Symposium K‎,‎ ‎'‎Nanostructures‎,‎ Thin Films and Bulk Oxides ‎- Synthesis‎,‎ Characterization and Applications‎'‎ and Symposium RR‎,‎ ‎'‎Solution Synthesis of Inorganic Functional Materials‎'‎ were held April 21‎-25 at the 2014 MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco‎,‎ California‎.‎ Oxide materials from bulk down to nanostructures are used for applications in microelectronics‎,‎ communications‎,‎ sensing‎,‎ energy‎,‎ catalysis‎,‎ nanophotonics and optoelectronics‎.‎ As the characteristic dimensions of oxide systems shrink into the nanometer range‎,‎ there are increased technological challenges for synthesis‎,‎ processing and characterization to ensure high uniformity‎,‎ reproducibility and cost reduction‎.‎ This symposium proceedings volume represents the recent advances in various areas of deposition‎,‎ processing‎,‎ characterization and integration of functional oxide materials‎,‎ with particular emphasis on the relationship among the structure‎,‎ composition‎,‎ stability and functional properties‎.‎ The papers are divided into three sections‎:‎ ‎(‎1‎)‎ ZnO Thin Films and Nanostructures‎,‎ ‎(‎2‎)‎ Multiferroics‎,‎ Magnetism and Magnetic Materials and ‎(‎3‎)‎ Oxide Thin Films and Nanostructures‎.‎
