4th WMC (2027)

Ferroelectric materials exhibit a broad spectrum of functional properties, enabling diverse applications—from electromechanical transduction to high-density energy storage—thereby sustaining enduring interest in their fundamental research and technological development. Among these, piezoelectric materials constitute a pivotal subclass of ferroelectrics and serve as critical enablers in modern electronic systems, including sensors, transducers, and precision actuators. Driven by the growing demand for high-power, high-efficiency energy storage solutions, recent research has intensified efforts toward advanced ferroelectric dielectrics with superior energy storage performance. This symposium will address cutting-edge advances across three interconnected thematic pillars: (i) environmentally sustainable lead-free piezoelectric ceramics; (ii) high-power, high-efficiency ferroelectric energy storage materials and devices; and (iii) emerging applications enabled by novel ferroic phenomena and engineered microstructures. The event will bring together leading international researchers and early-career scientists to present and discuss frontier topics—including foundational mechanisms, emergent physical phenomena, innovative material systems, scalable synthesis methodologies, advanced multimodal characterization strategies, and translational applications. Key focus areas—though not exclusively limited to—include:

(1) Fundamental advances in ferroelectric physics and structure–property relationships;

(2) Development and application of lead-free piezoelectric ceramics;

(3) Design, optimization, and integration of high-performance ferroelectric energy storage materials and devices;

(4) Ferroelectric thin films, heterostructures, and state-of-the-art in situ/operando characterization techniques.
