Challenges in Ceramic Science: A Report from the Workshop on Emerging Research Areas in Ceramic Science

摘要: In March 2012, a group of researchers met to discuss emerging topics in ceramic science and identify grand challenges the field. By end workshop, reached consensus on eight for future:—understanding rare events microstructures, understanding phase-like behavior interfaces, predicting controlling heterogeneous microstructures with unprecedented functionalities, properties oxide electronics, defects vicinity ceramics far from equilibrium, accelerating development new materials, harnessing order within disorder glasses. This paper reports outcomes workshop provides descriptions these challenges.
