ICMR Workshop at UCSB

Dates:

Wednesday 27th, Thursday 28th, and Friday 29th August 2014

Start and end times:

2:00 pm, Wednesday 27th, to 6:00 pm, Friday 29th.

Venue:

University of California, Santa Barbara, ESB 1001

Organizers:

Judith Driscoll, University of Cambridge
John Mitchell, Argonne National Laboratory
Matthew Rosseinsky, University of Liverpool
Ram Seshadri, UC Santa Barbara

Theme:

The aim of this invitation-only workshop is to review the state-of-the-art of certain aspects of functional oxide materials, both bulk and thin film, with the specific aim of improving channels of communications between practitioners of oxide science from across different disciplines

This workshop is inspired by the earlier, highly successful one held at UCSB in 2007: URL

Topics (in no particular order):

Magnetic, ferroic, and multiferroic oxides, high pressures, oxide heterointerfaces, 5d, high-quality materials, theory and prediction, ion transport.
