Magnetoelectric phenomena and devices

24 - 25 September 2012 09:00 - 17:00

In the last decade there has been an explosion of activity into materials and devices that interconvert magnetic and electrical signals. The magnetoelectric coupling required for this may arise in a single material or at the interface between two materials. Bulk samples, thin films and devices will be discussed.

Biographies of the organisers and speakers are available below and you can also download the programme. Recorded audio of the presentations are also available and the papers will be published in a future issue of Philosophical Transactions A.

Prior to coming to Cambridge in 1999 he was Dean and Professor of Physics at universities in Australia for eight years (most recently UNSW in Sydney 1995-9) and Professor and Assistant Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of Colorado 1971-1992. His early career was at Bell Labs. Author of 800 publications, mostly on ferroelectrics, he has published five books, and his book "Ferroelectric Memories" (Springer 2000) has been translated into Japanese and Chinese. He won the MRS gold Medal in 2009 and has also received a Humboldt Prize from Germany, a Monkasho award from Japan, and election to the Slovenian Academy of Sciences. In 1986 he was a founder and first chairman of the board of directors of Symetrix Corp. A Fellow of the American Physical Society since 1974, he has had a number of visiting appointments, including the SONY Chair of Science (Atsugi, 1997).
