Advanced materials with finely tuned electric and magnetic properties represent a key pursuit for materials scientists. Their potential applications include more energy-efficient electronic devices, higher-performing hybrid electric vehicles, and more intelligent data storage systems. The primary objective of this symposium is to explore the electrical and magnetic properties of newly developed advanced materials and to deepen our understanding of their roles in electrical, electronic, optoelectronic, and magnetic applications.
This symposium will serve as an international forum for the presentation of technological advances and the latest research in innovative processing and device applications of functional electric and magnetic materials.
- Electric Materials: Free electron theory, band theory, metals, semiconductors, and insulators; electrical resistivity; effects of composition and temperature; discussion of specific conductive materials (e.g., OFHC copper, aluminum alloys, Fe-Si alloys, amorphous metals).
Dielectric phenomena including the concept of polarization, frequency and temperature dependence; dielectric materials (e.g., ceramics and polymers); dielectric loss, dielectric breakdown, ferroelectricity, and pyroelectricity.
- Magnetic Materials: Overview of diamagnetism, paramagnetism, ferrimagnetism, and ferromagnetism; hard and soft magnetic materials; rare-earth and non-rare-earth alloys; magnetic oxides, ferrites, garnets, soft magnetic composites, and fine particle magnets.
