U.S.-Japan Seminar on Surface Dynamics and Structures in Epitaxial Growth

该奖项支持九位美国科学家参加将于1997年3月24日至27日在日本名古屋举行的关于外延生长表面动力学和结构的美日研讨会。联合组织者是明尼苏达大学的Philip I. Cohen教授和名古屋大学的Ayahiko Ichimiya教授。会议将持续四天，会议记录将作为定期审阅的特刊《表面评论与信函》发表。这次会议将进一步加强美国和日本研究外延的科学家之间日益增加的互动；特别是在同一城市的研讨会之后，还安排了日本物理学会的特别研讨会。这次美日研讨会将显著加强美国和日本科学家之间的互动和联系，他们正在发展表面过程理论，并使用新的电子探针来表征表面；这次会议将提高我们对这些探针的理解，并将有助于开发新的薄膜材料的技术。因此，该提案实现了该计划通过国际合作交流和转移科学知识的目标。＊＊＊

9513121 Cohen This award supports the participation of nine U.S. scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on the Surface Dynamics and Structures in Epitaxial Growth, to be held in Nagoya, Japan, from March 24-27, 1997. The co-organizers are Professors Philip I. Cohen of the University of Minnesota and Ayahiko Ichimiya of Nagoya University. The meeting will last four days and its proceedings will be published as a regularly refereed, special issue of "Surface Review and Letters." This meeting will further the increasing interactions between U.S. and Japanese scientists investigating epitaxy; in particular a special symposium of the Japanese Physical Society has been scheduled immediately following the seminar in the same city. This U.S.-Japan seminar should significantly enhance the interactions and contacts between U.S. and Japanese scientists who are developing theories of surface processes and who are using new electron probes to characterize surfaces; the conference will improve our understanding of these probes, and it will help develop the technology for the growth of new, thin, film materials. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through international collaboration. ***
