Magnetoelectrics at the mesoscale

26 - 27 September 2012 09:00 - 17:00

This meeting will focus on the mesoscale properties of multiferroic and magnetoelectric materials for future device applications that exploit magnetic and electrical order parameters that are coupled either directly or via strain. A theoretical and experimental treatment of surfaces and interfaces, including domain walls, will provide insight into current perspectives and future trends.

Biographies of the organisers and speakers are available below. Recorded audio of the presentations will be available on this page after the event.

Attending this event

This is a residential conference, which allows for increased discussion and networking.  It is free to attend, however participants need to cover their accommodation and catering costs if required.

Participants are also encouraged to attend the related Discussion meeting Magnetoelectric phenomena and devices which immediately precedes this event.

  • Professor James Scott FRS, University of Cambridge, UK

    Professor James F Scott FRS is a Director of Research in the Department of Physics at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University. 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).
