Invitation

Dear Colleagues,

Time is running fast and ICFSMA, the only world-wide conference about magnetic shape memory, is again here! With now firmly established triennial period it is the sixth conference in row. I am very pleased and honored that I can invite you to Prague, the city of hundreds of spires. I believe that not only spires outside but also inside will inspire us to pursue and provide excellent future of the field.

This, of course, depends only on you and your exiting and stimulating contributions. Although we will have only selected number of invited talks, the main platform consisting from contributed talks and posters, I believe that any contribution, no matter in what format, will be met with interest and friendly atmosphere as it is good practice of this conference. We have great tradition to follow which obliges us to try our best.

I hope you will find Prague inspiring not only at conference venue and in discussion with colleagues but also by being in enchanting city itself.

Looking forward to meeting you at the ICFSMA’19!

Oleg Heczko
Chairman of the conference

Conference scope

The aim of the conference is to generate an overview of world-wide research and
development in the field of magnetic shape memory (MSM) alloys and associated
phenomena. The conference will cover entire line of the theoretical and experimental
research from fundamentals to applications. Particular emphasis will be given to
original studies extended to the related fields and to the practical utility of the
phenomena. By presentation and discussion of the most recent results covering both
fundamental and applied aspects of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs), the
conference will provide on inspiring environment for developing new ideas and
applications, forging collaborations and meeting old and new friends.

Conference topics

basic phenomena and theory
correlation between magnetic and martensitic transformations
strain glass and related phenomena
magnetomechanic and caloric properties
modelling and simulation from atomic to macro scale
new materials and materials design
thin films and microsystems
foams/constructs and composites
processing and applications

Venue

The conference will take place in the Conference and Social Center „House of Professed“ of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague.

The „House of Professed“ is located in the Malostranské Square 2/25, Lesser Town, Prague 1, right next to the church of St. Nicholas in the heart of Prague. This early Baroque style building is a former Jesuit college – residence of professors, highest ranking representativesof the Order. Now it is a university building lively with the students of physics and mathematics.

Accommodation

Accommodation is not included in the registration fee.

Participants are kindly asked to find accommodation by themselves using known internet providers.

There are a lot of small hotels of various price levels catering for all needs in the walking distance from conference venue.
Moreover, Prague has efficient city transport and thus even accommodation farther away is no problem.
Prague is one of the most safe cities in the world,
there is no no-go zone.

We recommend to book early
as June is the high tourist season in Prague.
