Description: Following a standing tradition that began in 1987 in Germany, The International Workshop on Positron Studies of Defects (PSD-24) was held in the Sala Bianca of the Teatro Sociale di Como, Italy, from September 1 to 6, 2024.The workshop aimed to provide a platform for the exchange of the latest scientific results and developments concerning positron interactions with solids and surfaces, the applied techniques, and their diverse applications. An intensive two-day Summer School in honour of Alfredo Dupasquier was held at the Brunate Library on August 31st and September 1st, prior to the PSD-24. The School featured lectures delivered by leading international experts in Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (PAS).

Progress in Thermodynamics, Diffusion, Ion and Proton Transport of Ionic Compounds and Ion-Conducting Polymer Films

Edited by: Helmut Mehrer

Online since: July 2016

Description: Ion conducting, proton conducting and mixed conductor materials are important components of solid state devices for energy storage and conversion and for energy production. The present volume of "Diffusion Foundations" is the second one of two volumes devoted to recent progress in structure, thermodynamics, ion and proton transport in ionic materials and in this volume ceramic materials and polymer membranes are in focus.
