SYMPOSIUM 4: Frontiers in Low Dimension Ferroic Oxides

Ferroic oxides exhibit rich physics and great potential for applications in next-generation devices. Significant research efforts over the past decades have created unprecedented advances in the study of these materials. Recent breakthroughs in materials synthesis, characterization, theory and modeling, and device fabrication have led to emerging materials in the form of thin films, heterostructures, and nanomembranes, as well as emergent phenomena, including but not limited to exotic topological structures, magnetoelectronics and quantum magnetism. These advancements have attracted worldwide interest and opened up a new era toward understanding fundamental ferroic phenomena. This symposium will focus on interdisciplinary topics related to physics, materials science, and engineering within the field of ferroic oxides.
