Challenges in Multiferroics & Magnetoelectrics
12-14 October 2015
Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany
Overview
The field of multiferroics and magnetoelectrics is a very promising one in terms of applications with new, outstanding devices, such as high-density four-state or low power-consuming magnetoelectric memories. Despite this, however, progress has been somewhat hindered by the unfortunate lack of materials presenting the desired properties.
This workshop is held as the second and final dissemination event of the French-German (ANR & DFG funded) GALIMEO project. The project aims at performing a complete combined theoretical and experimental study of a highly promising magnetoelectric material, Ga2-xFexO3. Results obtained within this project will, however, be presented in a much broader framework. The purpose of the workshop is to allow an extended reflection on the present theoretical and experimental challenges in the field of multiferroics and magnetoelectrics research.
The invited speakers will give 35-minute presentations followed by a 10-minute time slot for discussion.
Contributions are very welcome, and will be presented during a poster session.
