Visualization for Computational Material Science (in particular Ferroelectric and Polarization Domains in Barium Titanate)

The SciVis Contest 2012 targets the field of computational material science, in particular, atomic configurations. The goal is to devise a visualization that allows for exploring the phase transitions of a particular ferroelectric material when decreasing the temperature gradually.

DATA SETS

The data sets contains 500 timesteps x 625000 atoms. The data are provided by Dr. Stefano Leoni, Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, Dresden, Germany. Visit this contest page for details.

PRIZES AND INCENTIVES

The winning team will receive: one free full registration for the VisWeek 2012 conference, a 10 minute slot during the award ceremony in the plenary session, an award certificate for each member of the winning team, and the opportunity to present the work at the poster session.

CONTEST CHAIRS

Chair: Gabriel Zachmann, University of Bremen, Germany
