Today, 25th july, Profs. Saber and Ainane were in Madrid for a short visit.
We have put on the table the works that we are doing in the NATO frame. In the meeting were present: Saber and Ainane from Mekness, and V.Bermúdez and E.Diéguez from Madrid.
Here are our discussions:
 
 
1.Madrid is growing (Ba,Sr)5Nb5O15 crsytals with perouskite structure. NO publication in this moment. The setup and growing conditions are being developed.
 
2.Madrid is wating from results from Elaatmani, about the best CERAMIC compositions, in order to carry out the growth of crsytals, to take the final decision. The objective would be to growth the ceramic as crystal.
In this case, the structure will have the bronze-twngstene structure
 
3.Mekness and Amiens have finished -or nearly published- a paper/s about the modelling in ferroelectrics, magnetic and electrical properties.
 
We remenber to include in the ACKNOWLEDGMENT  the reference to our NATO project.
We require the copy or each paper after being accepted, to go deeper in our collaboration
 
 
4.Madrid is planning the following visits:
a)Verónica Bermúdez will visit Marrakech next 2005
