TECHNICALA workshop, to be held in the University of California Santa Barbara in March 2011 on the topic of Materials by Design, is supported by programs in the Division of Materials Research (Solid State and Materials Chemistry and Condensed Matter Physics), Division of Chemistry (Macromolecular, Supramolecular, and Nanochemistry), and the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate (Office of Multidisciplinary Activities). Research in Solid State and Materials Chemistry spans the full spectrum of exploration from constituent atoms, to bonding, to physical properties in extended materials. The strong links to physical properties and the functional behavior of materials is a key aspect that distinguishes solid state and materials chemists from other practitioners of chemistry, physics, and materials science: a unique approach that includes inorganic and organic materials research, incorporating both crystalline and amorphous materials, and probed at the deepest level. The goal is frequently to achieve the desired physical properties in materials that enable a given application. In this context, we employ the term Materials by Design (MbD) to refer to research that seeks to create new materials for specific applications by design. The materials may range from solution-prepared nanoparticles, to small-molecule and polymer advanced electronic materials, to organic/inorganic hybrid materials, bulk oxides, main-group compounds, and intermetallics. One of the central goals of MbD is to make extensive routine use of computational techniques applied at multiple length scales to understand and predict new materials properties. Clearly, a vision for MbD needs to be inclusive and would rely heavily on collaboration with allied disciplines within Condensed Matter Physics (CMP) and Materials Science which will be discussed at this workshop.NON-TECHNICALThe workshop offers the opportunity for junior and senior researchers from the disciplines of chemistry, condensed matter physics, theory and materials science to come together and discuss new mechanisms for working together to advance the concept of Materials by Design. The outcome of the workshop will be better approaches to materials discovery and a path to restoring the US to a position of preeminence in this area.

TECHNICALA 研讨会将于 2011 年 3 月在加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校举办，主题为“材料设计”，得到了材料研究部（固态和材料化学和凝聚态物理）、化学部（高分子、超分子和纳米化学）以及数学和物理科学理事会（多学科活动办公室）。 固态和材料化学的研究涵盖了从组成原子到键合，再到扩展材料的物理性质的全方位探索。材料的物理性质和功能行为之间的紧密联系是固态和材料化学家与其他化学、物理和材料科学从业者的区别的一个关键方面：一种包括无机和有机材料研究、结合晶体和材料的独特方法。非晶态材料，并进行了最深层次的探索。目标通常是使材料达到所需的物理性能，以实现给定的应用。在这种情况下，我们使用术语“材料设计”(MbD) 来指代旨在通过设计为特定应用创造新材料的研究。这些材料的范围包括溶液制备的纳米颗粒、小分子和聚合物先进电子材料、有机/无机杂化材料、块状氧化物、主族化合物和金属间化合物。 MbD 的中心目标之一是广泛常规地使用在多个长度尺度上应用的计算技术来理解和预测新材料的特性。显然，MbD 的愿景需要具有包容性，并且在很大程度上依赖于与凝聚态物理 (CMP) 和材料科学领域的相关学科的合作，这将在本次研讨会上进行讨论。非技术性研讨会为来自以下领域的初级和高级研究人员提供了机会：化学、凝聚态物理、理论和材料科学等学科齐聚一堂，讨论共同推进“材料设计”概念的新机制。 研讨会的成果将是更好的材料发现方法以及恢复美国在该领域的领先地位的道路。
