Title: *High throughput search of new ferroelectric phenomena and 
mechanisms*

Abstracts:
Ferroelectric materials display a spontaneous and switchable electrical 
polarization with diverse technological applications. In this talk, I'll 
show current work to use chemical arguments, group theory, materials 
databases, and first principles calculations to perform high throughput 
searches of ferroelectrics with functional properties for information 
storage and solar energy conversion. We use the concept of ferroelectric 
mechanism to extent the Materials Project database and search for new 
ferromagnetic ferroelectrics and small band gap ferroelectrics. In 
addition, I'll discuss projects involving the use of point defects to 
develop new ferroelectric phenomena.  This project is supported by ANID 
Fondecyt Regular grant number 1220986.
