This symposium brings together materials and engineering researchers to present the latest advances in electronic materials, including synthesis, especially powder processing derived techniques. This includes compositional and microstructure analysis with regards to characterization of dielectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric properties in the form of bulk ceramics, single crystals, thick films, and multilayers (MLCC). These materials have tremendous impact on a variety of technologies, including ultrasonic transducers, memories, MEMS devices, actuators, sensors, and tunable microwave devices. Other topics of interest include nanoscale domain phenomena, low temperature powder processing) and electric-field-induced phase transitions.

Session Topics:

Advanced electronic materials, including dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, electrocaloric, and pyroelectric materials
Materials design, new materials and structures, or non-conventional methods
Reliability and fatigue of ferroelectric materials or related properties
