Symposium K, 'Nanostructures, Thin Films and Bulk Oxides -
Synthesis, Characterization and Applications' and Symposium RR,
'Solution Synthesis of Inorganic Functional Materials' were held
April 21-25 at the 2014 MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco,
California. Oxide materials from bulk down to nanostructures are
used for applications in microelectronics, communications, sensing,
energy, catalysis, nanophotonics and optoelectronics. As the
characteristic dimensions of oxide systems shrink into the
nanometer range, there are increased technological challenges for
synthesis, processing and characterization to ensure high
uniformity, reproducibility and cost reduction. This symposium
proceedings volume represents the recent advances in various areas
of deposition, processing, characterization and integration of
functional oxide materials, with particular emphasis on the
relationship among the structure, composition, stability and
functional properties. The papers are divided into three sections:
(1) ZnO Thin Films and Nanostructures, (2) Multiferroics, Magnetism
and Magnetic Materials and (3) Oxide Thin Films and Nanostructures.
Symposium M, Solution Synthesis of Inorganic Functional Materials
Films, Nanoparticles, and Nanocomposites was held April 1 5th, 2013
at the 2013 MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco, California. The
symposium was focused on solution synthesis approaches for the
growth of a wide range of advanced functional inorganic materials.
Recent results were presented on the growth of: (i) highly
crystalline functional oxide films; (ii) nanoparticles and
nanocrystals; and (iii) nanostructures or nanocomposites by various
chemical solution methods. Gas sensing, photovoltaic, plasmonics,
memory devices, spintronics, bio-medical, superconducting, and
magnetic-field sensing applications were extensively discussed. The
articles in this symposium proceeding volume cover the development
of different chemical solution approaches to synthesize inorganic
functional materials for enhanced and/or novel functionalities for
a variety of applications. These papers convey the breadth of
exciting advancements happening in the area of functional materials
grown by various solution methods."
Symposium BB, 'Solution Synthesis of Inorganic Films and
Nanostructured Materials', was held during the 2012 MRS Spring
Meeting in San Francisco, California, on April 9-13, 2012. It
focused on solution synthesis approaches for the growth of a
wide-range of advanced functional inorganic thin film and
nanostructured materials. Recent results were presented on the
growth of: (i) highly crystalline, nanopatterned and composite
functional oxide films, (ii) nanoparticles and nanocrystals, and
(iii) self-assembled nanostructures by various chemical solution
methods. A strong increased interest in low-cost and high
throughput synthesis of functional and multifunctional inorganic
materials indicates the worldwide importance of such synthetic
methods. The symposium promoted information exchange between
worldwide researchers from universities and national labs and
engineers from industry. The papers in this proceedings volume
provide a glimpse of the recent developments in the chemical
solution growth of nanoparticles, nanocrystals, films, and
nanostructured materials for various applications.
