THE 9th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED MATERIALS, ROCAM 2017

5. Electronic materials and devices: from RF to THz

Scope
The high data rate communications as well as remote sensing systems demand advanced materials and technology for efficient use of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. This section aims to present the recent advances and future trends in the field of electronic materials and devices for RF, microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz applications. A broad range of related topics, from synthesis and properties of the electronic materials to passive components, active devices, circuits and subsystems will be addressed.

Topics

Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:

Dielectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, and multiferroics
Semiconductor, superconductor, and magnetic materials
Phase transition materials/ phase change materials/ chalcogenides
Metamaterials, electromagnetic band-gap structures, and photonic crystals
Design/ modelling, processing/ fabrication/ integration in devices and subsystems, low and high-frequency characterization techniques
Basic devices and subsystems - variable capacitors, switches, filters, modulators, sensors, antennas
Sources and detectors
