Custom-made high-performance materials are revolutionizing the world of electronics, optics, catalysis and lightweight construction. In Erlangen, materials science innovation starts at the atomic level and influences the entire process chain to achieve macroscopically visible results. Video
The Cluster of Excellence Engineering of Advanced Materials – Hierarchical Structure Formation for Functional Devices (EAM) is the only interdisciplinary research collaboration of its type in Germany to focus on the investigation of functional materials and their processing at all length scales. Its research centers on the fundamental and applied aspects of designing and creating novel high-performance materials. Situated at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) it is part of the Excellence Initiative of the German federal and state governments.
The special symposium of “Correlative and in situ Microscopy in Materials Research”, held during 1-4.April as part of the DPG2019 (annual meeting of German Physical Society) in Regensburg, was a great success.
The four-day symposium was co-organized by EAM Member Prof. Dr. Erdmann Spiecker and D... Continue
Special culture of cooperation
EAM Member Prof. Dr. Jörg Libuda has been head of the new Chair of Interface Research and Catalysis at the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy since February 2019. However, Libuda, who is originally from Bochum, is not new to FAU as he has been working at the Univers... Continue
For the first time two in one
For the investigation of nanoparticles especially X-ray and neutron beams are used. FAU researchers around EAM Member Prof. Tobias Unruh, Institute for Crystallography and Structural Physics, have designed a special x-ray machine capable of studying nanoparticles in ... Continue
From the 29th of July to 1st of August 2019 the Institute for Crystallography and Structural Physics (ICSP) will host the 5th CENEM Summer School for X-ray Scattering. The school will provide a perfect opportunity to get a detailed insight into theory and practice of several modern scattering method... Continue
On March 4-8, 2019 collaborative researchers from Germany, Austria and Belgium came to Erlangen for the Second School on Atom Probe Tomography (APT). The school was led and organized by EAM Prof. Peter Felfer and Dr. Chandra Macauley of Institute 1: General Materials Properties (WW1) of the Material... Continue
