Microstructure Modeling

October 4-8, 2010, Freiburg Germany

The microstructure of a material represents the state variables of material properties. It comprises the spatial arrangement of structural elements, like crystal defects, functional domains, and chemical constitution. The microstructure is severely affected by materials processing. In magnetic microstructures, the complexity of the magnetization on various length scalestime scalesThe symposium will address in particular but not exclusively the physics and engineering of

  • Phase Transformations
  • Crystal Plasticity
  • Recovery, Recrystallization, Grain Growth
  • Through-Process Modeling
  • Microstructure Reconstruction
  • Large-scale micromagnetic simulations
  • Spin-torque driven magnetization dynamics
  • Ultrafast magnetization dynamics
  • Experimental Validation
  • Virtual Processing and Experimentation

Modeling approaches on all scales of length and time will be addressed, from ab-initio Experimental contributions to the addressed modeling topics are particularly welcome.
