Welcome to DIMAT 2004 Web Page

DIMAT 2004 Conference is Organized under the Patronage of:

AGH University of Science and Technology
Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences
Polish Association of Materials Science
State Committee for Scientific Research
Cracow University of Technology

Sponsored by:

Polish State Committee for Scientific Research
6th Framework Programme EU, Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses,
Structuring the European Research Area - Marie Curie Actions (Contract No. MLCF-CT-2002-503736)

Scope of the Conference

The aim of the DIMAT 2004 conference is to gather the scientists active in performing diffusion experiments, developing microscopic or phenomenological models of diffusion in materials. The subjects extend from the physics of atomic migration random walk theory and transport theory to the contemporary technology involving diffusion, solid state reactions, surface treatments, nanotechnology, semiconductors, packaging, etc.
