Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The main motivation for the organization of the Advanced Research
Workshop in Belgirate was the promotion of discussions on the most
recent issues and the future perspectives in the field of Solid
State lonics. The location was chosen on purpose since Belgirate
was the place were twenty years ago, also then under the
sponsorship of NATO, the very first international meeting on this
important and interdisciplinary field took place. That meeting was
named "Fast Ion Transport in Solids" and gathered virtually
everybody at that time having been active in any aspect of motion
of ions in solids. The original Belgirate Meeting made for the
first time visible the technological potential related to the
phenomenon of the fast ionic transport in solids and, accordingly,
the field was given the name "Solid State lonics." This field is
now expanded to cover a wide range of technologies which includes
chemical sensors for environmental and process control,
electrochromic windows, mirrors and displays, fuel cells, high
performance rechargeable batteries for stationary applications and
electrotraction, chemotronics, semiconductor ionics, water
electrolysis cells for hydrogen economy and other applications. The
main idea for holding an anniversary meeting was that of discussing
the most recent issues and the future perspectives of Solid State
lonics just twenty years after it has started at the same location
on the lake Maggiore in North Italy.
