Les Houches School of PhysicsSince 1951

This workshop focuses on the study of the relationships between manufacturing processes, microstructure and properties of ceramic materials used for the production or storage of energy (thermoelectrics, piezoelectrics, fuel cells, capacitors, batteries, photovoltaics, nuclear fuels, etc.). The theoretical approaches and simulation will have their place. This workshop is national in scope. It aims to bring together academic researchers and from public establishments, as well as industrial researchers and students for a week of scientific exchanges. The program will be structured around invited lectures lasting one hour, followed by 10-15 minutes of questions. Following these lectures, there will be sessions based on shorter communications of 15 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of questions. There will also be two 2-hours slots, distributed throughout the week, for poster sessions.
