Microscopy Conference 2023

Alteration of Illite by Bad Nauheimer and Gerolsteiner Brine: implications on fluid permeability in geothermal projects

MS 6: Geoscience and construction materials, cultural heritage

In this session, we invite contributions across a variety of disciplines, from all areas of geosciences, such as environmental pollution redemption to ore deposits and deep earth, planetary or extraterrestrial samples over construction materials such as cement and concrete to the study of objects of cultural heritage. We hope to connect these very diverse but highly innovative and exiting research areas by focusing the discussions on our common interest on processes on the nm-scale, particularly where interfaces are involved, from mineralization, crystallization to nucleation, growth, diffusion, deformation and phase transformations.

This session provides a forum to present and discuss recent research and development activities on amorphous as well as crystalline matter. The session will cover the wide field of microstructure-based development of materials, covering aspects of basic materials research and detailed material characterization, in particular, via electron microscopy and correlated techniques.
World experts are encouraged to present their recent research activities on ceramics and composites, aiming to stimulate interesting interdisciplinary discussions and lasting collaborations.
The anticipated topics include novel glass-based materials and glass-ceramics for various applications, nanomaterials utilized in photovoltaics, electroceramics, or multiferroics as well as ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) for the use in extreme environments.
Advances in understanding structure-property-processing correlations as well as performance of such materials, giving the possibility to tailor and control material properties via microstructural modification, are the main focus of this session.
