The ICMCTF 2020 unfortunately has been canceled, due to the rapidly changing and unprecedented circumstances surrounding the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

PLATHINIUM aims to be an important biennial meeting covering low-temperature plasma physics, plasma processing and plasma applications. Plasmas from low to atmospheric pressure and plasmas in magnetic fields are included. Consequently, the range of applications is equally wide and covers traditional fields such as thin films and coatings in microelectronics, automotive, aeronautics industries, and expands to emerging fields such as plasmas, thin films and nanostructures used in environmental, energy, biomedical and agricultural applications.

CDL-SEC contributions:

• • Reactive HiPIMS deposition of Ti-Al-N: Influencing the Cubic to Wurtzite phase transition, L. Zauner (Poster)

     

This conference brings together people working in the field of nano- and micromechanical testing in materials research. The mechanical behavior of materials is typically controlled by processes that span several length and time scales. There has been a rapid expansion of available testing strategies in recent years to examine elastic, plastic, fracture and fatigue properties at multiple length scales, with control of loading mode, temperature and atmosphere, including imaging in real-time. This conference aims to bring together the research community working in the field of experimental mechanics, with a focus on nano- and micro-mechanical testing and a special emphasis on bridging observations across multiple length scales.

CDL-SEC contributions:

• • Influence of alloying elements on the mechanical properties, especially fracture toughness, of the WB2-z base system, R. Hahn (Poster)

The 2019 Spring Meeting of the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) was held from May 27 to 31, 2019, in Nice, France (Congress & Exhibition Centre Acropolis). It was the 37th of the series started in 1983. This event was organized in conjuction with the International Conference on Advanced Materials (ICAM) of the International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS). The scientific programme highlighted the latest advances in materials research at an international level, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research in both fundamental and applied areas.

CDL-SEC contributes :

• • Oxygen diffusion pathways in nano-laminated Ti‑Al‑N/Mo-Si-B multilayer coatings, E. Aschauer (Poster)

  • Influence of Ti on the phase stability of magnetron sputtered Mo-Si-B thin films, E. Aschauer (Talk)

  • Influence of Tantalum on the phase stability and mechanical properties of WB₂ thin films, C. Fuger (Talk)
