Scope:

The symposium will provide interdisciplinary discussions for diverse oxide materials of thin films and composites with a wide range of topics: material growths, characterizations, processings and device fabrications. Topics of the recent remarkable progresses in nanoparticles, nanocomposites, nanostructures consisting of oxides and related materials are also included. Both experimental approaches and theoretical approaches including development and analyses of simulations and modelings are also welcome to this symposium. The symposium focuses on interfaces, top-surfaces and growth of multilayers, superlattices and nanostrucutes of oxide materials. Those materials provide new functional phenomena which are never observed on conventional bulk materials. We encourage a variety of scientists to submit papers for a wide range of topics to this symposium of 'Fabrication and Properties of Oxide Thin Films and Composites'.

Topics:

• Oxide materials including insulators, semiconductors, conductors, superconductors and multiferroics.
• Material growths and characterization of oxide films, multilayers, superlattices, nanostructures and bulk materials. The characterizations include structural, mechanical, electrical, chemical, thermal, magnetic and optical aspects.
• Theoretical studies of development and analyses of simulations and modelings.
• Applications and devices using oxides and related materials.
• Effects of processings, etchings and annealings on various properties and defects of oxides and related materials.
• Other topics related with oxide materials (such as phase transitions, dopings and band gap engineerings) are welcome to this symposium.
