Multiferroic Coupling Effects and Dynamics of Domains and Domain Walls at the Nanoscale

The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Multiferroic and Magnetoelectric Materials provides a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and early career scientists from around the globe to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

This GRS will focus on novel aspects that result from the synergy of multiple functional properties as well as the design of new multiferroic and magnetoelectric systems with enhanced functionalities. Topics will include: complex electric and magnetic orderings such as vortex structures, domain wall and domain functionalities, design and growth of heterostructures, thin film systems and geometric ferroelectrics.

A further aspect of this meeting concentrates on the requirements for implementation of multiferroics in technological applications, addressing questions from switching dynamics and energy consumption to the design of multiferroic device architectures.

The convivial environment and discussion-oriented outline of the meeting will foster ample opportunity to junior investigators, tomorrow's leaders in the field of multiferroics, to network and spark future collaborations.

In the spirit of the Gordon Research Conferences (GRC), the participants are encouraged to present and discuss unpublished work. GRS participants are also highly encouraged to attend the GRC on Magnetoelectric and Multiferroic Materials that will take place immediately following the GRS.
