured materials and organic materials), as well as in topical areas such as scanning probe microscopy, semiconductor fabrication chemistry, and molecular devices.
