A new technique to study ferroelectrics developed at University of Portsmouth

A new technique to study ferroelectrics developed by Dr Vopson at the University of Portsmouth has just been published. This is a very powerful new experimental method that could have a significant impact on the solid state ferroelectrics community as it provides the means to extract experimentally unique information such as intrinsic interaction and switching field distribution in ferroelectric solids.

Liam Soomary wins the 2018 AMS award for the Best Materials Physics Project

Congratulations to Liam Soomary for winning the 2018 Applied Materials Society award for the Best Materials Physics Project, for his work on Surface Characterization on SiC. Liam's work was a combination of research undertaken in Poland within an ERASMUS exchange visit and at the University of Portsmouth under the supervision of Dr Krupski.
