Corrosion Under Control? From Mechanisms to Sustainable Applications

New Kinds of Electronic Order in Quantum Materials

Fundamentals of Organic and Inorganic Semiconductors and Their Integration in Hybrid Electronic and Photonic Devices

Catalysis - From Theory to Commercialization

The conference will include invited talks and contributed poster presentations covering the following topics:Â

• High temperature thermal analysis and calorimetry
• In situ high temperature X-ray and neutron diffraction
• High temperature thermodynamic properties from mass spectrometry and other equilibrium experiments
• Radiation thermometry
• Experimental determination of phase diagrams
• First principles computations of structural and thermodynamic properties at high temperatures

The aims of the conference are to disseminate information on experimental and computational methods suitable for structural and thermodynamic studies of oxides at temperatures above 1500°C, to promote collaboration between research groups in the field, and to delineate bottleneck experimental and computational issues to focus on in future research.

STOHT Conference: October 21-22, 2016

The Bombannes summer school is devoted to the practical «state-of-art» approach to scattering methods, using neutrons, as well as X-ray and light sources - today’s key techniques to study structure and dynamics in systems containing colloids, polymers, surfactants and biological macromolecules.

Since 1990 the Bombannes school series introduces, on a fundamental level, the current methodology of static and dynamic scattering techniques and their applicaiton to soft matter systems. It provides with a period of 2 years advanced training for young researchers with a working place in European laboratories at post-graduate and post-doctoral level.
