2nd Euroschool in Materials Science
20 May 2007 - 27 May 2007
Slovenia
The aim of the Euroschool is to provide a lecture-style background to students and graduate students in the field of materials, in particular the physics of metals and metallurgy. The Euroschool is intended to compensate for the declining lecturing activities in metals sciences. The approach is an integral one. The topics range from basic atomistic physics to industrial processing. Lecturers have been invited from academia, research and industry. The Euroschool will provide tutorial and advanced lectures of the school-type and will not contain conference-style elements.
The Euroschool is one of the integrational activities of the EU Network of Excellence "Complex Metallic Alloys" (CMA) within the FP6 Priority 3 NANOSCIENCES - MATERIALS – PROCESSES. More info about the NoE-CMA is available at http://www.cma-ecnoe.org(opens in new window)
The Euroschool consists of three types of lectures. Basic tutorials will offer the elements of materials science, with an emphasis on a particular topic selected as a priority for a particular Euroschool. Advanced tutorials will complement and upgrade basic tutorials on selected topics. Special invited lectures will be given by scientists with the highest reputation who – as legendary figures – will offer interesting and challenging presentations to the Euroschool’s students. Basic tutorials (BTs) must be easy to comprehend and will be at the level of undergraduate teaching (e.g. in master courses) at universities. The purpose is to provide basic knowledge in the field and to motivate students. Advanced tutorials (ATs) will augment the teaching in the BTs and will offer additional topics. Here, the contributions of people from industry will be included. There will also be one or two Special invited lectures (SILs).

2. Hydrogen-storage materials (Andreas Zuettel, Fribourg)
3. Magnetism of complex metallic alloys (Ernst Bauer, Vienna)
4. Thermal conductivity of complex metallic alloys (Ana Smontara, Zagreb)
5. Complex metallic alloys versus quasicrystals (Ryuji Tamura, Tokyo)
6. Design, discovery, growth and physical properties of novel intermetallic compounds (Paul C. Canfield, Ames)
Advanced tutorials and lecturers:
