Aims and Scope:
Transition metal oxide compounds with perovskite-type structure (AMX3-d), and its numerous derivatives, show attractive physical and chemical properties, such as high temperature superconductivity, magnetoresistance, multiferroicity, thermoelectricity, as well as interesting catalytic properties for various redox reactions.
These properties make perovskites a suitable functional material for many applications as well as a unique formal laboratory to test models and theories pertaining to Solid State Chemistry and Physics. Due to the very flexible structure of the perovskites, composition, structure and therefore properties can be tuned in a broad range, but in-deep understanding of the structure-microstructure-composition-properties-relation is still far from perfect.
The aim of the conference is two-fold: In the one hand, to assemble scientists from universities and other scientific institutions as well as industrial laboratories to discuss recent ideas and establishing the present “state of the art” in the perovskite world. Secondly, and not less important, to promote the international co-operations on perovskite-type materials in both basic and applied aspects.
For this we are taking the opportunity of joining the XVIII Mexican International Materials Research Society Meeting (IMRC) that every year congregates together in Cancún (Quintana Roo, México) many scientists from Latin America, Europe and the USA.
You can see the program and details about last year XVII IMR Congress in: www.mrs-mexico.org.mx
Symposia on Ferro-Piezoelectricity and Non Molecular Solids of the mentioned Congress were precursors of our conference. Participants of those meetings are encouraged to participate in our wide-spectrum forum.

Invited, oral, poster presentations and a concluding remarks round table will take place
