This proceedings feature lectures and contributions identifying and exploring major new trends in contemporary materials science, in particular electronic and optoelectronic materials. Various aspects of the preparative technology, characterisation techniques, physical and physicochemical properties and device applications of new electronic and optoelectronic materials (amorphous, polycrystalline, crystalline semiconductors, magnetic media, high Tc superconductors, polymeric thin films, ferroelectrics, etc.) are treated via in depth reviews.
