2002 TMS Annual Meeting
(Seattle, Washington - USA, February 17-21, 2002)

International Symposium on Science and Technology of Interfaces
in Honor of Dr. Bhakta Rath

Scope:

The objective of this symposium is to present current research and developments on interfaces in a variety of materials ranging from advanced nanostructred materials to high Tc superconductors. Special attention will be paid to the effects of interfaces on the unique, highly desirable properties of these materials; as well as their applications. The symposium aims to assess the current status and to indentify future directions of R&D in these materials. Special focus will be on the following topics: synthesis and processing; modeling; characterization & properties.
