DESCRIPTION:Prof. Alfred Ludwig\, Ruhr-Uni Bochum. Bio: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alf
 red Ludwig received his diploma in mechanical engineering from the Univers
 ity of Karlsruhe in 1996 with an emphasis on materials science and microsy
 stem technology. Then he worked in the field of magnetoelastic thin film m
 ultilayers at the Institute of Materials Research at the Forschungszentrum
  Karlsruhe in order to receive his Dr.-Ing. from the University of Karlsru
 he in 1999. In June 1999 he joined the caesar research group "Smart Materi
 als" where he focused on the development of high-frequency magnetoelastic 
 thin film materials and devices. From December 2002 to September 2007 he w
 as assistant professor at Ruhr-University Bochum\, faculty of mechanical e
 ngineering and simultaneously head of the caesar research group “Combina
 torial Materials Science”. Since October 2007 he holds a Heisenberg-Prof
 essorship for “MEMS Materials” at the Ruhr-University Bochum. He is cu
 rrently the coordinator of the Research Department “Integrity of Small S
 cale Systems and High Temperature Materials” at the Ruhr-University Boch
 um. His research interests include combinatorial and high-throughput metho
 ds in materials science\, MEMS tools for materials science\, nanoscale thi
 n films and multilayers\, smart materials (e.g. conventional and ferromagn
 etic shape memory alloys) as well as new materials for energy conversion a
 nd storage.\nNew or optimized multifunctional and structural materials are
  needed\, e.g. for miniaturization of technological products with improved
  functionality even in extreme conditions. For the discovery and optimizat
 ion of new materials combinatorial and high-throughput experimentation met
 hods as well as dedicated MEMS tools for parallel materials science experi
 ments are very effective. The materials to be investigated are deposited i
 n the form of “materials libraries” by special magnetron sputter depos
 ition methods (co-deposition\, wedge-type multilayer deposition\, shadow m
 asking). These materials libraries are subsequently processed and characte
 rized by high-throughput experimentation methods (automated EDX\, XRD\, te
 mperature-dependent resistance and stress screening) in order to relate co
 mpositional information with structural and functional properties. The tal
 k will cover examples of the combinatorial development of metallic and oxi
 de materials (e.g. Ni-Ti-X-Y\, Fe-W-Ti-O) from binary to quaternary system
 s\, for application areas such as MEMS transducers and solar water splitti
 ng. The obtained results are visualized in the form of composition-process
 ing-structure-function diagrams.
