11th Conference on Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy and its Applications (BDS2022)

Broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) is a powerful experimental technique permitting to investigate the molecular dynamics of polar (and nonpolar) materials over a wide frequency range covering up to 16 decades, at different temperatures and pressures.

BDS finds an incredibly large number of applications in different fields of science and technology. The technique has, in fact, been successfully employed in studies on:

• molecular dynamics of liquids, liquid crystals, glasses, polymers and other disordered systems;
• charge transport in ionic glasses and liquids, semiconductors, organic crystals, ceramics, polymers;
• interfacial phenomena and confinement effects;
• non-linear electrical effects. BDS is also a very useful tool to monitor chemical reactions and phase transitions, e.g. crystallization, irreversible adsorption, tautomerization, etc.

The following topics will be addressed in devoted sessions:

S01 Polymer Dynamics
S02 Soft Matter Dynamics and Phase Transitions in Amorphous, Partially Ordered and Ordered Systems (Liquid and Plastic Crystals, Ferroelectrics, Ceramics, Pharmaceuticals, etc.)
S03 Glassy Dynamics and its Scaling under Different Variables (Pressure, Temperature, Electric Fields, etc.)
S04 Confinement Effects
S05 Non-Linear Effects
S06 Advancements in Terahertz Spectroscopy
S07 Industrial Applications
S08 Dielectric Spectroscopy Spatially Resolved at Micro- and Nanoscale
S09 Water and Hydrogen Bonded Systems, Application of BDS to Life Science
S10 Charge Transport, Relaxation and Interfacial Effects
