Dear Psi-k members,

we are organizing a symposium at Electronic Materials and Applications 2016 (EMA 2016), an American Ceramics Society conference. EMA 2016 will take place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando at Sea World in Orlando, Florida, on January 20-22, 2016.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

Materials by design: computational and/or experimental emerging strategies for searching, designing, and discovering new electronic materials

High-throughput data generation and screening via first principles and other computations

Modeling at different (and across) scales (first principles, force fields, phase field, etc.)

Novel phenomena at interfaces and heterostructures: interface driven functional materials

Low-dimensional systems (quantum dots, nanowires, graphene, and related systems)

Theoretical challenges and development of accurate description of defects and interface properties

Electronic and/or thermal transport in electronic materials and low-dimensional structures

Further details about the conference and the symposium can be found here:

The deadline for abstract submission has now been extended to 28th of September 2015.

The abstracts can be submitted here:

Needless to say, your participation at this meeting will be extremely valuable, and will strengthen the standards and excitement we wish to achieve. We all look forward to seeing you in Orlando!

Regards,

Ghanshyam
