New Perovskite Materials with Large Field-Induced Electromechanical Strains

坎教授将作为谢菲尔德材料科学与工程系的访问学者，为期3个月，从2011年4月1日至6月30日。在访问期间，他将与Reaney教授合作，在表现出高机电应变的无PbO陶瓷领域进行研究。这项研究的主要目的是将在俄勒冈州几个有希望的系统中进行的出色的成分加工研究与Reaney教授团队中可用的晶体化学、结构和微结构的特殊知识相结合。此外，坎教授将利用他在谢菲尔德的时间访问利兹、帝国、伯明翰、利物浦和曼彻斯特的其他感兴趣的研究小组，以促进英国社区内的进一步联系。他将适当地在目标英国电子陶瓷领域的团体中举办研讨会并讨论他的出色研究成果。

Professor Cann will be a Visiting Scholar at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Sheffield for a period of 3 months from April 1st until June 30th 2011. During his study visit, he will undertake in collaboration with Professor Reaney's research in the field of PbO-free ceramics which exhibit high electromechanical strain. The main aim of the research is to combine the excellent compositional-processing-studies carried out in several promising systems at Oregon with the exceptional knowledge of crystal chemistry, structure and microstructure available within Prof. Reaney's group. In addition, Prof Cann will use his time at Sheffield to visit with other interested research groups at Leeds, Imperial, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester to foster further links within the UK community. He will, were appropriate, give seminars and discuss his excellent research findings at targeted UK groups who work in Electroceramics
