We are in the midst of an explosion in new technologies for microscopy, spectroscopy, data analysis, sample manipulation and more. The materials community is central to much of this activity and both drives and embraces these developments. The need for new instrumentation is especially poignant now with the increasing need to understand materials on the atomic scale and with greater precision in physical properties measurements. This symposium will concentrate on the innovations and the people who develop the innovations. Analytical characterization of materials including at least imaging, elemental composition, chemical properties, and mechanical testing on a microscopic scale will be considered.
To our knowledge, there has never been a symposium which specifically seeks to bring together the developers of the instrumentation for the purpose of reviewing the latest innovations in the technology. We expect both the developers and users of instrumentation to be interested in this symposium. Academic, industrial, and commercial groups developing either systems or components which advance the state of instruments used for materials research are invited to participate. We expect a cross-fertilization among several communities. Examples of topics of interest include:
Invited speakers include: Ruud Tromp (IBM Watson Research Laboratory), Pupa De Stasio (Swiss Institute of Technology), Noel MacDonald (Cornell Univeristy), Ronald Gronsky (University of California - Berkeley), Ondrej Krivanek (Gatan), Kamal Soni (University of Chicago), Jon McCarthy (NORAN Intruments), Heiner Jaksch (Zeiss), David Williams (Lehigh), Hans Hallen (North Carolina State University), Franco Cerrina (University of Wisconsin), Michael Miller (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), Jan Ringnalda (Philips), Warren Oliver (Nano Instruments Inc.), and more.
It is expected that some exceptional contributed papers will be upgraded to longer, invited presentations.
