7^th  INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON FERROIC DOMAINS AND MESOSCOPIC STRUCTURES

Important dates :
  Manuscripts should be given on 15/09

SCOPE

Since the first symposium on Ferroic Domains that was held in Volgograd (Russia) in 1989, the  scope of ISFD has been enlarged to all types of mesoscopic structures and, more recently to problems related with structural organisation at nanometric scales. Such questions as static domain structures in crystals and ceramics, dynamics of domain walls and switching phenomena, change of domain structures at phase transitions, domains in thin films and size effects, nano-and mesoscopic structures (including relaxors, glasses, and incommensurate phases), are in the scope of the meeting. Besides, the research in this field has become so important for applications which appeared in last years, that a specific part is devoted to applications and techniques  : aspects related with FeRAMs and integrated ferroelectric films, high-k materials for microelectronics, domain engineering and photonics, domains in piezoelectric materials, transducers, sensors, actuators, and shape memory alloys, together with development of techniques, will give rise to special sessions. Mention finally that contributions on theory, interdisciplinary topics, and unifying aspects are strongly encouraged.
(see also the sessions)
Authors will have the possibility to submit a paper that will be referred in normal conditions for publication in a special issue of Ferroelectrics.

GENERAL  and  TRAVEL  INFORMATION
 

The conference will be held near Toulon (between Marseille and Nice, South of France), in the peninsula of Giens (French Riviera), located at around 20 km from Toulon (map below). Lodging facilities are available in the same place for all participants. Only participants coming with a car may think to another place for lodging because other hotels are rather far from the meeting place.

There are two possibilities for reaching the meeting place :

from Toulon railways station
from Toulon airport  (Hyeres)

1.  Flight to Paris and  flight correspondance to Marseille airport or to Nice airport.
Then take a shuttle at the airport to reach the railways station to go to Toulon.

2. Flight to Paris and train correspondance to Toulon
From Paris airport, reach  "Gare de Lyon" (railways station to the south-east). There are several "TGV" (high speed train) going to Toulon.

3. Flights to Toulon airport (Hyeres)

Accomodation
 

Lodging facilities are given in the place of the meeting, the "GIENS VVF", a social holiday structure where special fares were negociated. Other hotels are generally too far away to be convenient.

Accomodation prices include  breakfest and dinner.

Registration

The registration fee includes lunch, coffee breaks, excursion, banquet, materials of the meeting, and proceedings.
It does not include accomodation.
A banquet will be given on Wednesday evening and an excursion by boat to the island of Porquerolles is planned in the afternoon of the same day. Moreover accompanying persons will have access to the different activities in the center (tennis, scuba diving and nautic sports,...).

FOR ACCOMODATION / REGISTRATION Contact : PROMOSCIENCES (click here) Deadline : 15, July !

Cancellation conditions : you recover the sum you paid :  *  -20% before August, 15      *  -50 % before September, 1     *  after we cannot guarantee

MANUSCRIPTS SUBMISSION
 
 
 
 

Papers may be submitted for publication in the journal Ferroelectrics. Please prepare manuscripts in electronic form (*), following strictly the instructions to authors.

The papers will be referred in the usual conditions of this journal.

Registered participants will also receive the special issue of Ferroelectrics corresponding to ISFD7,  in a CD ROM, from which they may obtain reprints.
 

Important :

u Two copies of the manuscript must be provided the first day of the meeting, namely on 15th of September, together with the disket.

u The length of papers is not fixed strictly. We advise a maximum length of 6 pages.

u For instructions to authors on how to prepare the  manuscript : click here !
 
 

(*) Please note that Camera-Ready papers are no more accepted !
 
 
 
 
 
 

FINANCIAL HELPS :

We are waiting for the answers of  all possible sponsors before replying to the applications for financial support that have been sent to us. The situation will be unfortunately known rather late, about June or July. We shall probably not be able to reply before.

We nevertheless encourage the applications of young scientists since the EUROPEAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY has already informed us that ISFD7 would get a sponsorship. Moreover we hope to have a positive answer from the European Community.

The list of sponsors will be updated regularly and will appear in the abstract book of the meeting.

If you want to sponsor us, please contact the chairman or the scientific secretary. There are several solutions, including the possibility to have a demonstration stand at the meeting, and to advertise your firm (send your logo to advertise your firm in the documents of the meeting).

We may propose at least two solutions :

- a stand with demonstration and documentation during the whole length of the meeting. The cost (including accomodation and living expenses of one person) is 1500 euros.
- documentation in the form of posters during the meeting and within the documents of the meeting (internet site, proceedings, etc), with the presence of your logo and address in the list of sponsors. Cost : 750 euros.
 
 

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other proposals.
