Solid State Ionics: Symposium Proceedings(European Materials Research Aociety Symposia Proceedings S.)

In recent years Solid State Ionics and Solid State Microbatteries have attracted considerable interest due to the important role which they may play in the future of microelectronics and eventually in other fields of energy storage. This volume presents papers on the theory, experiments and applications in this field including: Solid state microbatteries; Thin films solid state batteries; Fast ion conduction; Intercalation and lattice dynamics in layered materials; Electrochromes; Solid state diffusion; and Microsensors.
