The properties of materials are strongly dependent on their nano- and microstructures. Lattice imperfections such as interfaces, surfaces, dislocations, intrinsic point defects and impurities/dopants, as well as the interactions between them, play a key role in determining the macroscopic properties of a material. With the aid of recent developments in advanced microscopy and computational techniques, structure-property relationships can be analyzed quantitatively on both the atomic and electronic scales. Such information leads to the rational design of new materials that are not only excellent in terms of performance but are also superior in terms of environmental protection and sustainable development. This symposium seeks to provide productive opportunities for participants from universities, industry and research institutes, including students, to learn about cutting-edge R&D, and to take part in the exchange of ideas and information. It is hoped that the symposium will lead to future innovations in this field.
The symposium covers all relevant fields in advanced microscopy and theoretical calculations:
- Interfaces and Grain Boundaries
- Electron Holography and Lorentz Microscopy
- Environmental TEM
- Modeling and Simulations
- AMTC2 Special Topic: Frontiers of Materials Science
