FLAME PIs Provide Insight into Online Conferencing During COVID-19 Pandemic

The Electroceramics XVII conference, organized by FLAME PIs Andreas Klein and Jurij Koruza, was the first fully online conference in the biannual Electroceramics conference series. The recent publication provides a summary of the experiences gathered during the organization and execution of the meeting. Besides discussing the various pros and cons, the aim was to provide basic guidelines for scientific online conferencing, which will hopefully encourage individual readers to consider virtual meetings as an alternative or a supplement to in-person events, even after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prof. Jürgen Rödel, erhielt am 20. April 2021 die höchste wissenschaftliche Auszeichnung der Deutschen Keramischen Gesellschaft (DKG), die Seger-Plakette, bei deren Jahrestagung im April 2021.

In this new publication, Zhang et al. utilized in situ high-energy X-ray diffraction and a fast area detector to investigate the structural/microstructural changes and macroscopic electrical/mechanical responses of the antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition in NaNbO3.

In our recent publication, Ding et al. characterized the domain morphology of the newly designed NaNbO3 based antiferroelectric materials by transmission electron microscopy.

Oral Competition Price for Students

Electronic Materials and Applications 2021 (EMA 2021) is an international conference focused on electroceramic materials and their applications in electronic, electrochemical, electromechanical, magnetic, dielectric, biological and optical components, devices, and systems.

Material design guided by DFT calculations

In this new report from the FLAME project, we produced a new NaNbO 3 -based antiferroelectric material that exhibits reversible antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase transition under the guidance of DFT calculations.
