Developed within the investigation areas ‘Spectroscopy” and “X-ray Diffraction”, the workshop intents to connect researchers working on the topic “Functional Oxides”, and provide different perspectives ranging from synthesis and characterization to the applications of such materials.
In this workshop, scientists from different research institutions will share their research with a multidisciplinary audience. The event will offer:
- An overview lecture about investigations of model catalysts
- Invited talks by experts from different research fields
- Guided visits through the laboratories present at the University of Bremen/MAPEX-CF
Aims and scope
A large variety of oxides can be considered functional materials, while their vast potential applications can have a profound impact on society. The workshop will cover hot topics such as
- Synthesis of nanoparticle oxides
- Thin-film and single-crystal growth
- Structure-property relationships
- Advanced characterization techniques
- Theoretical and experimental combined approaches for structure determination
Format
The workshop will take place in person at the University of Bremen campus. Participants will also be able to follow the talks via Zoom. A social gathering will close the first day of the event while on the second day a guided laboratory tour will take place, where the participants will be able to see the state-of-the-art instrumentation available at the MAPEX-CF.
Registrations are closed!
