Scope

Oxygen is the most abundant element in the earth crust, and oxides are the most ubiquitous compound group on earth. There are a large variety of chemical compositions, atomic structures, and crystalline shapes for oxides. Even now, advances in synthesizing and characterizing techniques are revealing numerous new functions of oxides. This symposium will provide interdisciplinary discussion for diverse oxide materials with a wide range of topics: material growths, characterizations, processings and device fabrications. Topics of the recent remarkable progresses in nanoparticles, nanocomposites, and nanostructures consisting of oxides are also included. Both experimental and theoretical approaches are welcome to this symposium. A variety of materials properties will be discussed such as superconducting, electrical, semiconducting, insulating, ferroelectric, ferromagnetic and optical behaviors. The outcome of the symposium will lead to many novel applications such as energy conversion, information processing, communications, sensing, magnetics, photonics, etc.

Topics

  1. Oxide materials including insulators, semiconductors, conductors, superconductors and multiferroics.
  2. Material growths of oxide films, multilayers, nanostructures and bulks, and their characterizations including structural, mechanical, electrical, chemical, thermal, magnetic and optical aspects.
  3. Applications and devices using oxides and related materials.
  4. Effects of processing such as etching and annealing on various properties of oxides and related materials.
  5. Theoretical studies on materials properties, processing, and device performance, related with oxides.
  6. Other topics related with oxide materials (such as phase transitions, dopings, defect physics, and band gap engineering)
