September 1– 5, 2025 Dresden, Germany

The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids is pleased to host the 6th International School on Aperiodic Crystals (1 – 5 September 2025). The 6th International School on Aperiodic Crystals is a Satellite Meeting to the 35th European Crystallographic Meeting in Lviv and Poznan. The meeting has a broad scope, spanning topics from fundamental to applied research:

  • Introduction to aperiodic crystals
  • Superspace symmetry and superspace embedding
  • Modulation functions
  • Structure solution and refinement of modulated crystals
  • Diffuse scattering
  • Electronic and physical properties of aperiodic crystals
  • Dynamics and phasons in aperiodic crystals
  • Complex intermetallics
  • High entropy alloys
  • Quasicrystals
  • Incommensurate magnetic structures
