Methodological innovations in solid-state NMR are continually stimulating new applications, and NMR is becoming ever more ambitious in its reach for detailed characterization of structural, dynamic and electronic properties. This is especially true of inorganic materials, which represent a vast and diverse range of systems of increasing importance in technological developments. This will be the focus of a symposium highlighting methods development and applications of NMR to inorganic solids and solid-state materials. Topics will include semiconductors, catalysts, hydrogen-storage materials, glasses and biomineralization. It is precisely this interdisciplinary overlap that characterizes much of the success of solid-state NMR, and drives its future application and development in such diverse fields. This symposium is intended to provide exposure to the wide variety of techniques and materials being developed at the frontier of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. It is anticipated that it will stimulate new ideas and further cross-fertilization in the exciting area of solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
Invited speakers include: C. Bonhomme (FR), H. Eckert (GR), L. Emsley (FR), A. Goto (JP), G.R. Goward (CA), H.-M. Kao (TW), S.K. Lee (SK), S.-B. Liu (TW), H. Maekawa (JP), M. Murakami (JP), J.A. Reimer (US), J.A. Ripmeester (CA), K. Schmidt-Rohr (US), J.F. Stebbins (US), R.E. Wasylishen (CA) |
