Fyzikální ústav Akademie věd ČR

The Seminar and School will provide an ideal forum for the presentations and discussions of recent developments and achievements in all theoretical and experimental aspects of preparation processes, characterization and applications of materials in bulk, thin film, nano-crystalline and glassy states.

The scientific sessions will cover the following topics of materials science:

1. Trends in development of materials research.
2. Education of materials science at the universities.
3. Information about the research programmes of individual institution

Topics: Repetition-rate X-ray sources with PW pulses; Plasma physics with high-intensity pulses; Biomolecular and medical applications with rep-rate X-ray sources and accelerated particle sources; Electron and proton acceleration, applications; Compact laser-generated-electron injected FEL; Laboratory astrophysics; Quantum dynamics in intense laser fields.

While maintaining the traditional scientific topics of the ESOMAT series in focus, in particular the theoretical and experimental research of materials with martensitic transformation (MT), the scientific program of the ESOMAT 2009 conference is organized in groups: A (basic research) and B (applied research). Mathematical modelling (A.2) and recent developments engineering applications (B.3) appear as individual topics within the program to attract researchers working in these directions in the ESOMAT community. The actual conference program may yet slightly change.
