Technical Symposia The 1999 MRS Spring Meeting offers 34 technical symposia, featuring the latest developments in display materials, mag netic materials, and biological materials. The meeting will be held in the San Francisco Marriott Hotel and expand this year into the Argent (formerly ANA) Hotel, in which the display symposia will be held. The technical meeting will run from M o n d a y , April 5 t h r o u g h n o o n Friday, April 9, and it includes 2,300 poster and oral presentations. Some of the newer topics include sensors and flat-panel displays (Symposium B), luminescent materi als (E), linking materials computation and experiment (G), hard and soft magnetic materials (H and I), patterned magnetic structures and magnetoelectronics (J), and hybrid structures (DD). While the content of the meeting is diverse, several Clusters of symposia have common threads. Display Materials Symposia A-F are ried together by the theme of display materials. The largest components of this Cluster are the sym posia on Amorphous and Heterogeneous Silicon Thin Films—Fundamentals to Devices (Symposium A) and Luminescent Materials (Symposium E). Several Joint sessions between Symposia A and Fiat Panel Displays and Sensors—Principles, Materials, and Processes (Symposium B) cover thin film transistors. Symposium B also overlaps with Symposia C, E, and F, with Joint sessions planned on field emission displays, phosphors, and organic luminescent materials, respectively. Sym posium C, Materials Issues in Vacuum Microelecrronics II, Starts Monday afternoon with a series of invited talks in a Joint Session with Symposium B on the Status of held emission display technology, packaging, processing, applications, and reliability. Symposium F, Organic Nonlinear Oprical Materials and Devices, Covers photorefractive polymers, electrooptics, and other nonlinear optical behavior. The Symposium on Liquid Crystal
MRS BULLETIN/FEBRUARY1999
Materials and Devices (D) Starts by summarizing the effects of shape, structure, side chains and other aspects of liquid crystals and ends with new emerging technologies in areas of photofunctionality, color filters, and holography. Magnetic Materials The Meeting includes a group of sym posia (H-L) that addresses hard and soft magnetic materials, patterned magnetic structures, magnetoelectronics, hybrid magnetic semiconductor structures, and issues related to magnetic storage media. Symposia H and I have several Joint oral and in-room poster sessions on nanoscale hard magnetism. Symposium I (Amor phous and Nanocrystalline Materials for Hard and Soft Magnetic Applications) balances coverage of hard magnetism with ultrasoft materials. Joint sessions between I and L cover nanocrystalline magnetic thin films and
