Recent sessions:

06.08.2009 Invited Talk: Complex Metallic Alloys
Dr. Peter Brommer
Complex Metallic Alloys are characterized by a large unit cell combined with a cluster substructure and inherent disorder. Atomistic simulation is a valuable tool in studying the properties of those alloys.
Dr. Peter Brommer is from the "Institut für Theoretische und Angewandte Physik" at the University in Stuttgart.
16.04.2009 Writing with LaTeX
Fabian Nitsche (ChemTUD) Typesetting in general (fonts, justification, page layout/margins)
Alexander Steppke (CPfS) ZOTERO: A very helpful and easy to use tool for bibliography management
After these two short talks we want to discuss your questions and problems with LaTeX!
19.03.2009 X-Ray Techniques
Hartmut Stöcker (PhysTUD) A Pocket-Size X-Ray Source
Matthias Zschornack (PhysTUD) The Phase Problem in X-Ray Analysis
Pit Boye (PhysTUD) X-Ray Microscopy
19.02.2009 Framing the Structure of MOFs and Clathrates

17.12.2008 Excursion to Freiberg
12:30 Meeting at Burger King in Dresden Main Station
12:55 Train is leaving Dresden, will arrive 13:24 in Freiberg
The Semesterticket is valid up to Klingenberg-Colmnitz. Students with a Semesterticket will only have to buy a ticket from Klingenberg-Colmnitz to Freiberg (3.10 €). The whole distance Dresden-Freiberg is 6.90 € for students without a Semesterticket.
14:00 Guided Tour through the "Terra Mineralia" Exhibition
The exhibition is located at Schloss Freudenstein, Schlossplatz 4, 09596 Freiberg. No further group events are planned after the tour so everybody can decide on his own what to do next. Trains to Dresden are leaving every 30 minutes.
13.11.2008 A Short Look into Material Sciences

16.10.2008 Invited Talk: Basics of Patent Law
Peter Adler
Sie werden einer Patentverletzung beschuldigt. Wie sieht das aus? Was können wir unternehmen? Andere wollen Ihre Ideen kostenlos nutzen. Wie können wir dem begegnen? Welche Rolle spielt ein "Patentanwalt" bei diesen Problemen? Was ist ein "Patentanwalt"? Welche Ausbildung erfährt er? Welche Aufgaben erfüllt er?
Dipl. ing. Peter Adler is patent agent in Dresden. The talk will be held in German.
11.09.2008 Properties Measurement Techniques
