Size-Strain V

October 7-9, 2007, Conference Centre Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany

The 5th Size-Strain conference 'Diffraction Analysis of the Microstructure of Materials' (SS-V) is intended as a continuation of the successful series initiated in 1995 in Liptovsky Mikulas (Slovakia) and continued in 1998 in Freiberg (Germany), 2001 in Trento (Italy) and 2004 in Prague as a satellite workshop of the EPDIC9 Conference (Czech Republic).

The conference deals with materials microstructure and properties, as they can be studied by diffraction methods, with a special interest in the application of diffraction techniques to polycrystalline materials. In close relation with the previous Size-Strain conferences, SS-V focuses on methodologies for the study of lattice defects, residual stress and texture in thin films and surfaces, line-broadening analysis, line-profile fitting and modelling based on fundamental parameters for applications in materials science problems.

The local organizers are:

Prof. Dr Ir E.J. Mittemeijer
Dr A. Leineweber
Dr U. Welzel

Max Planck Institute for Metals Research, Stuttgart, Germany
