Ferroelectric Phenomena in Soft Matter Systems

Month: May 2008

Date: May 12--16

Name: Ferroelectric Phenomena in Soft Matter Systems

Location: American Institute of Mathematics, Palo Alto, California.

Organizers

Maria-Carme Calderer and Jie Shen.

Description

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to the modeling, simulation and analysis of the ferroelectric phenomena in soft matter systems such as liquid crystals, elastomers and gels. The ferroelectric phenomena of these materials, such as its interaction with electric fields in switching processes, introduce new challenging problems that can only be properly addressed with a combined effort of theoretical and experimental physicists, and analytical and computational mathematicians.

Deadline

January 10, 2008.
