Attendance is limited so please respond early.
The NASA Glenn Research Center has helped pioneer the development of ferroelectric microwave technology. Not only have effective devices and circuits been demonstrated, they have significantly outperformed their semiconductor counterparts and in some cases enabled entirely new functionality. This focused workshop will consolidate recent theoretical and experimental efforts, strictly associated with microwave devices and circuits based on thin ferroelectric films, for communications and sensor applications. There are still disconnects between the device designer and the materials scientist that need to be addressed. For example, there is still much debate surrounding the relationship between crystal properties and device performance.
