Upcoming Workshops

The phase field method is a compact and elegant tool for the numerical modeling of problems involving moving boundaries. In recent years, it has been applied to a large varity of subjects, including microstructure evolution in materials. more

The Ringberg Unary Workshop 2013 is devoted to the thermodynamic properties of unaries, forming the fundamental unit for the thermodynamic modeling of materials. There is a need to synchronize the ongoing research in this field, in order to obtain a generally accepted reference for Calphad modeling of alloys.

The aim of the seminar was to bring together distinguished experts in ab-initio calculations and thermodynamic/kinetic modeling of metals and steels. In particular, the meeting has been used to discuss recent progress in the accurate and efficient modeling of finite-temperature properties/processes and phase transitions. It was the fourth workshop in a series of international meetings devoted to the ab initio description of iron and steel (ADIS). more

Our three-day workshop "Modern developments in the ab initio description of charged systems for semiconductors and electrochemistry" took place October 23-26, 2011 at Ringberg Castle (Tegernsee, Germany). The aim of the workshop was  to bring together distinguished experts in ab-initio/atomistic simulations in solid state defects and electrochemistry. more

The aim of the seminar was to bring together distinguished experts in ab-initio calculations and thermodynamic/kinetic modeling of metals and steels. In particular, the meeting was focused on recent developments in simulating their mechanical properties, including phase stabilities, energetics/dynamics of extended defects, failure mechanisms as well as multi-scale approaches. more
