Non Technical SummaryAdvanced materials for many applications ranging from superalloy turbine blades to microelectronics to new therapeutics for malaria depend on a fundamental understanding of crystal nucleation and growth. This conference seeks to gather leading scientists representing the major areas in the field of crystallization and to bring them into contact with each other and, more importantly, with the next generation of researchers in the field. This year, a particular focus of the conference will be on the development and application of high-resolution, in situ characterization techniques that can provide mechanistic insights, and how this unprecedented visualization of crystal nucleation and growth can lead to the development of important new materials with desired properties.Technical Summary With support from the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program, the organizers of the 2015 Gordon Research Conference on Crystal Growth & Assembly will provide scholarships for students and postdoctoral to participate in the conference and join the "Crystal Growth" community. This conference is focused on developing an understanding of the fundamental atomic and nanoscale physics and chemistry that are central to the nucleation and growth of crystals for a wide array of technologies. This year, the conference will specifically address five specific areas: (1) The role of self-assembly and pattern formation in crystallization, (2) Vapor-liquid-solid growth of nanostructures, (3) Inorganic/organic interactions at interfaces that control shape and function, (4) In situ methods to observe nucleation and growth, and (5) Design of materials for use in energy and biomedical technologies. To this end, the conference brings together scientists from industry, national laboratories and academia to discuss the latest advances and challenges in Crystal Growth and Assembly.

从超合金涡轮机叶片到微电子学再到疟疾的新疗法，用于许多应用的先进材料取决于对晶体成核和生长的基本理解。本次会议旨在聚集代表结晶领域主要领域的领先科学家，并使他们相互接触，更重要的是，与该领域的下一代研究人员接触。今年，会议的重点将是高分辨率原位表征技术的开发和应用，这些技术可以提供机理方面的见解，以及这种前所未有的晶体成核和生长可视化如何能够导致具有所需性能的重要新材料的开发。技术总结在固态和材料化学项目的支持下，2015年戈登晶体生长大会研究会议的组织者&将为学生和博士后提供奖学金，以参加会议并加入“晶体生长”社区。 本次会议的重点是发展对基础原子和纳米级物理和化学的理解，这些物理和化学对各种技术的晶体成核和生长至关重要。 今年，会议将专门讨论五个具体领域：（1）自组装和图案形成在结晶中的作用，（2）纳米结构的气-液-固生长，（3）控制形状和功能的界面处的无机/有机相互作用，（4）观察成核和生长的原位方法，以及（5）用于能源和生物医学技术的材料设计。 为此，会议汇集了来自工业，国家实验室和学术界的科学家，讨论晶体生长和组装的最新进展和挑战。
