History

Main topics

The Series of International Symposia
on Ferroic Domains and Micro- toNanoscopic Structures (ISFD‘s) isdevoted to basic and applied aspectsof structural changes in condensed
matter connected with symmetry
breakingofcrystalsymmetry.
Symposia have been organized in evenyears in between International andEuropean Meetings on Ferroelectricity:• Static domain structures, twinning,

memories, anisotropic ceramics,
optoelectronic devices, smart
materials, etc.

10. Prague (Czech Republic)

macroscopic properties of polydomainmaterials, domain engineering• Domain walls, interfacial phenomena,
domain wall engineering• Domain wall dynamics, nucleation,
switching, extrinsic material properties• Domain structures in multiferroics• Domain structures in thin films, size

Venue
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic,
is well known for its historicalmonuments, classical architecture andrich cultural heritage. Come and discover
this wonderful city and walk in thefootsteps of Franz Kafka and AntonínDvořák but also of Tycho de Brahe,
Johannes Kepler, Christian Doppler,
Albert Einstein, Jaroslav Heyrovský andothers.
