Frontiers of electronic materials

Electronic materials are the basis of any device designed for modern applications in e.g. information technology or energy conversion. Investigating and perfecting the properties of materials for electronic uses is the research focusof many institutional and industrial research groups acting worldwide. A major challenge, however, is to both theoretically model and experimentally prepare these materials with sufficient quality, and to integrate them with adequatecontrol so that these properties can be fully utilized.This collection of extended abstracts summarizes cutting edge research presented at "Frontiers in Electronic Materials", a Nature Conference on Correlation Effects and MemristivePhenomena which took place in 2012.It comprises of contributions from leadingauthors in these fields who discuss breakthroughs and challenges in fundamental research as well as prospects for future applications.Topics covered:- Electron correlation and unusual quantum effects- Oxide heterostructures and interfaces- Multiferrroics, spintronics, ferroelectrics and flexoelectrics- Processing in nanotechnology- Advanced characterization techniques- Superionic conductors, thermoelectrics, photovoltaics- Chip architectures and computational concepts INDICE: Electron correlation and unusual quantum effectsOxide heterostructures and interfacesMultiferrroics, spintronics, ferroelectrics and flexoelectricsMemristive phenomena: Phase change materials and nanoionic redox systemsEnergy conversion: Superionic conductors, thermoelectrics, photovoltaicsInformation technology: Chip architectures and computational conceptsNanotechnology: Atomic layer deposition, physical layer deposition, novel patterning techniquesAdvanced characterization: Spectroscopy, microscopy, scanning probe methodsTheory and Modelling: first principle methods, molecular dynamics, multiscale simulation
