Symposium V:
Structures and Properties of Metastable Materials
Metastable materials or materials containing metastable phases represent one of the most exciting research area in materials science in the last 20 years. The interest is associated with a new range of properties which has been observed in metallic glasses and in different types of nanometer scale materials, such as, nanostructured systems and systems containing nanocrystalline, quasicrystalline and other metastable phases.
The main objective of this symposium is to address the recent development in the synthesis, structural characterization and properties of metastable materials. The materials to be covered include all types of metastable materials, such as the amorphous metals (metallic glasses) and the different types of nanometer scale materials, as for example nanostructured systems and systems containing nanocrystalline, quasicrystalline and other metastable phases. The types of materials range from the nanosized powders, thin films, bulk alloys and nanocomposites and the aspects to be addressed include synthesis and processing, thermal stability, structural characterization, properties evaluation, theoretical modeling and applications. The sessions will include Invited Talks from internationally distinguished scientists as well as contributions.
The following areas represent the main focus of the symposium:
- (a) Synthesis & Processing (Rapid solidification, Mechanical alloying, Phase transformations)
- (b) Theoretical modeling,
- (c) Structural characterization,
- (d) Materials (Bulk metallic glasses and composites, Nanoparticles, Nanostructured alloys, Quasicrystals, Thin films and Coatings);
- (e) Properties and application (Magnetic properties, Mechanical properties, Chemical properties, Hydrogen in metastable alloys, Physical properties, Applications).
Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:
- Bulk metallic glasses
