Asylum Research is hosting a virtual academy on Piezoresponse and Electrochemical Force Microscopy and Spectroscopy. The academy is organized by renowned leaders in the field, Sergei V. Kalinin and Roger Proksch, and features lectures from experts around the world. The introductory keynote lecture will be given by Prof. Andrei Kholkin of the University of Aveiro, a prominent figure in the field of ferroelectric materials and measurement technologies.
The PFM Academy aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the field, covering recent developments and integrating the latest advances with established theory and practice. It is especially beneficial for newcomers to the field of ferroelectrics, as they will learn about advances in material analysis, including binary ferroelectric materials like hafnia and nitrides, twisted bilayers, and layered ferroelectrics. On the instrumental side, the academy will explore new interferometric detection systems for quantitative measurements of electromechanical properties, as well as machine learning and automated experiments for analyzing large PFM datasets.
The virtual academy follows the tradition of the PFM schools that began in 2006 at ORNL. The curriculum consists of two hours of virtual lectures, held twice a week throughout October 2024. You can watch sessions on demand that interest you the most, tailoring your learning to your specific needs.
