MRS Fall Meeting
December 1-5, 2003
Hynes Convention Center and Sheraton Boston Hotel
Boston, MA
MRS
Symposium K: Functional Organic Materials and Devices
The last few years have seen a rapid progress in electronic and optical
molecular and polymeric materials and device development. These materials
have the potential to be key enablers for novel photonic, electronic,
and optoelectronic device applications. These applications are broad and
include: smart cards, flat-panel displays, light-emitting diodes, transistors,
photovoltaics, photorefractivity, sensors, data storage, and optical coatings.
The objective of this conference is to bring together researchers from
the applied, as well as the fundamental, areas of materials and device
fabrication.
Papers regarding electronic/optical/optoelectronic molecular and polymeric
materials are solicited in, but not limited to, the following areas:
· Device applications: light-emitting structures, transistors,
photocells, and modulators
· Materials development and characterization
· Self assembly and nanostructures
· Hybrid devices
· Combinatorial techniques in materials and device optimization
· Data storage
· Molecular electronics
· Photonic bandgap applications
· Device physics and engineering
· Photochromics and electrochromics
· New phenomena
· Processing and printing techniques
· Optical fibers
· Sensors and actuators
· Reliability and degradation
· Superconductivity and magnetism
