SYMPOSIUM D From microwaves to X-ray, photons are extensively used in communication,
energy generation, material modification and characterization, including medical
diagnosis. This poses many important and interesting technological challenges
to the materials science community. In particular, the need for more efficient
solar cells, light emitting diodes, solid state lasers, photo detectors and
dosimeters tackle the development of new materials and devices used to convert
photons into excited charge states and vice-versa. Research in this area is
necessarily a multidisciplinary activity combining synthesis and characterization
of organic and inorganic bulk, thin film or heterostructured materials including
dye sensitized or nano-structured composites. This is the first symposium in “ Photodevices Materials” promoted by SBPMat. The symposium encourages submission of abstracts reporting experimental, theoretical and computer simulation works discussing materials for photodetection, photoemission and photoconversion, including photovoltaic cells, LEDs, photodetectors, X-ray imaging, dosimetry and other devices based on photo active/sensitive materials.
Keywords: photosensitive materials, photoactive materials, photo-devices. Paulo F. P. Fichtner
Papers from this Symposium will be published in a Special Issue of Journal of Materials Science To be considered for this special issue, the Brazilian MRS paper number should precede the title of the paper on the manuscript. This number will be removed before publication. The submission window for full manuscripts will be October 1 until November 30, 2006. 1) Go to www.editorialmanager.com/jmsc/ Journal of Materials Science Editors Grant Norton, Mark Aindow and Barry Carter will be present at the meeting to answer any questions. All papers will be fully reviewed in the usual way. Symposia chairs will be sent a copy of each submitted paper
