We welcome you to State College, PA, USA for this joint meeting. The conference will cover a wide range of topics around ferroelectric & piezoelectric materials and their applications as piezoelectrics, pyroelectrics, electro-optics, capacitors, and memory devices. The synergy that will result from co-hosting ISAF/PFM and IWATMD will enable participants from industry, national laboratories, and academia to gather in a highly interactive environment for technical exchange. Tutorials will be held on May 12, 2014 covering a wide range of topics including, the fundamentals of ferroelectrics, an introduction to Piezoresponse Force Microscopy, transducer fundamentals, and piezoelectric materials for acoustic transducers.
