Workshop on Dynamics in Quasicrystals

Duisburg, Germany 04.12.01 to 07.12.01


There will be a Workshop on Dynamics in Quasicrystals in Duisburg at the Gerhard-Mercator-Haus of the University of Duisburg. Our intention is to unite both experimentalists and theoreticians in a synergistic discussion on the different aspects of the dynamics of quasicrystals. Equal emphasis will be laid on the two main directions:

  • Lattice dynamics, including thermal properties and relationship to phase stability.
  • Atomic dynamics, including phason jumps, vacancies, atomic diffusion.
Our aim is to take stock on where we are and what where we want to go concerning these questions. Especially important for us is to encourage co-operation between different groups working in this field (especially but not exclusively within the DFG Focus Programme an Quasicrystals) during and after this workshop.

We are planning of a workshop of 20 to 25 participants. Efforts will be made to encourage European participation (especially the former GDR-5). Financial support will be limited to members of the SPQK and some invited speakers. However, others are encouraged to participate as well.
