Photonics is a critically important technology.

Advances in synthesis and characterization of dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric thin films are included in this volume.

This proceedings investigates the relationship between features at the atomic level including oxygen vacancies, stacking faults and site order/disorder, grain boundaries, film-substrate interactions, buffer-superconductor interactions, thermodynamic, transport, and other macroscopic properties.

This proceedings offers information for those interested in the fundamental aspects of ceramic surface and interfacial phenomenon such as wetting, adhesion, chemical reactivity, and structure-property relationships, and the influence of these factors on the nature of bonding/joining of ceramic materials.

These proceedings are designed to provide a forum that integrates research in characterization and modeling to advance the science of ceramic/composite sintering.
