Diffusion Fundamentals I
Basic Principles of Theory, Experiment and Application
September 22nd - 24th, 2005
Leipzig
150 years after Adolf Fick's and 100 years after Albert Einstein's
fundamental papers on diffusion in "Poggendorffs Annalen der Physik und
Chemie" and “Annalen der Physik”, respectively, the world-wide
community of researchers in the field of diffusion is invited to
Leipzig, the place of publication of these papers, to highlight the
current developments in the field. Diffusion Fundamentals I is co-organized by
the Universities of Leipzig and Hannover, Sächsische Akademie der
Wissenschaften zu Leipzig, Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft, Deutsche
Bunsengesellschaft für Physikalische Chemie, Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker
and DECHEMA.
The scientific programme includes invited plenary talks,
covering those topics of diffusion theory, experiment and application,
which are in the focus of current research, as well as poster presentations about all diffusion-related subjects. The talks will address a
broad, interdisciplinary audience rather than only the specialists in
the different fields.
