In conjunction with the symposium:
The Didier de Fontaine Symposium on the Thermodynamics of Alloys
Date: Monday, March 15, 2004
Time: 6:00PM - 9:30PM
Location: Westin Charlotte Hotel
Room: Independence Room
Sponsored by: MPMD Computational Materials & Engineering
(Jt. ASM-MSCTS)
Honoring the seminal contributions of Didier de Fontaine to the
theory of alloys over the last 40 years. His many contributions
are in the areas of crystallography, ordering reactions, and phase
separation; using various techniques for the calculation of phase
equilibria by combined first principles electronic band structure and
statistical mechanical methods. The symposium will address basic
issues of thermodynamic equilibrium in alloys that have been the
center of Professor De Fontaine’s career. Topics and techniques
of relevance include: Cluster expansion techniques as well as first
principles atomistic techniques for the calculation of equilibrium
structures and ordering phenomena in alloys, and the application
of advanced X-Ray/neutron scattering and electron-microscopy
methods in studies of alloy phase transformations.
Dinner tickets are $60 and may be purchased at the TMS
Registration desk. Tickets will NOT be sold at the door.
