Research areas

Dynamics of structural transformations in bulk and nano-structured intermetallics: Study of the time evolution of atomic configuration and microstructures by analysing elementary atomic-migration processes.

  • Experimental studies: subtle structural relaxation phenomena in superalloys (Ni3Al, NiAl, FePt etc.)
  • Computer simulations: correlated elementary atomic-jumps in superstructures; Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics involving „ab-initio” calculations


Equipment

  • Automated and digitally controlled set-ups for high resolution "in-situ" and residual resistometry
  • X-ray diffractometer with surface diffraction set-up
  • Metallographic high-temperature microscope
  • Access to electron microscopes (TEM, SEM)
  • Highly efficient computing facilities (work stations, PC cluster)
