Probing structure–property relationships in functional ceramics demands integrated approaches combining complementary experimental probes (e.g., light, X-ray, electron, neutron) with theory and simulation. Spatially and temporally resolved multiscale state-of-the-art scattering, imaging, and/or spectroscopy techniques can capture the dynamic material structure, composition and microstructure under external stimuli (e.g., electric/magnetic and stress/strain fields), which are necessary to answer open questions in this field.
This symposium bridges the Basic Science and Electronics Divisions, focusing on rapidly developing experimental and computational-imaging techniques, big-data analysis, and modeling approaches, to answer open structure–property relationship questions in functional ceramics, and demonstrate use cases of these methods.
The symposium will demonstrate new characterization techniques and stimulate new research questions and collaborations. Methods for approaching challenging problems spanning from functional interfaces to structural ordering will be featured. Contributions integrating novel applications of computational tools to predict and interpret scattering, diffraction, and microscopy data (e.g., Ptychography, Molecular-Dynamics) are encouraged.
