     Solid State and Surface Chemical Science & Technology at the 
                        Office of Naval Research

                           John C. Pazik
                          Program Officer
                ONR Solid State and Surface Chemistry S&T

Solid State and Surface Chemistry is truly a multi-disciplinary field.  The 
ONR program includes participation from members of the chemistry, physics, 
electronics, and engineering communities.  The ONR program is an integrated 
science and technology effort where Navy needs and technologies are drivers 
for the basic science supported.  This presentation will describe, in broad 
terms, the technology areas in which the solid state and surface chemistry 
program has interest.  The basic science approaches used to meet the 
technology challenges will be outlined and current research efforts will be 
described.  Topics which will be broadly discussed include thermoelectric 
materials, interfaces to superconductors, and ultra-thin film deposition 
processes.  These topics impact technology areas of thermal management, 
detectors & sensors, and communications.
