DPG Meeting of the Condensed Matter Section (Regensburg2025)
The DPG Meeting of the Condensed Matter Section in Regensburg (March 16-21, 2025) will feature a program by the Metal and Material Physics Division (MM), covering key topics in computational methods, data-driven materials science, energy storage materials, hydrogen in materials, functional materials, phase transformations, nanomaterials, liquid and amorphous materials, mechanical properties, transport properties, complex alloys, and additive manufacturing.
AMT – Technischer Vertrieb welcomes visitors at DPG spring meeting in the tent at stand 04 as a partner of Vac Coat Ltd. in Germany. Vac Coat offers high-quality vacuum coating systems, such as sputter coaters, carbon coaters, thermal evaporators, and pulsed laser deposition systems that empower innovation of new structures and enable precise characterization techniques.
The meeting includes two topical sessions:
Defects of Defects
- Focuses on internal interfaces in crystalline solids, such as grain and phase boundaries.
- Discusses experimental and theoretical advances in atomic-scale defect characterization, including disconnections, steps, and phase junctions.
- Examines how these defects influence segregation, migration, precipitation, diffusion, and overall material properties.
Thermo-physical Properties of Bulk Metallic Glasses and Glass-Forming Liquids
- Investigates the thermodynamics and kinetics of metallic glass formation.
- Highlights recent discoveries in multicomponent compositions that allow detailed study of glass transitions and super-cooled liquid states.
- Discusses novel methodologies such as chip-calorimetry, electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and neutron scattering.
Also, a symposium on AI-driven Materials Design will be held in parallel to explore revolutionizing material discovery and optimization through AI and machine learning, reviewing recent advances in predicting material properties and optimizing manufacturing, and integrating AI with experimental/theoretical approaches.
