Fundamental Physics
of Ferroelectrics
and related materials
2020
An annual series of workshops starting in 1990
Over the past 30 years this workshop has evolved into one of the world's leading forums on the physics of ferroelectricity and related phenomenon, where the best researchers from around the world gather to share and debate cutting edge developments in the field of ferroelectrics and related materials, both experimental and theoretical. This workshop series has played a significant role in fostering multi-institutional collaborations on research devoted to understanding the fundamental physics of these complex and versatile materials.
Jan 26- 29, 2020
A workshop that brings together an international and interdisciplinary team of theorists and experimentalists
The 2020 "Fundamental Physics of Ferroelectrics Workshop,” is the 31st in the series of workshops that has gathered the world’s leading theorists and experimentalists working in the field of ferroelectrics and related materials every year since 1990. This year we meet in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA, just north of the border with Washington, D.C., at the Silver Spring Civic Building at Veterans Plaza in downtown Silver Spring. The meeting includes two and a half days of oral sessions, a poster session, and a banquet.
