Scope:

The symposium, “Advanced Ferroic Materials: Processing, Characterization and Device Application”, aims at providing an interdisciplinary forum for presentation, discussion and review of the latest advance in science, technology and applications of ferroic materials, including ferroelectrics, ferromagnetics, ferroelastics, multiferroics and others. It intends to promote communication and collaboration among scientists involved in basic, applied, and theoretic research of the areas. Contributions devoted to topics such as development, design, measurement techniques, applications, devices and so on of ferroic and new functional materials in ceramics, single crystals, thin films, and composites are invited.

Topics:

• ferroelectric and relaxor ferroelectric materials
• ferromagnetic materials
• ferroelastic materials
• multiferroic materials
• piezoelectric/pyroelectric materials
• domain engineering
• domain structure and domain observation
• fundamental science of ferroic materials
• new functional materials
