Symposium: Domain Microstructures and Mechanisms for Advanced Properties in Phase Transforming Materials; Pittsburgh, PA; October 25-29, 2009TECHNICAL: Domain microstructures and their behaviors are central to several different research communities, and, historically, the understanding of domains in ferroelectric materials, magnetic materials, and shape-memory alloys has evolved independently in these communities, despite important commonalities among the underlying physical phenomena. Recently discovered nanoscale domains in these materials play an important role in the way these materials respond to various applied fields. This 3-day MS&T 2009 Conference symposium brings together researchers from these communities to present recent research in their fields with the following objectives: (1) To explore recent advances in experimental observations, theory and modeling of domain microstructures and the mechanisms for achieving advanced thermomechanical, magnetostrictive, and piezoelectric properties in phase transforming materials; (2) To discuss the role of nanoscale domains in improving the properties of ferroelastic, ferroelectric, and ferromagnetic materials; and (3) To consider the use of domain microstructures, domain walls, and crystal defects to design new functional materials with advanced properties. NON-TECHNICAL: The symposium includes experimentalists, theoreticians and computational scientists from different research communities with overlapping interests to facilitate discussion, debate and collaboration. It exposes young researchers (students, postdocs, junior faculty) and members of underrepresented groups (minorities, women, persons with disabilities) to the exciting field of phase transforming materials. It encourages new collaborations across disciplines and generations. The NSF funds are directed to the support of young researchers and underrepresented groups to encourage their participation. Availability of the financial support will be announced together with the symposium announcement and invitation through websites and emails. Invitations will be sent to researchers active in ferroelectrics, ferromagnetics, ferroelastics and shape-memory alloys to ensure symposium success and broad participation. The symposium focuses on emerging aspects of nanodomains, and the technical discussions should provide new insights into how domain engineering may be exploited in the creation of new materials.

专题讨论会：相变材料中的畴微结构和先进性能机理;宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡; 2009年10月25-29日技术：畴微结构及其行为是几个不同研究领域的核心，并且历史上，对铁电材料、磁性材料和形状记忆合金中畴的理解在这些领域中独立地发展，尽管在潜在的物理现象中存在重要的共性。最近在这些材料中发现的纳米结构域在这些材料响应各种应用领域的方式中起着重要作用。为期3天的MS& T 2009会议研讨会汇集了来自这些社区的研究人员，介绍其领域的最新研究，目标如下：（1）探索畴微结构实验观察、理论和建模的最新进展以及实现先进的机制相变材料中的热机械、磁致伸缩和压电性能;（2）探讨纳米畴在改善铁弹、铁电和铁磁材料性能中的作用;（3）考虑利用畴微结构、畴壁和晶体缺陷设计具有先进性能的新功能材料。 非技术性：研讨会包括来自不同研究社区的实验学家，理论家和计算科学家，他们的兴趣重叠，以促进讨论，辩论和合作。它使年轻的研究人员（学生，博士后，初级教师）和代表性不足的群体（少数民族，妇女，残疾人）的成员接触到相变材料的令人兴奋的领域。它鼓励跨学科和跨代的新合作。国家科学基金会的资金用于支持年轻的研究人员和代表性不足的群体，以鼓励他们的参与。财政支持的可用性将通过网站和电子邮件与研讨会公告和邀请一起公布。将向活跃在铁电体、铁磁体、铁弹性体和形状记忆合金领域的研究人员发出邀请，以确保研讨会的成功和广泛参与。研讨会的重点是纳米领域的新兴方面，技术讨论应提供新的见解，如何域工程可能被利用在创造新材料。
