International Workshop on Synthesis of Functional Oxide Materials

The International Center for Materials Research at the University of California Santa Barbara is hosting an International Workshop on Synthesis of Functional Oxide Materials, whose purpose is to bring together Chemists, Physicists, and Materials Scientists involved in the synthesis of functional oxide materials for fundamental studies and applications. Topics include correlated and magnetic materials, optical, polar, battery, high pressure materials, frustration, and superconductivity. The program consists of invited speakers presenting 45 minute lectures. All participants are encouraged to submit poster abstracts. Attendance will be limited in order to maximize interaction among participants. The workshop will take place from August 19 - 24, 2007.
