Solid-State Chemistry and Materials Science IV - Magnetic, Electronic and Optical Properties of Materials
This symposium will bring together scientists from the fields of inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, condensed matter physics, materials science, and engineering in order to examine current topics of interest to the greater materials chemistry community. Topics will include prediction and exploration of magnetic phenomenon such as those found in dilute magnetic semiconductors and magnetoresistive materials.

Sessions will be comprised of invited speakers and contributed talks. Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are highly encouraged to submit abstracts.
