SYMPOSIUM 24: Advanced Electronic Materials: Processing Structures, Properties, and Applications

This symposium brings together materials and engineering researchers to present the latest advances in electronic materials, including synthesis, especially powder processing derived techniques. This includes compositional and microstructure analysis with regards to characterization of dielectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric properties in the form of bulk ceramics, single crystals, thick films, and multilayers (MLCC). These materials have tremendous impact on a variety of technologies, including ultrasonic transducers, memories, MEMS devices, actuators, sensors, and tunable microwave devices. Other topics of interest include nanoscale domain phenomena, low temperature powder processing) and electric-field-induced phase transitions.
