Gordon Research Conference on Electronic Materials: Chemistry, Excitations, and Processing; Plymouth, New Hampshire; July 4-9, 1999

戈登会议将于1999年7月在电子材料：化学，激发和处理。会议重点关注电子材料加工和使用方面最令人兴奋的发展。 强调新材料、新用途、新探针和新方法，而不是现有技术和方法的渐进式发展。 该会议旨在吸引来自工业界，学术界和政府实验室的参与者，以帮助这些社区相互学习。 它为计划从事电子材料职业的学生提供了一个刺激的环境，这是一个令人兴奋的研究领域，对国民经济非常重要，并且尚未在领先大学的传统课程中得到体现。NSF的支持将用于部分补偿年轻科学家（初级教师，研究生和博士后研究员）的旅行和住宿费用。预计会议将为讨论电子/光子材料中的关键科学问题提供一个有效的论坛。 沿着评估该领域和未来方向的机会，预计大学、研究机构和工业界之间将建立新的联系。 电子/光子材料具有深远的经济潜力，因为应用范围广泛，涉及与计算，通信和信息处理相关的电子和光子学。对这一领域的进展和现状进行评价，沿着对最重要的发展进行评估，将对了解和加强利用这些材料造福社会的应用具有重要价值。 ***

A Gordon Conference will be held in July, 1999 on Electronic Materials: Chemistry, Excitations and Processing. The conference focuses on the most exciting developments in the processing and usage of electronic materials. New materials, new uses, new probes, and new methods are emphasized rather than incremental developments in existing technologies and methodology. The conference seeks to attract participants from industry, academia, and government laboratories, to help those communities learn from each other. It provides a stimulating environment for students planning a career in electronic materials, a field of research that is exciting, is important to the national economy, and is not yet represented in the traditional curriculum at the leading Universities. Support from NSF will be used to partially compensate young scientists (junior faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows) for travel and accommodation expenses. The conference is expected to provide an effective forum for discussion of critical scientific issues in electronic/photonic materials. Along with the opportunity to assess the field and future directions, it is expected that new ties will be established between universities, research institutions, and industry. %%% Electronic/photonic materials have far reaching economic potential since applications range broadly across electronics and photonics associated with computing, communications, and information processing. An evaluation of the progress and status of this field along with current assessments of the most important developments will be of great value to the understanding and enhanced utilization of these materials in applications beneficial to society. ***
