International Conference on Unconventional and Photoactive Solids, Cleveland, Ohio, September 1985 (Materials Research)

会议的目的是把研究某些现象的基本方面的学术工作者和研究阻碍技术进步的某些更实际问题的产业工人聚集在一起。学者们关注的是一些基本现象，如反应速率或能量输运的分形方面，以及简单“模型”系统（如萘）在皮秒或飞秒时间尺度上的能量输运。工业人员关心的问题是使用光学方法存储大量信息或检测单分子，以及聚合物薄膜和非晶材料等系统。这次会议将以有机材料的讨论为主导，将丰富基础科学活动，同时为更快的技术进步奠定基础。

The purpose of the conference is to bring together academic workers who deal with fundamental aspects of certain phenomena with industrial workers who are concerned with certain more practical problems that are impeding progress of technology. The academics are concerned with such fundamental phenomena as fractal aspects of reaction rates or energy transport, and energy transport on the picosecond or femtosecond time scale in simple "model" systems (such as naphthalene). The industrial people are concerned with such problems as bulk information storage using optical methods or detection of single molecules, and with such systems as polymeric films and amorphous materials. This conference, which will be dominated by discussions on organic materials, will enrich the basic science activities while laying the groundwork for more rapid technological progress.
