The Chemistry of Intermetallics and Zintl Phases Symposium, 2003 Fall ACS Meeting, New York, NY, September 7-11, 2003

对固态化学的兴趣近年来经历了爆炸式增长，这是由于人们广泛认识到新材料的发现和研究所涉及的技术重要性和科学挑战，以及来自其他学科的科学家的涌入，他们看到了在这一领域进行令人兴奋的研究的机会。这次固态化学研讨会的题目是金属间化合物和Zintl相的化学。本次ACS会议的目标是促进广泛的研究人员之间的合作和信息交流，这些研究人员对推进与金属间化合物和Zintl相的合成，表征和应用相关的固态化学领域感兴趣。NSF的资金将用于支付学生、博士后和初级教师参加研讨会的费用。固态化学社区继续通过培训学生设计，合成，表征和制造金属间化合物和Zintl化合物作为与推进热电，磁性和电子技术相关的设备材料，对社会具有重要意义的技术进步产生直接影响。

Interest in solid state chemistry has undergone explosive growth in recent years due to the broadly based recognition of the technological importance and scientific challenges involved in the discovery and study of new materials, and due to the influx of scientists from other disciplines who see the opportunities for performing exciting research in this area. This symposium on solid state chemistry is entitled The Chemistry of Intermetallics and Zintl Phases. The goal of this ACS meeting is to facilitate collaborations and information exchange across a broad spectrum of researchers with interests in advancing solid-state chemistry areas related to the synthesis, characterization and applications of intermetallic and Zintl phases. The NSF funds will be used to defray the expenses of students, post-docs, and junior faculty attending the symposium.%%% The Solid State Chemistry community continues to have a direct impact on technological advances of high significance to society by training students to design, synthesize, characterize, and fabricate intermetallic and Zintl compounds as device materials relevant to advancing thermoelectric, magnetic, and electronic technologies.***
