WORKSHOP
ON
THERMODYNAMIC AND STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS
Sunday September 9 - Friday September 14, 2001
Palais des Papes Avignon France.
Conference Scope:
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together theorists and
experimentalists who work on modeling and characterization of materials
properties at various length and time scales. The objective is to bring
together an international group of academic and industrial experts to
assess the current state of the art in the following topics:
- ab-initio and semi-empirical methods for modeling the energetics of
phase transitions at the atomistic scale:
- Chemical order/disorder;
- Phonon driven structural ordering, e.g. ferroelectrics
- Systems in which chemical- and phonon-driven ordering are coupled
- Extended defects (dislocations, grain boundaries, interfaces...);
- Surfaces;
- Applications: phase stability, phase diagrams...
- methods for coupling atomistic and mesoscopic space scales;
- phase transformation and structural evolution in alloys:
- Phase separation, ordering, grain growth...;
- Pattern formation;
- Computational methods: Phase Field, Monte Carlo with elastic relaxation
- Role of defects (dislocations, grain boundaries, interfaces...)
- Link with macroscopic properties;
