In December we took part in the Joint PhD Seminar (Radeburg, Germany) and Nano-scale materials and advanced characterization techniques – European advanced training course (Dresden, Germany).
During the former we had an opportunity to exchange our scientific experience and consult results of our recent investigations with PhD students from Fraunhofer Institute for Nondestructive Studies. During the seminar I gave a speech on “Aluminium matrix nano-composites reinforced with aluminium nitrides”.
The latter gave us an overview of number of advanced techniques used in materials characterization, including Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Atom Probe Tomography, Nanoindentation, etc..
