The focus of ICEAM2017 will be on Nanoelectronic Materials, Photonic and Optical Materials, Catalytic Materials and Lightweight Materials which are closely linked to EAM’s methodological cross-sectional topics, Functional Particle Systems, Nanoanalysis and Microscopy, and Multiscale Modeling and Simulation.
Nanoelectronic Materials
- Thin films (structure, simulation and characterization)
- Interfaces (formation, characterization and simulation)
- New materials for electronics (structure and properties)
- New approaches in photovoltaics
- Chemistry at the solid / liquid interface including nanosafety
Photonic and Optical Materials
- Photonic and optical materials (structure formation and characterization)
- Photonic and optical materials (simulation and numerical optimization)
- Photonics at the interface of materials and medicine
- Self-organization of ordered and disordered systems for photonics
Catalytic Materials
- Liquid film catalysis – SILP and SCILL
- Hydrogenation / dehydrogenation catalysis
- Catalytic materials (processing and modeling)
- Characterization of catalytic materials and interfaces
- In situ microscopy and scattering studies of nanoparticulate systems
- Optimization of catalytic reactors
- Particle based fluid mechanics
Lightweight Materials
- Additive manufacturing of functional components
- Architectured materials: processing, interface design, structure formation and properties
- 2D and 3D structural characterization and nanomechanics of architectured and porous materials
- Multiscale modeling of failure, fracture and fragmentation of architectured materials
Cross-sectional topics closely interlinked with the four material classes of ICEAM2017
- Functional Particle Systems
- Nanoanalysis and Microscopy
- Multiscale Modeling and Simulation
