About the Workshop

This will be the eighth of a series of well established workshops on both experimental and theoretical aspects of thermophysical behavior of matter in the millisecond to picosecond time regimes. It will include rapid resistive or inductive heating, laser pulse heating, shock and release waves, and levitation techniques. The emphasis will be on measurements of thermophysical properties and phase transitions at high temperatures and pressures up to the vicinity of the critical point of high-melting substances. In this region, laser pulse and resistive heating, containerless techniques and adiabatic-release techniques are unique approaches to study the behavior of matter under conditions near and distant from thermodynamic equilibrium.

An informal workshop atmosphere is chosen to promote exchange and cooperation among scientists and researchers from academia, research institutions and industry with common scientific and technical interests.
