Ceramic materials, such as metal oxides, exhibit rich ferroic 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 bulk crystals, thin films, heterostructures, and nanomembranes, as well as emergent phenomena, including but not limited to exotic topological structures, multiferroicity, spin transport, 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 the interdisciplinary topics related to the physics, materials science, and engineering within the field of ferroic ceramics. The goal of this symposium is to bring together scientific experts and young scientists with an interest in ferroic materials to advance the fundamental understanding, develop modern experimental techniques, and explore new devices and applications.
