Final Announcement and Call for Papers

DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONJune 10, 2013

Introduction

The European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) was established in 1983 through the initiative of individual European Materials scientists. A number of European materials scientists who attended the MRS meetings in the U.S.A. realised that such a society could be of benefit to Europe to enhance the links between materials science and industry and to provide a voice for the materials community. Most of the problems facing the world such as energy supply and health will be solved only by breakthroughs in materials science. It is vital that the outcomes of research are utilised through technological experience and innovation for the benefit of mankind. 2013 marks the 30th Anniversary of E-MRS and the Fall Meeting provides the opportunity to exchange ideas, expand one's knowledge and make new contacts. The conference will consist of 14 parallel symposia, a plenary session and satellite events and provides an international forum to discuss recent advances in the field of materials science. The conference will be augmented by an exhibition of products and services of interest to the conference participants. The Conference will be held at the Central Campus of the Warsaw University of Technology, from 16 th to 20th September 2013. It is the 12th E-MRS Fall Meeting following its launch in 2002 to run in parallel to the well-established Spring Meeting in Strasbourg. The Fall Meeting has become increasingly multi-national with a steadily growing number of symposia and participants from all over the world. Don't miss it! We look forward to welcoming you to Warsaw and your active contribution and participation in the conference.

Introduction and scope:The symposium is devoted to highlight breakthroughs in the field of alternative semiconductor integration on the mature Silicon technology platform, paving the way towards high performing (More Moore) and / or highly functionalized (More than Moore) Silicon-based microelectronics technologies to address challenges in modern societies.

Over the past 50 years, Silicon (Si) became the predominant material of choice for manufacturing integrated circuit (IC) technologies, achieving an unbeaten level of system integration. However, fundamental physical limits of Si present major stumbling blocks for further miniaturization (“More Moore”) and/or functionalization (“More than Moore”) of Si ICs. Future microelectronics applications for society (such as: low-power electronics for green technologies, merging of photonics & electronics for ultra-fast data communication, biomedical systems for aging society etc.) are thus the driving forces for the integration of alternative semiconductors on the mature Si technology platform. The symposium will be devoted to highlight novel breakthrough approaches in terms of materials (group IV (graphene, Ge, SiGe, (Si)GeSn etc.) ; III-V (Arsenides, Phosphides, Nitrides etc) ; II-VI (ZnO etc.)), semiconducting oxides etc.), heterointegration techniques (advanced heteroepitaxy, wafer bonding, microstructure printing etc.) and innovative hybrid technologies (merging of photonics and electronics, high mobility CMOS, universal memories, biomedical sensors etc.). It is by the productive interaction of “More Moore” (i.e. increase of CMOS circuitry computing power) and “More than Moore” (i.e. diversification of Si circuitries) approaches that materials scientists drive today the exiting transition of higher-value Si microelectronics from supporting technology towards supporting society.

Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:

Materials science: Group IV semiconductors: SiGe, Ge, and (Si)GeSn heterostructures, SOI, GOI, graphene and carbon nanotubes. III-V semiconductors: Arsenides, phosphides, nitrides and antimonides Semiconducting oxides ZnO, high electron mobility heterostructures, topological insulators, etc.

Integration Techniques: Advanced heteroepitaxy: Epitaxial lateral overgrowth, patterned wafer approaches, self-assembly techniques Layer Transfer: Wafer bonding, microstructure printing, die to wafer etc. Heterointegration: Through Silicon Via techniques etc.

Applications: Logics: CMOS high – mobility channels (Ge & III-V), SiGe & III-V high-power / frequency transistors; Photonics: III-V & Ge based IR and THz lasers; modulators, photodetectors, resonators etc. Sensors: Biomedical applications, gas sensors etc.

Introduction and scope:

Materials properties are determined by their structure, stress, and stoichiometry, which are, in turn, influenced by the processing techniques used to synthesize them. To design better devices and novel applications we need a more complete understanding of how the structure, interfaces, stress, defects and stoichiometry of nanomaterials and nanostructures affect their electrical, mechanical, optical or magnetic properties.

After a very good attendance of their first symposium Stress, structure, and stoichiometry effects on the properties of nanomaterials during E-MRS Fall 2011, the organizers decided to have a follow up in 2013. Nanomaterials posses an amazing array of interesting new and very useful properties. However, at the nanometer scale stoichiometry and structure strongly depends on the processing techniques. Moreover, the role of stress, interfaces and defects in these small volumes becomes critical. The electrical, optical, magnetic and mechanical response of ultrathin films, nanotubes, nanopillars, nanowires and nanoparticles is therefore quite complex and must be investigated in the context of their unique properties and special applications. The advancement of our understanding of new phenomena, coupled with the development of more efficient processes, more accurate characterization methods, newer functionalities for these nanomaterials and better simulation models are prerequisites to successfully meet future challenges. What processes and nanomaterials will be implemented in future devices will depend not only on their performance but also on the shelf lifetime and reliability under the action of physical and chemical stresses. This symposium will explore the wide variety of innovative methods that are currently being used to fabricate, characterize and model nanomaterials and nanostructures structure and properties and provide a forum for discussions to highlight the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

Developing new materials for renewable energy generation is critical to our planet's future. Growing importance of environmental issues is such that energy generation, conservation, storage and security of supply will be major driving forces for new materials technology. This symposium intends to focus on the latest advances in the development of new or improved materials for hydrogen storage including both applied and fundamental research. In recent years, the scope of candidates for hydrogen storage materials has expanded greatly, from traditional metal hydrides to complex hydrides and chemical hydrides. Novel systems from H-storage also comprise highly porous carbons, metal organic frameworks and nanoscaffold hybrid materials. The use of advanced synthetic routes allows tailoring materials microstructures from bulk crystalline to amorphous state and nanostructures. Computational modelling and simulations are having an increasing impact not only on the description of physical properties of known materials, but also on the prediction of novel crystal structures, and reaction paths. They are also used to predict the behaviour of hydrogen storage tanks based on these materials and to optimize the tank design. The scope of this symposium is to bring together experts in the fields of materials and system development for hydrogen storage. The conference should give the state-of-the-art in these fields, show advantages and disadvantages of the different storage materials and techniques and reveal still remaining material issues to be solved.

This symposium aims to join the research community working in paper based devices such as transistors, electrochromics, sensors or thin film batteries, among others, posing an innovative vision for new concepts and applications. This includes topics from new materials synthesis and new processing techniques.

Paper Electronics represent a relative new and radical concept that aims to combine the use of paper as a part of electronic components or devices. This concept is radically different of the conventional Electronic Paper, where a display shows information, being at the same time flexible and bendable as normal paper. So, the big challenge is to engineer paper in order to allow its usage on electronic devices, acting either as substrate or even as an active part of it. This symposium tries to bring together the research community dealing with paper manufacturing aiming their functionalization, but also scientists dealing with conventional electronic materials trying to adapt them and the processing techniques to be used in combination with paper. So, the scope of the symposium includes new technologies for paper manufacturing (control fibbers size, porosity, fillers, etc), new paper coatings (organic, inorganic or hybrid), paper surface functionalization (plasma or gas treatments, for instance) but also introduction of new materials (conductors, semiconductor insulators, electrochromic, batteries electrodes) and innovative cheap manufacturing technologies on large area (printing and roll-to-roll processes). This will extend the concept of printed electronics. Then these processes must be fully compatible with heterogeneous integration of several functions to produce a more complex and/or autonomous devices with great added value respect to traditional solutions.

Modern composite materials to be created for various industrial applications such as space industry, aeronautics, automobile production, power engineering, machine building, biomedicine, food and environment play a great role in our life. Investigation of new kinds of materials for reinforcing of composite materials in the form of nanoparticles and nanofibers, using of knitted and woven materials, development of modern technologies of composite materials production open the new challenges for research and development of this class of materials from one side and find new fields of their application from another side. So the main theme of our symposium devoted the discussion of the main achievements in the field of production, characterization, measuring of various properties of wide class of composite materials.

The development of materials science during last 50-60 years is inseparably linked with the creation of composite materials consist of two or more distinct components with interfaces to be distinguished by chemical composition, structure and physical and mechanical characteristics but at the same time together forming the new structure of material with the principally new useful complex of physical and mechanical and performance properties. Only on the base of composite materials (natural, for example, metal eutectic and synthetic such as reinforced heterogenous inorganic and organic materials) it became possible the production of high temperature and high-strength details and constructions with high thermal and electrical conductivity, unique magnetic and tribotechnical properties. Composite materials can be characterized by various complex of functional properties. Manufacturing of the products from composite materials is realized by the means of solid and liquid phase technologies, chemical and physical sputtering and various ways of deposition and ect. The program of our symposium will cover the detailed discussion of the problems concerning the composite materials development and the manufacturing of the products from these materials: from the theory to the ways of their practical realization. The unique advantages of composite materials such as high strength, high stiffness, long fatigue life, low density, light weight, adaptability to the intended function of the structure and many others will be discussed during symposium activity. Symposium topics concern various classes of composite materials such as composites reinforced by particles, fibers and woven structures. Furthermore various areas of application of metal-, ceramic, polymer-, carbon based composites and new possibilities of their applications in energy production, machine building, biomedicine and ect. will also be the themes of round tables. Special time will be devoted to innovative researches, to the questions of technology transfer and international cooperation in the field of composite materials. One of the main aim of symposium is the organization of open dialog between academicians and researches from one side and representatives of industrial sector from another side to find new possibilities of creation of materials with given complex of performance properties and to determine the new areas of application of such kind of materials.

The Symposium will cover recent developments in the field of “new materials” for electronic, optoelectronic, photovoltaic and energy saving and renewable energy sources applications. The main emphasis will be given to recent progress in the growth methods and understanding of properties of wide band gap materials suitable for use in new generations of electronic, optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices. Such selection of the Symposium topics reflects that fact that high scientific interest focuses recently on applications of wide band gap semiconductors, such as ZnO and GaN, and of some of wide band gap oxides, such as e.g. HfO2 or ZrO2, in the above-mentioned application areas. Some of these materials can also be used in biology and medicine as fluorescence labels, which will also be discussed during the Symposium. Symposium will cover the following topics:

Low temperature ZnO and high-k oxides for photovoltaic applications GaN for short and long wavelength LED applications GaN and ZnO for biological sensors ZnO-based LEDs for light sources Growth techniques of wide band gap oxides and material characterization Wide band gap materials for radiation detectors Photovoltaic, photochemical, thermoluminescent and thermoelectric materials Materials for energy savings Organic electronics

Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:New developments in growth methods, characterization and applications of wide band gap materials will be presented. Main interest will be focused on materials suitable for new generation of electronic, optoelectronic, photovoltaic applications. A booming field of materials for energy saving and for renewable energy sources will be reviewed.

The movement to technological platforms beyond standard CMOS and the creation of new materials sets beyond silicon is an imperative challenge for the foundation of the next generation of products for Information and Communication (ICT) applications. Organic and Carbon based spintronics meets these challenging requirements by combining naturally downscalable materials with low energy consumption information processing via Spintronic effects.

The advancement of organic semiconductors over the past decade has been spectacular. Numerous new materials based on small molecule or polymer semiconductors have been developed, and Europe has achieved and is maintaining a particularly strong position both in the industrial and the fundamental research. Display products based on OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes) have already become available to consumers and organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices are challenging existing commercial applications. New fields like electric memories for non-volatile data storage and organic field effect transistors (OFETs), featuring a convincing and high quality presence on the scientific scene, are on the verge of joining this race. On the other hand, Carbon based materials like graphene and CNT are challenging nowadays the whole batch of ICT materials, given the enormous richness of physical properties and extremely attractive application features. The entry of these materials into the field of Spintronics represents a relatively new and by no doubts extremely fascinating field, encompassing in a most striking way important features of the applications listed above. Spintronics takes full advantage of not only the charge but also the spin of the electron and features an exciting combination of the use of quantum effects on the nanoscale for information processing and storage with the use of electronics to create an output signal.

The symposium will be focused on smart and responsive materials for engineering of connective tissues. Nowadays biomaterials play an enabling role in regenerative medicine in treatment of many diseases of connective tissues. They provide 3D scaffolds and artificial extracellular matrix environments to support tissue regeneration. These materials should be not only biocompatible but also smart and responsive to enhance cells attachment, proliferation, and differentiation to engineer and form new tissue. Therefore, the major objectives of the symposium is to provide opportunity to scientists, researchers and industrial participants to discuss the current stage of biomaterials used in tissue engineering of the connective tissue and to define new directions for future development in this field. Tissue engineering (TE) is a prominent tool in regenerative medicine. Tissue engineering apply biological, chemical, and engineering principles toward the repair, restoration, or regeneration of living tissue by using biomaterials, cells, and factors alone or in combination Future advances in TE will depend on the development of “smart” and responsible biomaterials that actively communicate with cells and participate in the formation of functional tissues. The symposium will showcase the most recent achievements in biomaterials development and their applications in tissue engineering of connective tissues such as bone, cartilage, skin etc. This symposium will serve as a platform to exchange ideas and facilitate the advancement of biomaterials and regenerative medicine. The symposium will highlight, but not limited to: new generation of polymeric, ceramic metallic and composite materials for regenerative medicine; novel fabrication methods for generation of inductive and smart 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering, including computer

aided biofabrication; nanomaterials and nanofibrous structures and self-assembly materials for tissue engineering; design and fabrication of various growth factor drug delivery vehicles, carrier systems, cell encapsulation, release of drugs,

growth factors, differentiation agents, and other types of bioactive agents, especially when they apply nanotechnology and/or non-invasive approaches;

in vitro and in vivo studies on the interactions between cells and biomaterials/scaffolds; surface modification methods and their effects on protein adsorption and on cell seeding adhesion and proliferation; innovative techniques to improve the rapid vascularisation and the healing efficacy of tissue engineering treatment; various advanced characterization methods used in evaluation of the biomaterials, scaffolds and tissues including X-ray

ZnO is considered as outstandingly prospective material for developing series of electronic and optoelectronic devices. The symposium is dedicated to ZnO material science problems on the way to the nearest and future applications.

The aim of this symposium is to bring together scientists in order to represent current researches and developments in the field of ZnO, from bulk material to nanostructures. The absence of industrial applications of ZnO in electronics and optoelectronics is the subject of serious discussions about further directions of research and development of this well-known wide gap semiconductor material investigated for more than 80 years. Some exciting papers were reported in scientific journals, without leading so far to actual applications of ZnO in fields of electronics, optoelectronics and spintronics. The situation is complicated by material science issues, namely difficulties with p-type control, determination of defects type, doping, stresses and crystal quality of films, effect of ambient media, surface phenomena, annealing procedures etc. It remains necessary to choose directions of the forthcoming researches in order to create technological prerequisites for industrial fabrication of competitive ZnO-based devices. For that, scientific exchanges and discussions appear significant to identify reasons preventing applications of ZnO in the fields cited above. The symposium will focus on the fundamental understanding of growth processes of ZnO films and structures, the role of point defects and impurities, electrical and optical properties and priority applications of ZnO in electronics, optoelectronics and spintronics.

Improvement of materials for PEMFC and SOFC applications involves the crucial issues of durability, chemical stability and conductivity of solid electrolytes, reactivity of electrocatalysts, electrode-electrolyte compatibility. Interesting perspectives for the development of innovative materials can be opened by the synergism between experimental and theoretical approaches.

The aim of this symposium is to highlight recent progress in the design of materials for renewable energy sources applications in the field of fuel cells (PEM and SOFC) and to enhance a fruitful interaction between experimental and theoretical approaches. The issues that are today at the focus of the FC research are: i. improved conductivity and lower working temperature for solid oxide electrolytes, ii. higher temperature and dry operation for polymer membranes, iii. electrodes efficiency and compatibility with electrolytes. The technological impact of new and improved materials is strongly linked to the analysis of the theoretical aspects involved in the aforementioned topics. On the other hand, the experimental approach, encompassing the various aspects of preparation and structural characterization of state-of-the-art and model systems, constitutes the necessary complement of theoretical analysis in: i. providing data on local and long-range structure, also in operative conditions, ii. submitting questions to theoreticians, iii. validating the theoretical forecasts. The symposium will be devoted to address theoretical aspects, involving structural modeling and conduction mechanism, that are essential for a deeper knowledge of the fundamental processes ruling the behaviour of FC materials and to promote a closer collaboration between theoreticians and experimentalists, with the final aim of establishing synergic collaborations for the design and synthesis of innovative FC materials.

The envisaged subjects of discussion and possible collaborations are: simulation of local structure of electrolytes theoretical analysis of the conduction of ionic species, specifically protons and O2- theoretical analysis of electrode reactions and reactants exchange long-range and local structural characterization design and synthesis of new polymeric membranes design and synthesis of new solid oxide electrolytes design and synthesis of composite inorganic-organic electrolytes structural analysis of the electrode-electrolyte interface Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:

CdTe and Cd-rich ternary tellurides: Growth and characterization, physics of defects and impurities, surfaces and applications Three years after the last meeting dedicated to the “smart growth” of CdTe and Cd-rich ternary tellurides which was held in the framework of the 2010 E-MRS Fall Meeting, it is again timely to organize a new “CdTe” workshop covering the most prominent, modern and fundamental aspects of research on these materials as well as their applications in fields such as nuclear detectors and photovoltaic cells. While CdTe-based nanostructures are displaying a spectacular boom and are at the forefront of CdTe research, as illustrated by several hundreds of papers devoted to them in the recent literature, a significant activity is nevertheless still dedicated to bulk CdTe and associated Cd-rich ternary tellurides, mainly CdZnTe and CdMnTe. The principal focus areas are in the fields of physics of macro-, point-defects and impurities in as-grown and annealed crystals; surfaces and interfaces; refinement of the growth and characterization of crystals and devices; applications dealing mainly with photovoltaic cells, for which mass production has begun, and X-ray and γ-detectors, which are under development with material quality widely recognized as the key remaining issue. These topics will be emphasized and the different issues associated with them will be identified and discussed.
