2014 International Symposium on
Applications of Ferroelectrics
by Xiaoli Tan, Associate Newsletter Editor for ISAF

On May 12-16, the International Symposium on the Applications of Ferroelectrics (ISAF), International Workshop on Acoustic Transduction Materials and Devices (IWATMD) & Workshop on Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) met jointly in State College, Pennsylvania on the campus of The Penn State University. Professor Susan Trolier-McKinstry was the General Chair.

This international symposium continues the collaboration between the UFFC ISAF and related working groups in the areas of ferroelectric & piezoelectric materials and their applications as piezoelectrics, pyroelectrics, electro-optics, capacitors, and memory devices. The conference was well attended, with 561 attendees from 27 countries; approximately 25% of the attendees were from industry.
