| Scope |
The symposium will covers normal/relaxor ferroelectrics, piezoelectric ceramics, magnetostrictive materials, magnetoelectric composites, multiferroic ceramics, microscopic characterization, modeling and simulation of ferroelectric, magnetostrictive, and magnetoelectric behavior. Special sessions on multiferroics and nanoferroic phenomena will be conducted emphasizing the importance of this research in present times. Recent work on synthesis, characterization and theoretical modeling of ferroic and multiferroic nanomaterials and thin films are among the topics that will be discussed. Novel approaches to nanostructuring, characterization of material properties and physical responses at the nanoscale will also be emphasized. The symposium will consist of regular, invited and keynote presentations.
