Scope of Symposium

This symposium is aimed at providing a forum for participants from academic, research and development, and industrial communities worldwide to exchange latest information and progress on functional ceramic materials, oxide thin films and heterostructures. It also addresses the future development of functional ceramic materials and oxide thin films for electrical, electronic, magnetic, optical, optoelectric and functional applications. Topical areas will cover all the new and rapidly developing areas of functional ceramic materials, oxide thin films and heterostructures, fabrication, physical and functional properties as well as their applications.
