International Symposium on Metal-Hydrogen Systems

- Fundamentals and Applications -

Scope

Aim of the Symposium:

MH2006 will provide a forum for international scientists to present and discuss new results and ideas concerning the fundamentals and applications of hydrogen interactions with metals and other materials. This symposium should help further the progress of hydrogen-based science and thus aid in future worldwide technological advances concerning energy and the environment.

Symposium Topics:

F1.Surface and interface effects
F2.Reaction kinetics
F3.Hydrogen diffusion, tunneling, trapping
F4.Crystal structures, H-induced material transformations
F5.Thermodynamics, phase diagrams
F6.Optical, magnetic, and electronic properties
F7.Isotopic phenomena including muons
M1.New absorbers - properties and phenomena
M2.Thin films, nanocrystalline, amorphous, cluster, and composite materials
M3.H in non-metal materials
A1.Ni/MH batteries, fuel cells
A2.H2 gaseous, thermal, and catalytic applications
A3.H processing of materials
