[Wien] SP-SSM 2008 - Abstract submission deadline

[Rocquefelte]

Dear colleagues,

We cordially invite you to participate to the Second International 
Symposium on Structure-Property Relationships in Solid State Materials 
(SP-SSM 2008) to be held in Nantes from June 29th to July 3rd, 2008. All 
the information regarding this interdisciplinary conference can be found 
at the conference website: http://www.cnrs-imn.fr/SP-SSM_2008/. Abstract 
submission deadline has been postponed until February, 4.

The goal of the symposium is to highlight the relationships between 
specific physical properties of the materials and their structure and/or 
chemical composition as well as how these properties may be modified by 
varying the nature of the chemical bonds, the strength of the 
electron-electron interaction, the concentration of dopants, etc. The 
meeting will be devoted mainly to structure-property relationships in 
magnetic, optical, electronic, thermoelectric and functional materials. 
Within the scope of this symposium, further topics in fuel cell and 
photovoltaic solar cells will be encouraged. This symposium will provide 
opportunities for experimental and theoretical solid state chemists, 
physicists and materials scientists to share their knowledge and expertise.

Important dates:

*February 4th, Abstract submission deadline*
February 15th: Final program
March 1st: end of early registration
June 29th: paper submission deadline
