Priority Program 1415 – crystalline non-equilibrium phases
• Working Groups: 19 groups (19 PIs) at universities and non-university research
institutions in Aachen, Bayreuth, Berlin, Bonn, Braunschweig, Chemnitz, Darmstadt,
Dresden, Erlangen-Nürnberg, Gießen, Hamburg, Hannover, Kiel, Mainz, Marburg,
Münster, Munich, Paderborn, Regensburg
• Projects: At least two groups working in one project
• About 60 PhD students and Postdocs.
Coordinators: Wolfgang Bensch (Kiel), Josef Breu (Bayreuth)
• People: Colleagues from Chemistry, Physics, Theory, Material Science, Mineralogy
Priority Program 1415 – crystalline non-equilibrium phases
• Aims: Synthesis of crystalline non-equilibrium phases
Investigation of formation under real conditions using in-situ methods
Development of in-situ techniques, theory and synthesis methods
• Starting point: Bundle expertises in a coordinated program: synthesis techniques,
modelling, simulation, theory, structure prediction, in-situ techniques,
physical properties
Coordinators: Wolfgang Bensch (Kiel), Josef Breu (Bayreuth)
• Problem(s): Crystalline solids and especially metastable crystalline compounds
are mainly obtained by „trial and error“ chemistry!
Reason: mechanisms of formation are not known
• Compounds: Organic solids, inorganic solids with dimensions larger than 100 nm in
one direction
Examples: spinels, oxonitrides, Bi-oxo-clusters, antimonides, chalcogenides,
carbonates etc.
Priority Program 1415 – crystalline non-equilibrium phases
Contact:
Priority Program 1415 – crystalline non-equilibrium phases
Activities:
Workshops on methods, theory and synthesis techniques, special symposia
Exchange of expertises, training of young scientists, research stays in other
research groups
Next workshops:
• Spring 2014: Kinetic and thermodynamic aspects of solid state synthesis
• Fall 2014: Synthesis of metastable compounds
