Seminar Prof. Jorge Alcalá – “Multi-scale mechanistic interpretations to indentation experiments across the material length scales: from continuum to atomistic” – Seminar Room (12:00)

Abstract We provide a fundamental contact mechanics background to the interpretation of spherical indentation experiments performed in polycrystalline aggregates, single crystalline units, thin films, and minute material scales comprising an atomistic ensemble. A central issue under examination is the extraction

Seminar of Prof. José Luis Tirado (University of Cordoba): “Recent advances and challenges in Li- and post-Li- ion batteries”, January 23th at 1:00 pm

Abstract: Univalent Na- and multivalent (Ca, Mg, Al)- ion batteries have recently emerged as potential candidates to replace Li-ion batteries in some applications. Their elemental natural abundance, homogeneous geographic distribution and high volumetric capacities in some cases, could be useful for this purpose.
