Jorge Iniguez: Masterclass in Materiali Ferroelettrici, Magnetoelettrici e Multiferroici
Jorge Iniguez , direttore dell'istituto di scienza dei materiali (ICMAB) terrà due lezioni (Masterclass) in Materiali Ferroelettrici, Magnetoelettrici e Multiferroici al Dipartimento di Fisica dell'Università di Cagliari, in qualità di Visiting Professor. La prima lezione, in programma il 9 Maggio (Aula A, ore 16:00), avrà per titolo: "Ferroelectrics and related functional oxides: from basic concepts to predictive models for complex materials" . Abstract. Ferroelectrics and related functional oxides: from basic concepts to predictive models for complex materials I will introduce the physics of ferroelectrics and related materials (dielectrics, piezoelectrics) that present non trivial lattice dynamical properties. I will focus on ferroelectric perovskite oxides, and discuss the simplest physical models that allow us to simulate their polar transition in an atomistic and realistic way. Then, I will review the most important effects (associated e.g. with chemi...
