Solid-State Chemistry and Materials Science Symposium at the 2006 Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society; Hershey, PA; June 4-7, 2006

2006年美国化学学会大西洋中部地区会议的固态化学和材料科学研讨会将汇集来自无机化学、物理化学、凝聚态物理、材料科学和工程领域的科学家，以研究被认为是更大的材料化学社区重要领域的主题。主题将包括：1)制备纳米颗粒材料的设计合成策略的进展；2)预测和探索磁现象，例如在稀磁性半导体和磁阻材料中发现的磁现象；3)利用微波制备从金属间化合物到陶瓷的各种材料；4)材料的结构-性质关系，以及其他。会议将由特邀演讲者和专题演讲组成。强烈鼓励研究生和博士后提交摘要。已确认的演讲者中有一半是女性，40%是助理教授。近年来，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看到了在这一领域进行令人兴奋的研究的机会，人们对固态化学和材料科学的兴趣经历了爆炸式的增长。2006固体化学与材料科学研讨会由美国化学学会中大西洋地区会议（MARM 2006）主办，将于2006年6月4日至7日在宾夕法尼亚州的好时举行。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，这些研究人员对固态化学领域感兴趣，包括设计和合成新型功能材料的新概念，结构-性质关系的基础研究，以及材料纳米科学和工程研究与教育的相关领域。NSF的资金将主要用于支持学生、博士后学者、早期职业教师以及美国高级会议主席和特邀演讲者的参与。＊＊＊

This Solid-State Chemistry and Materials Science Symposium at the 2006 Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society will bring together scientists from the fields of inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, condensed matter physics, materials science, and engineering in order to examine topics which have been identified as important areas to the greater materials chemistry community. Topics will include: 1) advances in designed synthetic strategies to prepare nanoparticulate materials, 2) prediction and exploration of magnetic phenomenon such as those found in dilute magnetic semiconductors and magnetoresistive materials, 3) the use of microwaves to prepare a wide range of materials from intermetallics to ceramics, and 4) structure-property relationships of materials, as well as others. Sessions will be comprised of invited speakers and contributed talks. Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are highly encouraged to submit abstracts. Half of the confirmed speakers are women, and 40% are assistant professors.%%%Interest in solid-state chemistry and materials science 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. The 2006 Solid State Chemistry and Materials Science Symposium is sponsored by the American Chemical Society Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting (MARM 2006) to be held June 4-7, 2006 in Hershey, PA. The goal of the conference is to facilitate collaborations and information exchange across a broad spectrum of researchers with interests in solid-state chemistry areas that include new concepts for design and synthesis of novel functional materials, fundamental studies in structure-property relationships, and related areas of materials nanoscience and engineering research and education. The NSF funds will be used primarily to support the participation of students, post-doctoral scholars, and early career faculty, as well as senior U.S. session chairs and invited speakers. ***
