Since 2002 the Sino-German Science Center for Research Promotion Beijing, the Natural National Science Foundation of China (NNSFC) and the German Research Foundation (DFG) are supporting a priority programme on Modern Metallic Materials Design (MMMD) of Chinese and German groups. Modern materials science ranges from tailoring of structures in nanodimensions to the optimization of technical materials by the application of new physical concepts reflecting the growing atomistic insight into structure and properties of matter. The project aims on joint work in projects on metals and alloys, which are of great topicality and therefore can be considered as interesting and challenging for materials science institutions in China as well as in Germany. One group of projects concerns the solidification of metals and alloys from the melt. Another group of projects concerns metallic glasses. This field has recently seen intensive expansion after new multicomponent systems have been developed which permit to obtain bulk materials. A group of metallic alloys, which has been pioneered by Chinese scientists is quasicrystalline materials. Finally the current project addresses the new field of structurally complex alloy phases. The science of these alloys exhibiting properties between those of conventional intermetallics and those of quasicrystals. The symposium MMMD consists mainly of reports of the research done within this programme.
