“National Seminar on Ferroelectrics & Dielectrics” (NSFD-2022) biennial Dielectrics Conference, initiated by the Dielectrics and Ferroelectrics group in India in 1980, has successfully completed 41 years of journey since its humble beginning at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. Dielectrics class of materials also referred as polar materials, include Piezo, pyro and ferroelectrics materials, play key role in modern technology, finding its applications in data storage, energy harvesters and wireless communications. This symposium will address developments in materials for a wide range of related technologies. It will bring together expert from diverse discipline and broadly cover materials and device related in the field. Special tutorial sessions will be arranged for young researchers and initiators to provide core research information.
The Topics of Seminar are broadly classified into five areas
I. Fundamentals of dielectrics, ferroelectrics & related materials
- ★ Relaxor and birelaxor ferroelectrics/dielectrics and disorder effects
- ★ Ferroelectric tunneling junctions, ferroelectric and magnetoresistive barriers.
- ★ Domain and domain wall engineering (functional domain walls)
- ★ Ionic and electronic phenomena in ferroelectrics
- ★ Surface and interface tailoring and basic emergent phenomena
- ★ Topological states
- ★ Multiferroics & magnetoelectrics, magnetoresistive phenomenon
II. Materials design and processing
- ★ Bulk materials, Thin films, heterostructures, composite, nanofibers and multilayers
- ★ Textured materials
- ★ Film processing technologies (preparation,characterization)
- ★ Patterning methods (net-shape forming, microfabrication)
- ★ Biomaterials and Lead-free systems
- ★ Hybrid materials
- ★ Low-energy sintering
III. Characterization of polar materials
- ★ Fundamental phenomena probed by scattering techniques (X-ray and neutron scattering)
- ★ Electron microscopy (surface and interface phenomena, in-situ studies of domain switching)
- ★ Raman and optical spectroscopies
- ★ Local phenomena by scanning probe microscopic techniques
- ★ Optical near-field imaging
