Electric and electromagnetic fields can promote far-from-equilibrium chemical reactions, phase transformations, and microstructural evolution. From an industrial standpoint, processing advanced materials using externally applied fields can have a smaller energy footprint compared to conventional methods, and as such will have a profound impact on society. The January, 2021 issue of MRS Bulletinvisits some of the scientific questions that remain about the fundamental mechanisms underlying interactions of external fields with matter. More opportunities can present themselves as we expand our studies to various material systems.
This webinar will present three talks with authors from the MRS Bulletin issue. An interactive Q&A will be held with each of the speakers following their talks.
