Unraveling the mysteries of faculty applications (in the US)

Date: Nov 29, 2016
Time: 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Dr. Michael Titus
Humboldt research fellow at the MPIE
Location: Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH
Room: Seminar Room 1
Host: PhD representatives
Contact: phdstudents-owners@mpie.de

The application process for tenure-track university faculty positions in the US is often opaque and unclear. Job listings can be broad and vague and are sometimes difficult to find; clear guidelines for cover letters, research statements, and CVs are non-existent; interview formats vary drastically ...

Investigation of Nanostructural Materials by means of X-Ray Powder Diffraction

Date: Nov 16, 2016
Time: 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Dr. Oleg Prymak
Inorganic Chemistry and Center for Nanointegration Duisburg-Essen (CeNIDE) Facility for X-ray Diffraction at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany
Location: Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH
Room: Seminar Room 1
Host: Prof. Gerhard Dehm

Nanostructured materials represent a well-established part of nanoscience today due to their tunable electrical, optical, magnetic and catalytic properties, and their potential in nanomedicine. There are some common techniques used for the investigation of nanomaterials, e.g. light scattering (DLS ... [more]

Predicting solute segregation kinetics and properties in binary alloys from a dynamical variational gaussian model

Date: Nov 9, 2016
Time: 02:00 PM c.t. - 03:30 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Prof. Chad Sinclair
The University of British Columbia, Canada
Location: Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH
Room: Seminarraum 1
Host: Prof. Dierk Raabe

The thermodynamics and kinetics of solute segregation in crystals is important for controlling microstructure and properties. Prime examples are the effects of solute drag on interface migration and of static strain aging on the yield stress. A fully quantitative prediction of solute segregation is ... [more]

Microstructures and Mechanical Behavior of FeNiMnAl(Cr) Alloys

Date: Oct 6, 2016
Time: 04:30 PM - 05:30 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Prof. Ian Baker
Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, USA
Location: Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH
Room: Seminar Room 1
Host: on invitation of Dr. Baptiste Gault / Prof. Raabe
Contact: stein@mpie.de

FeNiMnAl alloys show a wide range of microstructures and mechanical properties, but have been little explored. Studies on four different types of microstructures in this alloy system will beoutlined: 1) ultrafine microstructures (5-50 nm), present in Fe₃₀Ni₂₀Mn₂₀Al₃₀,Fe₂₅Ni₂₅Mn₂₀Al₃₀ and Fe₃₅Ni₁₅Mn₂ ... [more]
