This manuscript is the preface for the proceedings of the focused session 'Perovskite Oxides for Electronic, Energy Conversion, and Energy Efficiency Applications,' which was held April 25-28, 1999, in Indianapolis, IN, during the 101st annual meeting of
This report contains the introduction to the proceedings of the 2001 National Educators Workshop, planned for October 16-18, 2001 at NIST. More than one hundred fifty participants from academic, industrial, and government organizations, as well as local
The International Joint Conference on the Application of Ferroelectrics (IFFF 2003) united the 13th IEEE International Symposium on the Application of Ferroelectrics (ISAF-XIII), the 14th International Symposium on Integrated Ferroelectrics (ISIF-XIV) and
Water molecules interactions in a agarose gel used as a ceramic binder and ceramic blends were studied by proton spin-spin relaxation. Nuclear spin echo signals of agar powder, water/agar gels, and gel/alumina blends were measured using a (π/2)-τ-π-τ-echo
Comparisons of two technical approaches for stress measurement based on the peak shifts associated with micro-Raman spectra are described. Stress values were obtained from evaluation of the relationship between peak shift and stress determined by both a

A MEMS-based differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) has been used to characterize the Ni/Si interfacial reaction in thin films at ramp rates of 940 C/s and 3760 C/s. The DSC devices were fabricated using CMOS semiconductor processing technology, and were
Interface wear behavior and its effects on frictional sliding shear resistance in fiber-reinforced ceramics was studied using a SiC fiber (SCS-6) - Al 20 3 matrix composite. Thin specimen pushout tests were performed and the wear behavior of the protruded

The effect of microstructure on the wear mechanisms of glass-ceramics and resin composites was studied. Wear tests on both types of materials were conducted using a pin-on-disk apparatus. Wear of glass-ceramics increased with increasing mica platelet
A brief description of the scientific program of the 1997 Materials Research Society annual meeting which took place in Boston Copley Square from November 31 to December 5, 1997 is given.
A round-robin to measure the thermal conductivity (k) of SIQ^2^ thin films has taken place under the Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards (VAMAS). Films with nominal thickness of 50 nm, 100 nm, 200 nm, and 500 nm, produced by oxidation of

Three types of liquids were found in the BSCCO system: transient, metastable, and stable liquids. The roles of these liquids are discussed with examples, including the role of metastable liquid in the formation of the (Bi,Pb)-2223 phase, applications of
First principles based molecular dynamics simulations were performed on a 40^3^ unit cell system of stoichiometry Pb(Sc 1/2Nb 1/2)O 3 (PSN). To imitate a realistic relaxor ferroelectric texture, the chemical microstructure was subdivided into 80 regions of
Two-dimensional calculations of anisotropic growth and coarsening are illustrated. This model is intended to simulate the development of microstructure in materials like Silicon Nitride. The model is comprised of an ensemble of polygonal particles with
