Charge Transport in Non-metallic Solids
| Date: | Wed, 2 April 2008 |
|---|---|
| Venue: | IOP, London |
| Organised by: | The Dielectrics Group of The Institute of Physics |
| Sponsored by: | The Materials and Characterisation Group of the Institute of Physics |
Introduction
The meeting aims to bring together workers engaged in a wide range of investigations of charge transport in non-metallic solids. Topics will include: both ionic and electronic conduction; investigations of the fundamental mechanisms of charge transport; percolation; modelling the conduction process in both natural and man-made composite electrical and electromagnetic materials; the design and development of solids with specified conduction properties and the ac characteristics of non-metallic solids.
