P02 – Probing Phase Transitions from Atomic-Scale Imaging to In Situ Control
Materials that exhibit long-range orders of charge or spin undergo phase transitions driven by external electric and magnetic fields, making them promising candidates for energy-efficient microelectronic applications. Recent advances in electron microscopy have significantly enhanced our understanding of these phase transitions by probing lattice, charge, and spin configurations, as well as their switching dynamics at the atomic scale. This symposium aims to facilitate the exchange of information and scientific discussion regarding the significant progress, challenges, and future directions in the electron microscopy study of materials undergoing phase transitions. 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 related to phase transitions.
