SYMPOSIUM P - Crystal Chemistry of Functional Materials


This symposium will investigate the relationship between features at atomic level such as crystal chemistry and crystal structure and macroscopic physical properties. Phase diagrams which represent the heterogeneous phase relations of multi component systems and which are based on the relevant crystal chemistry serve as a framework for interpreting the microscopic – macroscopic relations. Regarding thin films, the interplay between rate controlled growth and in situ monitoring provides additional opportunities for atomic level structure control.

There will be sessions on the following topics:
