Symposium Technical Description

Boundaries in materials can be separated into various categories: grain boundaries, twinning boundaries, phase transformations, ferroelectric domain walls, and magnetic domain boundaries. The character of these boundaries in materials determines their overall physical properties, e.g. stiffness, strength, plasticity, dielectric constant, piezoelectric constant, coercive field, and magnetic susceptibility. Moreover, the mobility of such boundaries influences their evolution over time, which results in changes in the aforementioned properties. Understanding the influence of boundaries in materials is important in many technological applications including structural materials, electronic materials, and magnetic devices. Therefore accurately predicting boundary character and evolution in materials is important for their exploitation in technological applications. This symposium invites abstract submission on topics related to improving our understanding of the influence of boundaries in materials on overall properties within the following categories (including theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches):

1. Modeling grain boundary anisotropy of energy and mobility in metals and ceramics
2. Computational modeling of grain boundaries in microstructure (using, e.g., atomistic, dislocation dynamics, or phase field methods)
3. Experimental characterization of grain boundary evolution during high temperature processes such as sintering
4. Improving our understanding of the effect of boundaries on material properties
5. Interactions of boundaries with defects
6. Modeling domain walls in ferroelectrics (using, e.g., phase field methods, continuum mechanics, or atomistics)
7. Experimental observation of ferroelectric domain walls using, e.g., scanning probe microscopy
8. Understanding the evolution of magnetic domains (using, e.g., phase field methods or continuum mechanics)
