The National Seminar on Ferroelectrics and Dielectrics (NSFD), a biennial conference, has completed a remarkable 43-year journey since its inception in 1980 at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. Initiated by the Dielectrics and Ferroelectrics group in India, NSFD has grown from its modest beginnings to become a pivotal event in the field. Dielectrics, a class of materials encompassing polar materials such as piezoelectrics, pyroelectrics, and ferroelectrics, play crucial roles in modern technology. They are integral to applications in data storage, energy harvesting, wireless communications, and more. This symposium will showcase the latest advancements in materials pivotal to a wide range of related technologies. It aims to gather experts from diverse disciplines, providing a comprehensive platform to discuss materials and devices relevant to the field. Special tutorial sessions will be tailored for young researchers and initiators, offering foundational research insights and fostering collaboration. NSFD continues to be a beacon for the scientific community, driving innovation and collaboration in the ever-evolving realm of ferroelectrics and dielectrics.
