Defects 7 Surface-Induced Effects in Advanced Perovskites: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, Jurmala, Latvia, August 23-25, 1999

Book Description
Complex oxide materials, especially the ABO3-type perovskite materials, have been attracting growing scientific interest due to their unique electro-optical properties, leading to photorefractive effects that form the basis for such devices as holographic storage, optical data processing and phase conjugation. The optical and mechanical properties of non-metals are strongly affected by the defects and impurities that are unavoidable in any real material. Nanoscopically sized surface effects play an important role, especially in multi-layered ABO3 structures, which are good candidates for high capacity memory cells. The 51 papers presented here report the latest developments and new results and will greatly stimulate progress in high-tech technologies using perovskite materials.

Book Info
Demonstrates the importance of the NATO workshop Defects and Surface-Induced Effects in Advanced Perovskites held in Jurmala (Latvia), August 23-25, 1999, in which 67 participants from 21 Western and East European countries came together to discuss the main results in this field.
