Symposium C: Electrical and Magnetic Ceramics

Electrical and magnetic ceramics have been used in a wide variety of modern electronic circuits and have seen tremendous growth worldwide over the last few decades. Properties of electronic ceramics include dielectricity, ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, several transport properties of electrons, magnetic and optical properties. These properties are enabling electronic ceramics for number of demanding applications in electronic devices for communications, automobiles, modern mechatronics and biotechnologies. Most of these applications require high performance and reliability of materials. The purpose of this symposium is to provide an international forum for scientists, engineers, and technologists to discuss and exchange ideas in fundamental theories, processing technologies, property evaluations and applications for wide variety of electrical and magnetic ceramics. This symposium will bring together scientists, engineers, research staff and students from universities, research institutes and related industrial companies, active in the field of electronic ceramics. The activities at the symposium will consist of invited lectures from internationally distinguished researchers, oral presentations and posters, covering a broad range of fundamental and applied topics.
