Workshop
Young Researchers´School: Tutorial on Scientific Writing and the Editorial Process
Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Valtencir Zucolotto, IFSC / USP
The " Young Researchers´School " aims to develop / improve / strengthen the
skills necessary for researchers to do High Impact science, upon knowing the state of
the art in specific areas. The School will be offered to under and Graduate students
and post-docs.
It is hoped that researchers can optimize their potential in doing research, with regard to:
1) Development of national and international research projects with bold objectives,
and implementation of high-level scientific research. Such an approach is essential to
promote significant advances at the frontier of knowledge of each area.
2) Production of international scientific articles, through appropriate and efficient
writing.
As a result, we expect to collaborate with the formation of high-level
researchers, trained to recognize and act on the
state-of-the-art in their fields, in a way
to generate relevant knowledge and innovation for society.

Symposium D
XI Brazilian Electroceramics Symposium
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 actual technological applications and 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 experiences exchange and discussions 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 and characterization; self-supported structures; multilayer structures; heterostructures; nanostructures; sintering and microstructure development; grain boundary engineering; cerm
- Characterization: dc and ac standard electrical measurements; electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; electrical, magnetic, magnetoelectric characterizations; ionic-electronic mixed conductors; transport phenomena and diffusion; defects in electroceramics
- Applications: Dielectrics; ferroelectric memories; piezoelectrics; non-lead electroceramics; magnetic ceramics; ceramic superconductors; spintronics; sensors and actuators; transducers; varistors; PTC and NTC; solid oxide fuel cells; solid state batterie
