Symposium X

Von Hippel Award Symposium in Honour of Prof CNR Rao FRS

(Jointly organized with MRS)

Symposium Scope

The Von Hippel Award, the Materials Research Society’s highest honor, recognizes those qualities most prized by materials scientists and engineers—brilliance and originality of intellect, combined with vision that transcends the boundaries of conventional scientific disciplines.

This symposium is organised in honour of 2017 Von Hippel Award winner Professor CNR Rao, FRS. He is the first Asian Scientist to receive this prestigious award.

Topics

  • Synthesis and characterization of novel materials including: Nanomaterials such as 2D materials, nanocrystals, metal clusters, nanowires, nanotubes (carbon and inorganic) and their heterostructures
  • Recent developments in novel transition metal oxides
  • Metal-oxide framework structures
  • Aliovalent anion substitution, bandgap tuning and applications
  • Applications of nanomaterials for a range of applications including catalysis, energy harvesting and storage
  • Dissipationless materials such as topological materials
