Zusammenfassung: Ursprünglich verstand man unter „selbstreinigenden Oberflächen“ hauptsächlich Oberflächen, deren Hydrophobie und Nanostruktur dazu führten, dass (Regen-)Wasser Verschmutzungen leicht abwaschen konnte. Inzwischen sind jedoch neue Produkte auf dem Markt, die mit Titandioxid-Nanopartikeln beschichtet sind. Diese Partikel sind photokatalytisch aktiv; das heißt, Verschmutzungen werden nicht nur mechanisch abgespült, sondern durch UV-Strahlung chemisch zersetzt. Aber auch andere biomi-metische Anwendungen werden untersucht, z. B. Oberflächen, die sich an fleischfressenden Kannenpflanzen orientieren und Insekten keinen Halt bieten. Prof. Dr. Christoph Neinhuis von der TU Dresden zeigt in seinem Vortrag die Grenzen und Möglich-keiten der technischen Umsetzung biomimetischer Oberflächen auf. Über selbstreinigende Oberflächen in der Werkstoffentwicklung berichtet Dr. Frank Groß, NANO-X GmbH, Saarbrücken. Ein Verbraucherprodukt stellt Dr. Rüdiger Grau von der Erlus AG in Neufahrn vor: Er informiert über selbstreinigende Oberflächen von Dachziegeln. Schließlich eröffnet Dr. Lothar Elfenthal von der KRONOS INTERNATIONAL, Inc. in Leverkusen einen Ausblick auf die nächste Generation selbstreinigender Oberflächen. Das Kolloquium wird von Prof. Dr. Detlef Bahnemann von der Universität Hannover moderiert.

Zusammenfassung: Material Science research is always radiating complexity though contributing to make involved streams rich as subject and bringing changes in lifestyle of society. Materials by class are prone to keep their characteristics as secret which prescribes an approach to inter and multidisciplinary research.

Energy technologies, Defense, Space, Industry all such sectors are constantly searching for materials with longer lifetimes and of more tolerance to radiation and research is encouraged to meet this goal. An additional protocol is to be pursued to grow body of data on the behavior of materials under specified conditions. The whole scenario underlines the necessity of understanding material properties with great precision. How far the frontier experimental state-of art facilities and computational resources can bring paradigm shift in precision measurement of materials is an issue needs to be addressed. Few outstanding scientists whose exceptionally creative works open up new frontiers in material research will discuss selected topics of material science in the ambiance of “SANTINIKETAN” and in the backdrop of a recently developed research laboratory with state - of - art facilities to enlighten the august audience about options of employing probes and material treatments to make further progress in material research.

Zusammenfassung: This conference will be devoted to the rapidly progressing science and technology of graphene (atomically thin graphitic films): advances in its growth and manufacturing graphene-based devices, investigation of physical properties of graphene using a broad range of characterization methods, and emerging applications of this new material. Topical sessions will address graphene synthesis and its ARPES and STM studies; manufacturing of graphene p-n junctions, nanoribbons and quantum dots and their transport studies, heat transfer in graphene-based structures and hybrid circuits; optical properties of graphene and its applications in optoelectronics.

Zusammenfassung: The last five years have seen significant progress in applying the methods of integrable systems to the cutting-edge problems of statistical physics. Remarkably, quite similar mathematical ideas have surfaced in different fields of theoretical physics such as the exact theory of nonlinear replica sigma models in the random-matrix-theory (RMT) limit, non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum systems, integrable theory of universal quantum transport in chaotic structures, various models of growth processes, and more.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together active researchers from several field of mathematical and theoretical physics where the integrability constitutes either a central paradigm or an important calculational tool. Not less importantly, we also wish to encourage a dialogue between experienced practitioners of the theory of integrable hierarchies and the physicists of seemingly far-apart disciplines whose research may potentially benefit from the fruitful ideas of integrability.

The workshop topics include (but not restricted to) (i) Mathematical theory of integrability for physicists; (ii) Integrability of replica field theories in the RMT limit; (iii) Nonhermitean random matrices, growth processes, and integrable systems; (iv) Heuristic replica applications in RMT and beyond; (v) Novel field-theoretic approaches in RMT and mesoscopics.

Zusammenfassung: The goals of the Workshop are to expose the modern topics relating to the deposition of high energy density nanosecond, picosecond, and femtosecond laser pulses into the target surface with subsequent effects of ablation, plasma formation and fluid dynamics.

Zusammenfassung: Nowadays the importance of contact and surface problems in many technological fields is well understood. They are complex and inherently non-linear due to the moving boundary and the different properties of materials, particularly along the contact surfaces. Structural components fail by wear, corrosion, high cycle fatigue etc, that is to say they are affected and initiated by surface conditions. The use of surface treatments can reduce the cost of components and extend the life of the elements for surfaces undergoing contact, a problem that will be specifically addressed by the Conference.

Zusammenfassung: The objective of this conference is to bring together researchers who use computational methods, those who perform experiments, and of course those who do both, in all areas of materials characterisation, to discuss their recent results and ideas, in order to foster the multidisciplinary approach that has become necessary for the study of complex phenomena. Topics of interest for this Conference range from generic characterisation methods to damage assessment and application to particular materials.

Zusammenfassung: The AIOM 2009 Topical Meeting will bring together international experts and researchers to review and discuss the advances in optics, materials science, condensed matter physics and chemistry relevant to the development of new optical materials. The development of new optical materials has been the key factor in the birth of new technology.

Zusammenfassung: Developments in techniques for characterizing surface structures on a continuously decreasing scale seem not to have lost their pace, even after five decades of intense activity. About 25 years ago, it was felt that organizing a conference in this field would help meet the increasing need for scientific exchange. This resulted in the first ECASIA conference, held in Veldhoven in the Netherlands in 1985. The ECASIA biannual conferences (www.ecasia.org) since then have been aimed at and intended for those using surface analytical, surface specific or surface sensitive techniques for applied purposes. In general, the applications will arise from industrial and technological problems with special consideration of developments of more useful and functional materials and techniques.

The ECASIA conferences have covered all relevant developments in the field in the past twenty-five years, during which the spectrum of the subfields of interests has broadened significantly. In accordance with the tradition, the scientific programme of the ECASIA´09 will reflect these developments, both with respect to the invited lecturers as well as the contributed papers. Presentation of state-of-the-art equipment for surface analysis as well as corresponding accessories will take place in the exhibition during ECASIA'09.

It is to be expected that the meeting will provide an excellent platform for an exchange between scientists from industry, academia, government and suppliers of equipment for surface analysis. The social programme will also be rich since October for Antalya is special, free of the summer heat and the crowd, but still pleasant enough even for swimming.

Zusammenfassung: The Annual Meeting of The Society of Rheology is held in mid-October. The meetings ordinarily last three to four days and are open to both members and non-members.
