2016 Multiferroic & Magnetoelectric Materials Gordon Research Conference Research Area 9: Materials Science - 9.1. Materials by Design
Abstract
The technical objective of the proposal is to provide supplemental funding to support the onsite expenses (registration fees) for 7 speakers and discussion leaders attending the 2016 Gordon Conference on Multiferroic and Magnetoelectric Materials. The 2016 Gordon Research Conference on Multiferroic and Magnetoelectric Materials is the second GRC Meeting on this topic. The agenda will address the latest developments in the investigation, design, and applications of multifunctional materials with a strong coupling of magnetic and dielectric components. The conference topics include the synthesis of new multiferroic materials, studies of the fundamental physical mechanisms leading to the coexistence and mutual interaction of magnetism and electrical polarization, the control of multiferroic properties by external electric and magnetic fields as well as pressure, novel magnetoelectric effects in nontrivial topological systems (such as skyrmions), new functionalities of multiferroic domains and domain boundaries, multiferroic effects in thin films and heterostructures, spin-orbit interaction in 5d compounds, utilization of multiferroics and magnetoelectrics for devices and applications, and the theory and modeling of multiferroic properties. The meeting will bring together scholars from different scientific disciplines (incl. physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, etc.) representing all aspects of multiferroic and magnetoelectric materials, from fundamentals to applications. Invited speakers and poster presenters are encouraged to discuss their unpublished results, thus providing the most recent progress and advances, as well as identifying the next challenges for the future development of the field. The format of the Gordon Research Conference will allow for plenty of opportunities to discuss the latest achievements with the focus on extended discussion sessions after each talk, the presentation of results from all participants in the afternoon poster sessions, and with additional time for informal meetings during the afternoon and evening hours.
