JOURNAL OF ADVANCED DIELECTRICS (JAD) – New Journal
http://www.worldscinet.com/jad/jad.shtml

++++Current issue is available for free at the website++++

***Aims and Scope***
The Journal of Advanced Dielectrics is an international peer-reviewed 
journal for original contributions on the understanding and applications 
of dielectrics in modern electronic devices and systems. The journal 
seeks to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the rapid communication 
of novel research of high quality in, but not limited to, the following 
topics:
•	Fundamentals of dielectrics (ab initio or first-principles 
calculations, density functional theory, phenomenological approaches).
•	Polarization and related phenomena (spontaneous polarization, domain 
structure, polarization reversal).
•	Dielectric relaxation (universal relaxation law, relaxor 
ferroelectrics, giant permittivity, flexoelectric effect).
•	Ferroelectric materials and devices (single crystals and ceramics).
•	Thin/thick films and devices (ferroelectric memory devices, capacitors).
•	Piezoelectric materials and applications (lead-based piezo-ceramics 
and crystals, lead-free piezoelectrics).
•	Pyroelectric materials and devices
•	Multiferroics (single phase multiferroics, composite ferromagnetic 
ferroelectric materials).
•	Electrooptic and photonic materials.
•	Energy harvesting and storage materials (polymer, composite, 
super-capacitor).
•	Phase transitions and structural characterizations.
•	Microwave and milimeterwave dielectrics.
•	Nanostructure, size effects and characterizations.
•	Engineering dielectrics for high voltage applications (insulation, 
electrical breakdown).
•	Modeling (microstructure evolution and microstructure-property 
relationships, multiscale modeling of dielectrics).
JAD was sponsored by International Center for Dielectric Research 
(ICDR), Xi'an Jiaotong University, China.
