First International Conference
on
Advances in Functional Solids
Fundamental and Applications
at
Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur
A Four-day conference
A Four-day conference
The discovery of a new functional material is merely the beginning of an extensive process that may ultimately lead to its practical application. Traditionally, exploratory synthesis has been the main approach to finding novel materials. However, a deeper understanding of structural motifs and their effects on properties has paved the way for more guided synthesis methods. Additionally, advanced computational tools and theoretical models are now capable of predicting new materials with exceptional properties.
The upcoming first International conference on Advances in Functional Solids (AFS) offers a unique platform for graduate students, post-docs, and other similarly experienced scientists to present and discuss new data and innovative ideas. The conference promotes the sharing of unpublished work, either through posters or oral presentations, covering all aspects of material discovery from synthesis to computational property screening to the optimization of promising materials for practical applications.
Scope
The discovery of new functional solids with diverse properties is essential, forging the path into the modern world. Synthesis, design, characterization, and theoretical insight into the materials help us understand the structural stability, their functional origins, and modulation of the properties. Recent developments in advanced experimental techniques provide an in-depth understanding of the material’s structure-property interplay. Additionally, advanced computational tools and theoretical models can predict new materials with exceptional properties. The pandora of new-age functional solids hosts materials with structural, electronic, optical, magnetic, electrical, thermoelectric, multiferroic, electro- and magneto-optic, and superconducting properties along with the materials for energy application. The meeting will discuss state-of-the-art materials, their promising functional aspects, and ground-breaking developments in the interdisciplinary area by integrating chemists, physicists, and materials scientists.
