Main studies carried out during June:

- Investigation of crystallographic orientation relationship between matrix and quasicrystalline phase in Al-Mn-Fe melt-spun ribbon, as a result relation i5<001>&#945; was observed in the 5-fold diffraction pattern, further investigation of eutectic composition by STEM analysis showed that it has slightly different composition comparing to the quasicrystals with spherical and dendritic shape.

- Preparation of the articles (4 pages), poster and presentation for the following conference: The XIVth International Conference on Electron Microscopy in Wisla.

- Participation in the conference mentioned above between 26-30th of June. During conference oral presentation was given at the Young scientist session (as 1st award for Best Ph.D student’s abstract) - „TEM study of quasicrystals in Al-Mn-Fe melt-spun ribbon”. Participation in poster session where two posters were presented. The first one with the title corresponding to the topic of oral presentation, the second one: „Microstructure and properties of hot compacted Al-12 wt% Zn-3wt% Mg-1.5% Cu melt spun ribbons”. Attendance in lectures during following sessions: electron diffraction, highlights in TEM, holography, SEM, defects, materials and nanomaterials.

Participation in seminar performed by M.Sc. Eng. Lukasz Rogal about thixo-cast steels.
