8th International Tutorial Workshop on PFM and Nanoscale Electromechanics of Polar Materials, August 25-27, 2010, Beijing, China

Submitted by jiangyuli on

This workshop aims
to provide in-depth description and recent advances in piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and nanoscale
electromechanics. It will introduce basic principles of PFM operation, relevant
instrumental aspects, and image interpretation. The theory of cantilever
dynamics, PFM contact mechanics, resolution theory, and their implications for
qualitative and quantitative data interpretation will be presented. The recent
technical advances, including vector PFM, high-frequency PFM, band-excitation
and DRFT imaging, switching spectroscopy PFM, and imaging and polarization
switching in liquids and vacuum, will also be illustrated. For ferroelectric
and multiferroic materials, applications of PFM for domain imaging, nucleation

The 8th International Conference on Structural Dynamics EURODYN2011 will take place in Leuven from 4 to 6 July 2011

Submitted by stijnfrancois on

The Structural Mechanics division of K.U.Leuven is organizing the
Eighth European Conference on Structural Dynamics
EURODYN 2011 in Leuven, Belgium, from 4 to 6 July 2011,
in cooperation with the Technical Institute of the Royal Flemish
Society of Engineers (TI KVIV) and the European Association for
Structural Dynamics (EASD).
The EURODYN conferences have developed into one of the key conferences
in structural dynamics. Apart from reflecting the state of the art of
research in structural dynamics, EURODYN 2011 will also address
industrial developments and applications.
