Preview: 2003 MRS Spring Meeting San Francisco Marriott and Argent Hotels • San Francisco, California Meeting: April 21–25 • Exhibit: April 22–24 Meeting Chairs: Terry J. Garino Sandia National Laboratories Hans-Joachim L. Gossmann Axcelis Technologies Lisa C. Klein Rutgers University Albert Polman FOM-Institute AMOLF The 2003 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting will be held Monday– Friday, April 21–25, in San Francisco, California, at the San Francisco Marriott and Argent hotels. The meeting will include 26 technical symposia, a plenary session on Wednesday evening, an equipment exhibit, poster sessions, and special events. Tutorials will be offered for Symposia A, E, I, and O and for SUCCEED, an educational program in materials engineering. Symposium X, Frontiers of Materials Research, features talks on topics ranging from nanocrystals (P. Alivisatos, Univ. of California, Berkeley) to patents (D. Longo, Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP) to “Quo vadis, Silicon?” (M. Ieong, IBM). In addition, the Outstanding Young Investigator Award talk by award recipient Timothy J. Deming (Univ. of California, Santa Barbara) on “Synthetic Polypeptides: New Developments in an Old Field” will be presented as part of Symposium X on Wednesday. Topics relating to nanostructured materials are rapidly becoming a mainstay at MRS meetings, as reflected in the cluster of symposia on Nanostructured Materials. Symposium P on self-assembled nanostructures includes sessions on mesostructured materials, polymeric materials, biological and biomimetic systems, and nanobuilding blocks. Symposium Q covers unconventional approaches to nanostructures with a focus on applications. Quantum dots and nanoparticles will be covered on Monday, including a series of invited talks. M. Sailor (University of California, San Diego) will present an invited talk on “Smart Dust: Photonic Crystals Derived from Nanocrystalline Porous Silicon.” Sessions on Friday cover properties and applications of nanostructures. H. Dai (Stanford University) will discuss highperformance carbon nanotube electronics in the afternoon. Using energetic beams to nanostructure materials is the focus of Symposium T. The 204
first two talks, by R. Legras (Univ. Catholique de Louvain) on nanopores and nanowires and by J. Chen (HahnMeitner Institut) on nanowire field-effect transistor in etched ion tracks of flexible materials, will establish the tone for the symposium. On Tuesday afternoon, L. Wang (Univ. of Michigan) will discuss radiation effects versus ion implantation on the formation of nanophases under an ion beam. Talks on Wednesday will highlight metallic and magnetic nanostructures, and nanocrystals in silica. Symposium U will focus on mechanical properties derived from nanostructuring materials. C. Koch (North Carolina State Univ.) will begin the symposium with an exposition on ductility of nanocrystalline metals. W. Gerberich (Univ. of Minnesota) will discuss mechanical behavior of films, nanospheres, and nanobumps. A session on Wednesday will co
