6th International School on Aperiodic Crystals
September 1– 5, 2025
The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids is pleased to host the 6th International School on Aperiodic Crystals (1 – 5 September 2025). The 6th International School on Aperiodic Crystals is a Satellite Meeting to the 35th European Crystallographic Meeting in Lviv and Poznan. The meeting has a broad scope, spanning topics from fundamental to applied research:
- Introduction to aperiodic crystals
- Superspace symmetry and superspace embedding
- Modulation functions
- Structure solution and refinement of modulated crystals
- Diffuse scattering
- Electronic and physical properties of aperiodic crystals
- Dynamics and phasons in aperiodic crystals
- Complex intermetallics
- High entropy alloys
- Quasicrystals
- Incommensurate magnetic structures
There will be a poster session and every participant is invited to bring their own complex and/or periodic structure.
