Abstract
The general intention of the inter-institutional research initiative The Nature of Laves Phases is to create a forum for experimental and theoretical investigations of intermetallic phases with strong interdisciplinary character. The scientific topic is comprehensive and includes synthesis of novel materials, investigations on stability and structure, characterization of atomic and mesoscopic phenomena, microstructure, quantum mechanical and thermodynamical modelling of the materials as well as studies of kinetic phenomena. The Laves phases, which form the largest group of the known intermetallics, are chosen as model systems. These phases are much more complex than important commercial alloys and promising candidates for the design of new metallic materials with superior properties. The recent development of new experimental and theoretical tools in the chemistry and physics of intermetallic phases and the joint scientific expertise and research equipment of the involved Max-Planck research groups promise a break-through in the understanding of intermetallic phases ranging from atomic to mesoscopic phenomena.
