Overview LSC Groups

The group performs research on structural and mechanical properties of metals and alloys. The approach is largely based on a combination of neutron and Xray diffraction methods with conventional experimental characterization techniques and computational simulation methods. The group is closely linked to the Laboratory for Neutrons and Xrays for Mechanics of Materials (NXMM), of the Institut des Matériaux at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) through its head Prof. Dr. Helena Van Swygenhoven.  Homepage Photons for Engineering an Manufacturing Group

With the retirement of Prof. emerita Helena van Swygenhoven, the remaining group members have been transferred to the new Structure and Mechanics of Advanced Materials Group.
