Attend a seminar exploring the cutting-edge field of topological states in nanoscale ferroelectric materials. Discover how the development of materials science has revealed topological states of matter, transitions, and materials characterized by non-local field interactions that make material properties dependent on their geometric shape. Learn about ferroelectrics and their unique properties determined by polarization fields, which exhibit strong non-locality due to electrostatic forces. Explore how miniaturization and advanced experimental methods have enabled researchers to study polarization nanotextures, including visualization and switching of domains, determination of polarization distribution, and control mechanisms. Examine the current limitations in theoretical modeling methods for structures caused by long-range fields and experimental approaches that cannot directly study polarization topological structures non-destructively in bulk nanomaterials. Gain insights into complementary theoretical and experimental approaches being developed to identify and comprehensively study topological states in nanoscale ferroelectrics, and understand how to establish relationships between polarization topological structure and material properties.
