EMMI MATERIALS

On the occasion of the Ferroelectric Materials and Application annual meeting (FMA26), the IKEDA foundation has awarded on 28th of May its price to Mario Maglione from the ICMCB Bordeaux. The price is given annually for outstanding contributions in the research of ferroelectric materials.

Mario Maglione leads the research group ‘ferroelectrics, ceramics and composites’ of the ICMCB, and is also deputy director of the institute.

Among the recent research results of his group is the discovery of novel ferroelectric materials and composites. Charged interfaces in such materials have been very recently shown to induce effective coupling with an external magnetic field, opening the way to improved multifunctionnality of electronic devices. It is the assessment of such charged interfaces in many different oxides which lead the IKEDA committee to its decision.
