Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The highly successful AMN conference series is the flagship of the New Zealand MacDiarmid Institute; a virtual centre of research excellence named after New Zealand's 3rd Nobel Laureate, Professor Alan MacDiarmid. The conference offers a broad interdisciplinary overview of advanced materials and nanotechnology, and provides an exciting forum within which to discuss new and exciting advances in the field. The 55 peer-reviewed papers cover topics that are related to nanotechnology, advanced materials, nanoelectronics, superconductors, spintronics, nanoparticles, microfluidics, advanced sensors, photovoltaics and nanobiology. The result is an excellent and timely guide to these specialized topics.This collection of 55 peer reviewed papers presented at the 5th Biennial Conference on Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology held in February 2011 in Wellington, New Zealand showcases the research of an international roster of scientists and students. A sampling of paper topics includes thin-film deposition of mixed-conducting ceramic membranes, pinning force anisotropy for HTS wires, formation of nanoparticles in Zr and Dy Doped YBCO MOD superconducting films, turnable Bragg gratings in polymer thin films, and evaluation of polyaniline for packaging applications. The articles are indexed by both keyword and author.
