Abstract: Ceramic and glass materials have unique property combinations that allow them to perform in a variety of applications, especially in new emerging technology areas. In this symposium, we seek papers that examine the technical area of optical and magnetic behavior of inorganic, solid-state materials. In the area of optical materials, we seek papers that examine ceramics and glass that perform in various bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, focusing on UV-VIS-IR from 0.2–25 microns. Papers addressing the thermal properties of those materials are being sought as well. In the area of magnetic materials, we seek papers on magnetic and high-frequency/GHz/microwave properties and applications, as well as papers examining the fundamental mechanisms associated with magneto-optical materials, and their potential use in next-generation devices. Synthesis, processing, and manufacturing approaches to both categories of materials are also desirable.
Proposed sessions:
- Advanced synthesis and processing of optical and magnetic materials
- Functional optical and magnetic materials and devices
- Magneto-optical materials
- Advanced characterization of optical and magnetic materials
- In-situ characterization approaches of functional materials
- Device design implementing new optical/magnetic materials
- The role of lanthanides as a class of critical materials
