SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY of
FERROELECTRIC MATERIALS

January 24-26 , 2000, La Jolla, California

Research talks(up to 30) are given by the invited speakers (usually leaders of the

research groups or,if they decide so,by their collaborators or PhD students) nominated

by the members of the Steering and Executive Committees. The time allowed for each

talk is 25 min + 10 min for discussion or,35min total.

We encourage our speakers to immidiately define the problems of their topics and subsequently present ways toward their solution.
