The 16th International Conference on Quasicrystals (ICQ16) will be held on 22-27 June 2025 in Nancy, France. This is one of the series following the 1st workshop in Les Houches, France, the 2nd in Beijing, China, the 3rd Meeting in Vista-Hermosa, Mexico, the 4th Conference in St. Louis, USA, the 5th in Avignon, France, the 6th in Tokyo, Japan, the 7th in Stuttgart, Germany, the 8th in Bangalore, India, the 9th in Ames, USA, the 10th in Zürich, Switzerland, the 11th in Sapporo, Japan, the 12th in Cracow, Poland, the 13th in Kathmandu, Nepal, the 14th in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, the 15th in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
We are pleased to invite you to the ICQ16 conference. This event will offer an excellent opportunity for researchers working on quasicrystals and related topics to discuss on emerging research, exchange ideas, establish a plural dialogue and encourage active collaborations with other research groups, hence promoting material science and engineering. This conference will bring together all the best scientists in the world to make a major contribution about the recent developments in the field. Abstracts are invited in all areas of research including (but not limited to) the following topics :
- Formation, growth and phase stability
- Structure and modeling
- Mathematics of quasiperiodic and aperiodic structures
- Physical properties: transport, magnetic, dynamical, mechanical etc.
- Surfaces and overlayers, reactivity, catalysis
- New Frontiers, strongly correlated electron systems, quantum materials
- Related topics: incommensurate/modulated structures, metallic glass, high entropy alloys, complex metallic alloys, cage compounds, clusters etc.
- Metamaterials: polymer, macro molecules, photonic/phononic crystals, oxide etc.
- Applications
The conference will be held in Nancy, a magnificent ducal city located just 90 minutes from Paris and from Luxembourg. Nancy is the French capital of Art Nouveau, with an outstanding collection of 18th century monuments, including the beautiful royal square Stanislas inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. It is also a lively student city, where you can enjoy a friendly atmosphere with many bars, café terraces, restaurants and museums.
We look forward to welcoming you at ICQ16 in 2025 in Nancy.
