Joint 12th Russia/CIS/Baltic/Japan Symposium on Ferroelectricity and 9th International Conference Functional Materials and Nanotechnologies
The joint International Symposium RCBJSF–2014–FM&NT successfully has united two international events - 12th Russia/CIS/Baltic/Japan Symposium on Ferroelectricity (RCBJSF-12) and 9th International Conference Functional Materials and Nanotechnologies (FM&NT-2014).
The RCBJSF symposium is a continuation of series of meetings on ferroelectricity, first of which took place in Novosibirsk (USSR) in 1976. FM&NT conferences started in 2006 and have been organized by Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia in Riga. In 2012 the International program committee decided to transform this conference into a traveling Baltic State conference and the FM&NT–2013 was organized by the Institute of Physics, University of Tartu, Estonia.
The joint international symposium RCBJSF–2014–FM&NT was organized by the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia and was part of Riga - 2014, the European Capital of culture event.
The purpose of the joint Symposium was to bring together scientists, students and high-level experts in solid state physics, materials science, engineering and related disciplines.
The number of the registered participants from 26 countries was over 350. During the Symposium 128 high quality scientific talks (5 plenary, 42 invited, 81 oral) and over 215 posters were presented.
