Conference and Workshops on the Properties of Quasicrystals; Iowa State University and/or Ames Laboratory; Ames, Iowa; August 19-23, 1996

[9623918] Thiel准晶体是一种结构，由于其潜在的技术重要性，例如耐磨、耐腐蚀、低摩擦涂层，最近成为一个重要的研究课题。然而，对决定这些令人兴奋的性质的表面界面现象的了解却很少。此外，块状材料的性质仍然难以捉摸。准晶体性质的会议和讲习班将于1996年8月19日至23日在爱荷华州立大学举行。会议将讨论(1)准晶体的现有和潜在应用，(2)准晶体的表面界面性质，以及(3)潜在的新准晶体材料。会议的目的是汇集来自法国和日本的顶尖科学家，并促进美国这一重要研究领域进一步发展所必需的国内和国际合作。准晶体是一种结构，由于其潜在的技术重要性，例如，作为耐磨、耐腐蚀、低摩擦涂层，最近成为一个重要的研究课题。然而，对决定这些令人兴奋的性质的表面界面现象的了解却很少。此外，块状材料的性质仍然难以捉摸。准晶体性质的会议和讲习班将于1996年8月19日至23日在爱荷华州立大学举行。会议将讨论(1)准晶体的现有和潜在应用，(2)准晶体的表面界面性质，以及(3)潜在的新准晶体材料。会议的目的是汇集来自法国和日本的顶尖科学家，并促进美国这一重要研究领域进一步发展所必需的国内和国际合作。＊＊＊

9623918 Thiel Quasicrystals are structures which have recently become an important topic of research because of their potential technological importance, for example, as wear-resistant, corrosion resistant, low friction coatings. However, little work is done to understand the surface interfacial phenomena that determine these exciting properties. In addition the properties of the bulk materials still remain elusive. A Conference and Workshops on the properties of quasicrystals will be held at Iowa State University, August 19-23 1996. The conference will discuss (1) existing and potential applications of quasicrystals, (2) surface interface properties of quasicrystals, and (3) potential new quasicrystalline materials. The objective of the conference is to bring leading scientists from France and Japan and stimulate national and international collaborations necessary for further growth of this important field of research in the US. %%% Quasicrystals are structures which have recently become an important topic of research because of their potential technological importance, for example, as wear-resistant, corrosion resistant, low friction coatings.
