Description:

2016 Joint IEEE International Symposium on the Applications of Ferroelectrics, European Conference on Applications of Polar Dielectrics Workshop on Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (ISAF/ECAPD/PFM)We welcome you to the 2016 Joint ISAF/ECAPD/PFM Meeting in Darmstadt, Germany from August 21-25, 2016. This international conference brings together academia, industry, and national laboratories for a multidisciplinary exchange on a wide range of topics on the processing, characterization, and applications of dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, and ferroelectrics. The conference will be accompanied by tutorials on August 21, 2016 that cover various relevant topics.Electronic conduction phenomena in bulk ferroelectrics, thin films and domain walls (ferroelectric tunneling, ferroelectric magnetoresistive barriers, domain wall electronics)Point defects nanoionics in oxides (electroresistive neuromorphic systems; fundamental aspects of ionic motion defects in functional oxides; ionically-mediated electromechanical responses)Ionic phenomena in ferroelectrics (reliability lifetime, degradation, aging, fundamental aspects of wall pinning and order parameter interactions)Surface and interface phenomena on ferroelectric materials: screening and dead layers and domain wall instabilitiesDomain engineeringRelaxor and birelaxor ferroelectrics/dielectrics and disorder effectsFerroelectric photovoltaics (bulk and barrier photovoltaic effects, photostriction, photopoling, photoconductivity, etc.)Theory modeling (domain structure, phase transitions, critical phenomena, density functional theory, first-principles calculations, phenomenology)Nanoscale phenomena (nanostructure size effects on piezo-/ferroelectric properties)Multiferroics magnetoelectric effectsFlexoelectricity in bulk materials, membranes and structuresDevelopment of new ferroelectric and multiferroic materials: experiments theoryFerroelectricity in non-classical materials: binary oxides, sulfides and fluoridesGroup 2: Processing of Ferroelectric Crystals, Ceramics, Thick and Thin FilmsBulk materials (single crystals, ceramics, polymers, liquid crystals composites)Thick thin film processing technologies (preparation, characterization)Patterning methods (net-shape forming, microfabrication)Biomaterials (biofilms, self-organized nanostructures ferroelectric-like tissue)Group 3: Characterization Properties of FerroelectricsFundamental phenomena in ferroelectrics through scattering (X-ray neutron scattering of structure, bulk and domain wall dynamics, phenomena at surfaces and interfaces)Electron microscopy of ferroelectric materials (direct mapping of order parameter fields, surface and interface phenomena, in-situ studies of domain switching)Raman and optical spectroscopies of ferroelectric and piezoelectric materialsLocal phenomena in ferroelectrics by scanning probe microscopy methods: piezoresponse force microscopy, optical near field imaging, and microwave microscopySpectroscopic probing of electronic and electrochemical phenomena at ferroelectric surfaces and interfacesElectrical electromechanical characterization (broadband dielectric spectroscopy, piezoelectric characterization, non-linear methods, etc.)Novel characterization methods (focused X-ray ptychography, etc)Group 4: Applications of Ferroelectrics, Piezoelectrics and Related MaterialsFerroelectrics antiferroelectrics for energy (electrocaloric materials devices, ferroelectric photovoltaics, thermoelectric materials devices)Dielectrics (capacitors, ultra high-K materials, RF THz materials properties, energy storage harvesting devices, MRI Concepts (dielectrics for focusing, etc.))Medical ultrasound transducers, ultrasound actuators, and sensors for harsh environmentsFerroelectric memory materials devicesPiezoelectricity (high-performance piezoelectric single crystals, lead-free piezoelectrics, piezoelectric polymers, MEMS other integrated piezo-devices)Pyroelectric materials devicesOptical phenomena (signal processing, storage devices, periodic poling, photonic band-gaps)
