The Department of Interface Chemistry and Surface Engineering (GO) is mainly focussing on corrosion and electrochemical energy conversion. It is internationally known to be one of the leading groups in the field of electrochemical sciences. Our mission is to combine both fundamental and applied sciences to tackle key-questions for a progress…
Plasticity, fatigue, and fracture of materials arise from localized deformation processes, which can be altered by the materials’ environment. Unravelling these mechanisms at variable temperatures and different atmospheres (like hydrogen), are essential to enhance mechanical performance and lifespan. This requires to understand the microstructure and its evolution down to the atomic level. The department is dedicated to crafting materials with superior mechanical properties by elucidating deformation mechanisms. This involves employing advanced transmission electron microscopy techniques and conducting nano-/micromechanical tests on complex, micro-architectured and/or miniaturized materials.
The department ‘Microstructure Physics and Alloy Design’ investigates the fundamentals of the relations between synthesis, microstructure and properties of often complex nanostructured materials. The focus lies on metallic alloys such as aluminium, titanium, steels, high and medium entropy alloys, superalloys, magnesium, magnetic and thermoelectric…
The mission of the Department Computational Materials Design (CM) is to develop and apply multi-scale computational methods that bridge the quantum mechanical foundations of matter with real-world materials discovery.
