"Magnetic Excitations in Semiconductors: Bridges to the next Decade" -- Symposium and Public Lecture; Buffalo, NY; March 7-8, 2008

拟议的项目是为了支持研讨会“半导体中的磁激励：通往下一个十年的桥梁”，该研讨会将汇集许多世界领导人和活跃的年轻研究人员在该主题领域。它旨在突出半导体磁激励（MES）领域的关键进展，并为新的长期研究方向提供链接。它计划于2008年3月7日至8日在布法罗大学举行，同时也将表彰b.d. McCombe博士的研究，他的工作有助于形成对MES的理解。包括两名诺贝尔奖得主在内的19位著名学者已同意进行全体演讲。根据对MES科学和技术的影响而选择的13个专题领域的其他贡献将以海报形式提供。研讨会将力求最大限度地促进年轻研究人员和知名领袖之间的知识交流。由此产生的科学知识基础的增加，新的研究技术的刺激，以及向专门从事该领域的科学家广泛传播思想，是拟议项目的主要智力价值。研讨会还将举办公开讲座“将旋转融入电子”，作为其计划的一部分，以促进在具有强大影响社会潜力的MES领域的非正式外展学习。本次讲座将由Igor Zutic博士（布法罗物理大学）主讲，他是自旋电子学领域的主要理论家，也是一位非常有吸引力的演讲者。祖蒂克博士的讲座将面向非科学家，并将免费向公众开放。它将在当地学校和媒体上广泛宣传，并在布法罗大学的一个大型礼堂举行。本次外联讲座将与研讨会的全体会议和海报展示一起收录在一个面向公众的网络会议记录中。通过任何符合OAI标准的元搜索引擎或主要目录（例如b谷歌Scholar， OpenDOAR），将在SUNY机构知识库下建立对会议录的全球可搜索访问。研讨会的公开讲座和在非科学公众重要领域的公开传播所促进的教育外展构成了该项目更广泛的影响。

The proposed project is to support the Symposium, "Magnetic Excitations in Semiconductors: Bridges to the Next Decade", which will bring together many of the world leaders and the active young investigators in its subject area. It is designed both to highlight key advances in the field of magnetic excitations in semiconductors (MES), and to provide links to new long-term directions for research. It is planned for March 7-8, 2008 at the University of Buffalo, and will also honor the research of Dr. B. D. McCombe whose work has helped to shape the understanding of MES. An eminent group of 19 scholars, including two Nobel laureates, have agreed to give plenary lectures. Additional contributions in 13 topic-areas, chosen for their impact on the science and technology of MES, will be given in poster format. The Symposium will seek to maximize the intellectual exchange between young investigators and established leaders. The resulting increase in science knowledge-base, stimulation of new research technology, and wide dissemination of ideas to scientists specializing in the field, are the main intellectual merit of the proposed project.The Symposium will also feature the public lecture "Putting Spin into Electronics" as part of its program, in order to promote informal outreach learning in an area of MES that has strong potential to impact society. This lecture will be presented by Dr. Igor Zutic (University of Buffalo Physics), who is a leading theorist in the field of Spintronics and a highly engaging speaker. Dr. Zutic's lecture will be geared to non-scientists, and will be free and open to the public. It will be widely promoted at local schools and in the media, and held in a large venue hall at the University of Buffalo. This outreach lecture will be included along with the Symposium's plenary and poster presentations in a Web-Proceedings that is made fully available to the general public. World wide searchable access to the Proceedings by means of any OAI compliant metasearch engines or major directories (e.g., Google Scholar, OpenDOAR) will be set up under the SUNY Institutional Repository. The educational outreach fostered by the Symposium's public lecture and open dissemination in areas important to the non-scientific public constitute the broader impacts of this project.
