Ferroic materials, such as ferroelectrics and ferromagnets, exhibit long-range orders of charge or spin that are switchable by external electric and magnetic fields, making them promising for energy-efficient microelectronic applications. Recent advances in electron microscopy have made tremendous achievement for understanding ferroic materials by probing lattice, charge, and spin configurations, as well as their switching dynamics down to the atomic scale.

This symposium aims to facilitate the exchange of information and scientific discussion regarding the significant progress, challenges, and future directions of electron microscopy study of ferroic materials. The focus will be on new results in quantitative electric and magnetic field mapping, novel instrumentation and techniques for in situ observations, and other cutting-edge topics.
