Dear colleagues,

the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (MPIE) is pleased to announce a workshop on

High Electric Fields in Electrochemistry and in Atom Probe Tomography

taking place from March 29th to April 1st at Ringberg Castle, beautifully located in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, Germany. Electric fields significantly alter bond-making and bond-breaking at the atomic scale if they reach 10^9V/m or more. Yet, at the atomic scale, such gigantic fields do build up across surfaces or interfaces. The purpose of the envisioned three-day workshop is to bring together leading scientists from the areas of atom probe tomography, field-ion microscopy and electrochemistry, to discuss possibilities, requirements, and challenges for the effective modelling of electric fields at interfaces. Our established format of one hour long tutorial-style presentations by the invited speakers followed by 20 minutes question-time will allow for ample time to discuss the various approaches, the diverse aspects of an electrolyte and the practicalities of simulation approaches. All participants will have the possibility to present their current research in short talks or during a poster session.

We look forward to seeing you in Ringberg.

On behalf of the organizers,

Stefan Wippermann
