The International Symposium on Metastable, Mechanically Alloyed and Nanocrystalline Materials (ISMANAM 2001) will take place at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, on 24-29 June 2001.

Materials classes to be covered include metastable crystalline, quasicrystalline and amorphous phases and various geometries and nanostructures, including thin films, nanocrystalline materials and nanosized particles. All the main aspects of these materials will be covered, including synthesis, microstructure, properties and performance. As a forum for novel ideas, the symposium is intended to promote contact between basic reseach and technological needs for industrial applications.

The program will include invited and keynote lectures by internationally distinguished scientists. Contributed papers, in either oral or poster presentations, are welcomed. Submission of contributions from researchers in materials science, physics, chemistry and engineering is encouraged.
