Topics of interest for phase stability and diffusion kinetics include:
• Physics- and mechanism-based theory, modeling and simulations
• Fundamental and applications-oriented experimental observations
• Microstructural modeling with an emphasis on using fundamental data
• Phenomenological expressions and atomistic mechanisms
• Methods generation and interpretation of data and databases
• Cross-scale models and integration methods
• Energetics and diffusivity of crystal defects such as grain boundaries
• High-throughput phase diagram determination
• High-throughput phase tracer diffusion studies
• Multi-scale modeling (including machining learning) utilizing thermodynamic and kinetic data
• Applying high-performance computing to CALPHAD

There is no focus on particular material classes as we are looking forward to learning how researchers in a wide variety of fields are using PSDK-related approaches to tackle problems in all kinds of materials applications, ranging from electronic, structural, energetic, multi-functional and biomaterials.

Invited sessions dedicated to honor the 2019 J. Willard Gibbs Phase Equilibria awardee will headline this symposium.
