Symposium KK
Polarization-crucial Materials for Sensing, Transduction and Energy
The symposium will provide an international forum for participants to exchange their insights, research outcomes and information related to polarization-crucial materials and technologies, promoting synergy among the efforts on materials, devices, system integrations, and applications.
The technical subject is about polarization-crucial materials for sensing, transduction and energy applications, covering following topics.
- Composition, processing, structure, and property of various dielectric materials, including linear dielectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, ferroelectric, and electret materials
- Design, fabrication and property of various micro/nano structures and interfaces with electric polarization and charge distribution, eg. space charges
- Theory, analysis, characterization, modeling and simulation related to polarization and charge distributions
- Dielectric behaviors at high frequency, including THz; photon and phonon interactions
- Technologies of sensing, energy harvesting, vibration/noise mitigation, data and energy storage enabled by dielectric materials, and/or micro/nano structures and interfaces with electric polarization and charge distribution
- Signal and energy transductions among mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, and magnetic (such as electromechanical, laser ultrasonic, photoacoustic, viscoelastic, magnetostrictive, photovoltaic conversions), and their applications
- Sensors, actuators, transducers, memories, energy harvesters, acoustic absorbers, vibration damper, capacitors, and supercapacitors
