This presentation focuses on next-generation solar energy technologies from a materials perspective. We study structure-property relationships in advanced materials, emphasizing multifunctional systems that exhibit several functionalities. Such systems are then used as building blocks for the fabrication of various emerging technologies. In particular, nanostructured materials synthesized via the bottom-up approach present an opportunity for future generation, low cost and low energy intensive manufacturing of devices. This talk focuses on recent developments in solar technologies, including third-generation photovoltaics, solar hydrogen production, luminescent solar concentrators and other optoelectronic devices, highlighting the role and importance of critical raw materials. 2025 Edward DeMille Campbell Memorial Lecture Tuesday, October 21 | 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. At IMAT in Detroit Prof. Harry Bhadeshia, FASM Professor of Metallurgy, Queen Mary University of London “Mechanism of the Bainite Transformation—A Consensus Finally?” A rearrangement of atoms in the solid-state can be driven by external stimuli that cause changes in the structure and properties of the material over a variety of length scales. Steels are blessed with the ability to accept most of the elements in the periodic table, leading to a rich variety of phase changes that can be manipulated to create alloys that are fit-for-purpose. A mathematical understanding of how atoms translate during the phase change can in principle nurture creativity that might steal the show. It is in this context that the talk describes the bainite transformation, which has a checkered history about the processes that occur at the atomic scale. Both in terms of the level of chaos during nucleation and growth, and whether small and large atoms need to be treated differently. There now seems to be a ASM Nominations The ASM International Constitution provides that members of the Society may submit additional nominations after the Nominating Committee has made its official report. Article IV, Section 6, of the ASM Constitution reads: “After publication of the Nominating Committee’s report on nominees, and the Board report on its nominee for Treasurer per the Rules for Government, and at any time prior to July 15 of the same year, additional nominations for any or all of the vacancies may be made in writing to the Executive Director at Headquarters. Such nominations must be signed by at least 25 individual Professional or Chapter Members. Such nominees shall be processed by the Executive Director for compliance with Section 4 of this Article. This shall be the only way in which additional nominations may be made. The membership of ASM International shall be duly notified in a regular publication of such additional nominations.” Rosei Bhadeshia LECTURERS
