Call for Papers

Please contact the symposium organizers with questions.

Chemistry plays a central role in the development and characterization of new inorganic materials. From developing synthetic techniques that make new families of materials available to elucidating correlations between the crystal structure and functionality, solid state chemistry unifies researchers across several disciplines. This symposium will provide a forum for discussing the underpinning science of synthesis of new materials and exploring how the structure of a phase dictates its physical properties. Presentations on advanced characterization methods to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms for how materials assemble at the atomic level. Talks on new characterization techniques potentially incorporating AI/ML techniques for experimental control and data analysis and the characterization of novel materials for magnetic, dielectric, and porous materials are also encouraged. This symposium offers the opportunity for experimental and computational materials chemists to discuss the current state-of-the-art in materials design and characterization. Contributions that use detailed structure and property characterization are encouraged, particularly when supported by electronic structure calculations.

Topics will include:

• Photocatalysis
• Solid state lighting
• Porous materials
• Energy storage
• Dielectrics, ferroelectrics, and multiferroics
• New compositions and materials
• Thermoelectrics
• Crystal chemistry
• X-ray and neutron scattering
