铁电国际会议通知：The IMF-ISAF-2009 Conferences

The IMF-ISAF-2009, a joint meeting of 12th International Meeting on Ferroelectricity and 18th IEEE International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics, hosted by the Electronic Materials Research Laboratory of Xi’an Jiaotong University, will be held from August 23 to 27, 2009 at Xian, China.

The IMF 12 is the 12th in a series of meetings held every four years since 1966, with a purpose of providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest advanced research in the field of ferroelectricity,
focusing on fundamental and applied topics related to ferroelectric phase transitions, traditional and new materials and related systems.
The ISAF 18 is the 18th in a series of meetings held every year recently.
The meeting is sponsored by the Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society (UFFC-s) of the IEEE.

The meeting covers a broad range of physics, processing, characterization and applications of ferroelectric and related materials.
This will be the first time for the IMF and ISAF series go to China.
The joint meeting will bring together more closely the ferroelectric communities around the world with the communities of China.
