Several symposia address electronic materials, with an emphasis on wide bandgap semiconductors and electronic ceramics. Symposium AAA will feature the latest results in the very rapidly growing field of group Ill-nitrides, highlighting achievements in diode laser heterostructures and in InGaN and GaN/SiC LEDs. Symposium DD will cover electronic applications of diamond and diamond-like materials, including their use as cathodes in field emission flat panel displays, sensing applications, and switching devices. Symposia G and BB address oxide and ceramic thin films for a variety of electronic applications. The formation of quantum wires by strain-induced lateral-layer ordering will be one of the topics on optoelectronic materials covered in Symposium EE, with potential applications for quantum wire lasers. Ion beam technology will be featured in Symposium A, which will include sessions on surface optical property modifications, computer simulations of energetic particle/surface interactions, and the formation of nanocrystals and quantum dots in insulators by ion implantation. A summary of a DOE panel study, Energetic Ion Beams in Semiconductor Processing, is also planned. The areas of thin film growth and processing will be covered in several symposia which will individually focus on laser processing, phase transformations, epitaxial structure, and metastable phases. In Symposium I, a technique using orientation imaging will be described for determining grain orientations, an important issue for magnetic disk storage media. The development of diagnostic techniques for semiconductor materials processing and characterization techniques for probing surfaces and interfaces will be represented in several symposia ( K, L, CC, and J). These include advances in in situ techniques which make it possible to observe electromigration induced void dynamics in metal interconnects, as well as

new techniques which can probe the dynamics of gas-solid surface interactions at the atomic level. The study of crystal defects continues to be an underlying theme of high-Tc superconductor research. The nature of defects in these materials and their role in determining microscopic and macroscopic properties will be explored in Symposium F, with several joint sessions planned with Symposium G. Symposium G will address several classes of epitaxial oxide thin films, and will include presentations on a new class of lanthanum manganate materials with large magnetoresistive properties, which have possible applications in thin-film heads for magnetic data storage. A wide variety of topics in the areas of organic and polymeric materials will be covered in Symposia W and Y. Symposium W will address electrical, optical, and magnetic properties, while Symposium Y will focus on long-term
