非技术描述：陶瓷戈登会议关于运输和反应中的挑战，聚集了不同的演讲者、讨论领袖、专业人士、博士后和博士后研究人员，为期一周(2014年7月20日至15日)在马萨诸塞州芒特霍利克学院，在一个正在建立跨学科理解的互动环境中；新想法在社区中分享、产生和传播。博士生、博士后助理、早期职业教师和代表不足群体(URG)成员的比例(包括(少数族裔和妇女)与会者意义重大，预计将与该领域有经验的科学家进行有益的互动。延长的海报会议和特别的学生介绍会使这些交流变得更加丰富。学生通过讲座、海报讨论和指导来培训该领域的最新科学成就。他们接触到不同的建模方法和最新的测量技术，包括现场和手术中的工具，并开始合作努力，进一步探索知识和工具。作为会议的长期好处，跨学科、更快的创新和合作加速了该领域的科学进步。技术细节：会议分为九个部分，讨论受限陶瓷或电化学设备中的缺陷、传输和反应、晶界、界面和表面的结构和传输之间的关联、陶瓷在大型、复杂或混合驱动力下的行为、氧化物的催化活性、氧化物和非氧化物陶瓷中的电荷转移和传输过程、陶瓷热电、燃料电池、电池和电容器中的交换过程、陶瓷中的氢导。一些报告侧重于通过光谱学、层析成像和应变测量进行的现场研究。不同的建模方法，从从头算到相场建模，并包括不同的长度尺度，被整合到会议中。

NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: The Ceramics Gordon Conference on challenges in transport and reactivity gathers a diverse group of speakers, discussion leaders, professionals, doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers for one week (July 20-15th, 2014) at Mount Holyoke College, MA, in an interactive environment where an interdisciplinary understanding is being built; and new ideas are shared, generated and dispersed across the community. The fraction of doctoral students, postdoctoral associates, early career faculty and underrepresented group (URG) members (incl. minorities and women) attendees is significant, beneficial interactions with experienced scientists in the field are anticipated. Extended poster sessions and a special student introductory reception fertilize these exchanges. Students are trained via lectures, poster discussion and mentoring in the latest scientific achievements in the field. They are exposed to different modeling approaches and the latest measurement techniques, including in situ and in-operando tools and are starting collaborative efforts to further explore knowledge and tools. As a long term benefit of the conference, scientific progress in the field is accelerated by interdisciplinary, faster innovation and collaboration. As well, a more suitable workforce is created that benefits both the economy and society in general.TECHNICAL DETAILS: The conference is structured in nine sessions that address defects, transport and reactivity in constrained ceramics or electrochemical devices, correlation between structure and transport at grain boundaries, interfaces and surfaces, behavior of ceramics under large, complex or mixed driving forces, catalytic activity of oxides, charge transfer and transport processes in oxide and non-oxide ceramics, ceramic thermoelectrics, exchange processes in fuel cells, batteries and capacitors, hydrogen-conduction in ceramics. Several presentations focus on in situ studies by spectroscopy, tomography and strain measurements. Different modeling approaches ranging from ab initio to phase field modeling and including different length scales are integrated into the sessions.
