Tutorials will take place Sunday 31 July from 2pm - 5.30pm in Harker 1 in the Department of Earth Sciences:

2.00 - 3.15 Finlay Morrison - Electrical Characterisation of Materials: ac Impedance Spectroscopy

The talk will focus on the application of impedance spectroscopy for
electrical characterisation of functional materials. Topics covered will
include: Benefits of ac spectroscopic measurements over dc and fixed
frequency measurements Introduction to ac impedance and ac circuits
Immittance formalisms Data representation and analysis using equivalent circuits Some case studies including bulk ferroelectrics, high
permittivity materials, integrated FeRAM devices.

The talk should be of interest to anyone who uses any type of dielectric
constant or conductivity measurements to investigate structure property relationships in ferroelectric, piezoelectric or multiferroic materials.

3.15 - 4.30 Alexi Gruverman: piezoforce microscopy (pfm)
4.30 - 5.30 Asylum Research: pfm demonstration

Delegates are encouraged to bring samples for pfm, and make appointments with the Asylum representative for testing during the conference. The Asylum stand will be in Earth Sciences.
