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

近年来，人们对固态化学和材料科学的兴趣经历了爆炸性的增长，这是由于人们广泛认识到新材料的发现和研究所涉及的技术重要性和科学挑战，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。该研讨会将成为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）西北地区会议的一部分。本次研讨会及其相关的海报会议将成为交流这些领域的研究和教育方面的知识、新发现和技术的场所和工具。美国西部和西北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。本次研讨会将汇集美国西部和西北地区不同学术水平的主要研究人员和学生。受邀演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；光学和电子纳米材料和纳米颗粒簇作为定向光发射体；纳米材料;各向异性有机材料的微图案化；分子致动器;新型有机材料和金属-有机杂化材料的光物理和电子特性纳米多孔材料;以及制造纳米管和螺旋螺旋的苯类物质。研讨会计划包括一个海报环节，涵盖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.
