Summer School 2023
Polar Piezoelectric Oxides
The summer school focusses on preparation, characterisation and application of polar piezoelectric oxide crystals with special emphasis on lithium niobate, lithium tantalate and its solid solutions. Atomistic transport processes, the behaviour of domain walls and many other fundamental topics will be introduced. The event is organised by the DFG Research Unit 5044 Periodic low-dimensional defect structures in polar oxides.
Workshop topics
• Fundamentals of ferroelectrics
• Crystal growth and thin-film deposition
• Poling and domain structures
• Atomistic transport and modeling
• Optical properties
