Functional and Electronic Materials, IUMRS-ICA2010

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: Volume three of the five volumes from the September 2010 conference contains 146 papers presented during five symposia on materials for electronic devices, smart materials, gels and aggregates, thin films, and ferroelectic, piezoelectric, and dielectric materials. Eight papers from the University of Electronic Science and Technology investigate phase transitions in stacked chalcogenide films, the dielectric properties of doped CCTO ceramics, charge transport in organic FETs and LEDs, and the effect of phosphorus pentoxide on MnZn ferrites. Other topics include the high damping capacity of a binary TiNi shape memory alloy, silicone coatings filled with carbon nanotubes, the synthesis of electron-transporting compounds, and thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering.
