### Symposium E

#### X Brazilian Electroceramics Symposium - In Honor to Prof. Dr. Jose Arana Varela

Scope of the Symposium

Electroceramics is an important interdisciplinary research area involving mainly physicists, chemists and engineers. Electroceramics is a very attractive area in Materials Science. It is large the number of journals and meetings with publication of many papers with potential technological impact. New materials with outstanding properties and potential technological applications together with old materials presenting enhanced properties offer a broad field of research opportunities. This symposium, organized by the Brazilian-MRS intends to be a forum for all researchers and students (undergraduate, M. Sc., PhD and Pos-Docs) on electroceramics. The state-of-the-art of R&D on electroceramic materials will be focused with reviews of the present knowledge and forecasts for future developments. Emphasis will be put on the opportunities for interactions and experiences exchange among researchers. Several features of R&D on electroceramics, including novel processing, experimental procedures and technological applications will be considered.

Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas

- Synthesis and Processing (powder synthesis, thin and thick film processing, self-supported structures, multilayer structures, heterostructures, nanostructures, sintering and microstructure development, grain boundary engineering, ceramic matrix composites
- Characterization (dc and ac standard electrical measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, transport phenomena and diffusion, defects in electroceramics, X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, electron microscopy, focus ion beam, Raman spectro
- Applications (dielectrics, ferroelectric memories, piezoelectrics, non-lead electroceramics, electrical ceramics, magnetic ceramics, ceramic superconductors, ionic-electronic mixed conductors, spintronics, sensors, actuators, transducers, varistors, soli
