Dear colleagues,

we would like to remind you of our symposium at the meeting of the German Physical Society, March 19-24 2017, in Dresden

Interface-Controlled Microstructures:
Mechanical Properties and Mechano-Chemical Coupling

Confirmed invited and topical speakers are
• David Srolovitz, University of Pennsylvania
• Nadiia Mameka, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht
• Erik Bitzek, Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg
• Petr Šesták, Brno University of Technology
• Stefan Zaefferer, MPI-E Düsseldorf

We will discuss the state of the art in experiment, modeling and theory of interfacial properties, e.g. concerning

• Chemo-mechanical coupling at interfaces and in materials functionalization schemes
• Segregation and embrittlement
• Local deformation at interfaces and the conjugated interfacial stresses
• Dislocation interaction with interfaces, size effects
• Crack initiation and propagation at interfaces, grain boundary engineering

For more information please have a look at the attached flyer!

Abstracts can be submitted via the website of the DPG until December 1st

 Please look for the symposium as part of the Subsection “Metal and Material Physics”

We hope to see you in 2017,

the symposium organizers
