TECHNICAL SUMMARYThe "Progress and Challenges in Crystal Growth Design and Characterization Symposium" at the 2012 fall National American Chemical Society meeting in Philadelphia PA, partly funded by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry Program, will bring together scientists from the fields of inorganic chemistry, solid-state chemistry, condensed matter physics and electrical engineering to examine important topics of research. Discovery of new crystalline materials and the growth of high-quality single crystals have potential impact on many sectors, including energy production, energy storage, national security and information technology. However, the National Research Council of the National Academies, Committee for the Assessment of and Outlook for New Materials Synthesis and Crystal Growth, have identified crystal growth and discovery of new materials as areas where the United States is rapidly losing its footing. The committee also pointed out that the United States can only excel in this area if there is a critical mass of young scientists who have the interdisciplinary knowledge and training necessary to succeed in this field of research. Yet they also discovered that there is a marked decline in educational and training opportunities in this country in the areas of crystal growth and preparation of new materials, while these opportunities are increasing in other parts of the world, for example Europe and Asia. This symposium helps to call attention to this problem and also to meet this need by serving to educate young researchers on the research activities of others in the area.NON TECHNICAL SUMMARYThis symposium will provide younger scientists, including undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows the opportunity to present their work in crystal growth and new materials synthesis. It will also allow younger scientists a chance to interact with established researchers in the field. Gathering people with different approaches to similar research problems will spark collaboration and the sharing of ideas. Approximately 35% of the invited speakers are from primarily undergraduate institutions and about 40% of the invited speakers are women. Faculty at all levels (assistant, associate and full professor) will participate in the symposium, as well as individuals from industry and national laboratories.

技术摘要“在2012年秋季美国化学学会在PA费城举行的全国化学学会会议上，部分由固态和材料化学计划资助的2012年秋季美国化学学会会议上的技术摘要将使无机化学，固态化学领域，固态化学，凝结物理学和电气工程学的科学家聚集在一起。发现新的结晶材料和高质量单晶的生长对许多部门都有潜在的影响，包括能源生产，能源存储，国家安全和信息技术。 但是，国家学院国家研究委员会，新材料合成和晶体增长的评估和前景委员会已经确定了晶体的增长和新材料的发现是美国迅速失去其基础的地区。该委员会还指出，只有在具有跨学科知识和培训的年轻科学家群众中，在这一研究领域取得成功，美国才能在这一领域表现出色。然而，他们还发现，在晶体增长和准备新材料的领域，该国的教育和培训机会显着下降，而世界其他地区的这些机会正在增加，例如欧洲和亚洲。该研讨会有助于引起人们对这个问题的关注，并通过向年轻的研究人员进行该地区其他研究活动来满足这一需求。NonTechnology Thismarythis Thismarythis研讨会将为包括本科生，研究生和博士后家伙在内的年轻科学家提供在水晶增长和新材料综合中展示其工作的机会。这还将使年轻的科学家有机会与该领域的知名研究人员进行互动。收集以不同方法来解决类似研究问题的人将引发合作和共享思想。大约有35％的受邀演讲者来自本科机构，约40％的受邀演讲者是女性。各级教师（助理，副教授和完整教授）将参加研讨会，以及来自行业和国家实验室的个人。
