Topics:
- Synthesis and characterization of solid compounds of d– or f -elements
- Thermodynamics, phase equilibria, phase transitions
- Metastable, amorphous, and nanostructured materials
- Cooperative and topological phenomena (magnetism, ferroelectricity, electrical transport including superconductivity, charge density waves, strongly correlated systems, quantum criticality, spectroscopy)
- Theory (chemical bonding, electronic structure, phonons, machine learning)
- Energy (hydrogen production and storage, fuel cells, thermoelectrics, magnetocalorics, catalysis)
- Applications (production, recycling and other industrial processes, nuclear fuel and waste issues)
