Ferroelectrics Meeting of Americas (FMAs)

The topics covering all aspects of ferroelectrics, ferroics, multiferroics, and related multifunctional materials and devices will be covered but not be limited to:

• Theory, first principle calculations, phase transitions, and critical phenomena
• Growth of crystals, processing of materials and characterization, structure-property relationships, and thin films
• Domains and boundaries, surfaces and interfaces, imperfections, controlling and exploiting topological defects
• Dielectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric properties
• Ferroelectric polymers, composites
• Probing the nanoscale ferroelectric behavior and size effects
• Order-disorder phenomena, ferroelectric relaxors
• Ferroics, bio-ferroics, multiferroics, bio-multiferroics, cross-coupled, and secondary ferroics
• Raman, IR, sub-millimeter, THz, microwave spectroscopy
• Ferroelectric-semiconductor integration
• Novelty of perovskites—single- phase ferroics, mixed oxides for energy harvesting, and superconductor oxides
• Simulation, modeling, and design of novel ferroics and meta-electronic materials
• Ferroelectrics by design—beyond serendipity
• Novel applications and device concepts using various ferroics and multiferroics for the applications in bio-components, multifunctional device concepts
