Atomic-Scale Characterisation

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Tong Li

The focus of my research group is the characterization of catalyst materials using atom probe tomography (APT) in conjunction with electron microscopy techniques. The combined chemical and structural information can help understand the mechanisms of catalyst materials and guide the design to achieve optimal activity and stability.

Materials Discovery and Interfaces

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alfred Ludwig

At the Chair Materials Discovery and Interfaces (MDI), new multifunctional materials for miniaturized technical products are developed using the methods of combinatorial materials research. For this purpose, material libraries are produced with special coating processes and characterized with automated high-throughput methods.

To the unit

Materials Testing

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Pohl

Materials testing includes the determination of the chemical composition, the examination of the material structure with light, electron and X-rays, the determination of material characteristics for the assessment of processing and service properties by mechanical, chemical and tribological testing, taking into account time, temperature and environmental influences.

Materials Technology

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Weber

The research focus of the Chair of Materials Engineering is on the development and optimization of materials and components with a view to concrete industrial applications. The fundamental relationship between the microstructure of the material and the resulting properties is investigated.

Materials Science and Engineering

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gunther Eggeler

At the Chair of Materials Science and Engineering, the microstructure of materials is at the center of all teaching and research activities. We focus on the mechanical and microstructural characterization of materials.

Work Groups

Materials Processing

apl. Dr.-Ing. Jan Frenzel

The research group Materials Processing investigates the relationships between processing conditions, microstructures and properties of modern functional and structural engineering materials. On central aspect is the detailed characterization of microstructures, which involves the application of state of art microscopy techniques, as well as the development of new characterization approaches.

Mikrostruktur und mechanische Eigenschaften

apl. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Guillaume Laplanche

The aim of the research group is to establish the relationships between thermomechanical processing parameters, microstructure and mechanical properties of compositionally complex alloys. The activities are oriented towards two main aspects for the optimization of alloys used in structural applications, namely, the understanding of their deformation mechanisms in a broad temperature range from cryogenic to high temperatures as well as their microstructural stability and kinetics of strength degradation at high temperatures.
