29th Risø International Symposium on Materials Science: Energy Materials -Advances in Characterization, Modelling and Application

Theme
Energy-related topics are central in the modern world and energy research programmes cover the range from basic research to applications and structural length scales from micro to macro. Materials research and development is a central part of the energy area as break-throughs in many technologies depend on a successful development and validation of new or advanced materials.
The Materials Research Department at Risø DTU - National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy concentrates on energy problems combining basic and applied materials research. At present four strands are central:

  • Wind
  • Fusion
  • Superconductors
  • Hydrogen


These strands will be the bases of the symposium which will focus on characterisation of materials for energy applying neutron, X-ray and electron radiation. Of special interest is research carried out at large facilities such as reactors and synchrotrons, supplemented by other techniques:

  • X-ray synchrotron radiation
  • Neutron scattering
  • Electron microscopy
  • Positron annihilation spectroscopy


Modelling on different length scales that underpins experiments, is also within the scope of the symposium. Finally, with the focus on characterisation techniques the application of such techniques to other strands than the four mentioned are also included. Examples are materials in the areas of power generation and transmission and materials optimization to save energy and weight e.g. in the transport sector.
