Fundamental Physics

of Ferroelectrics

and related materials

2021

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.

Feb 1- 3, 2021

A workshop that brought together an international and interdisciplinary team of theorists and experimentalists

The 2021 "Fundamental Physics of Ferroelectrics Workshop,” was the 32nd 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 met virtually on the CadmiumCD platform and had 192 participants join us!

Due to the different time zones of participants, contributed and invited talks and posters were uploaded before the meeting, divided into sessions, and available on demand. The live streamed plenary and panel discussions on February 1-3 included Q&A sessions which allowed for audience questions. The event was a huge success with 124 on demand presentations and 21 live streamed sessions.
