This international workshop is intended to foster the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas between researchers in engineering, physics and chemistry on microstructural dynamics. The topic of MiFuN is the time dependence of structural features at the nanoscale, a recent research development that is expected to have a strong impact on nanoscience and technology. Mechanisms for microstructural evolution range from the formation of defects, their transport, growth and transformation, to segregation, sintering and cooperative mechanisms including the controlled manipulation of grain boundaries and other microstructural elements in nanocrystalline materials. These mechanisms can lead to novel dynamic functionality, such as resistive switching or self-healing and are also determining the lifetime of nanostructured devices. In 2017 the focus will be placed on mechanisms in inorganic 1D and 2D systems.
