Thin Film and Crystal Growth Mechanisms (GRS)

Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar

July 16 - 17, 2011
Chairs Milea J. Kammer and Michelle A. Groce

Conference Description

The Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar on Thin Film & Crystal Growth Mechanisms is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is to present and discuss cutting edge research on mechanisms that control crystal and thin film growth. Topics will include (i) bridging vapor and solution crystal growth, (ii) surface/interface kinetics, (iii) mediating crystallization/self-assembly, (iv) low dimensional materials (films, particles, and wires), and (v) interdisciplinary aspects of crystal growth mechanisms.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Thin Film and Crystal Growth Mechanisms" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
