<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>You are cordially invited
to attend the International Conference</span></font> on “Energy materials
research using neutron and synchrotron radiation” to be held on July 27
to July 30, 2009 in <st1:City w:st="on">Berlin</st1:City>, <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Germany</st1:country-region> and organized jointly by Helmholtz
Zentrum <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Berlin</st1:State></st1:place>
für Materialien und Energie and Bragg Institute of Australian Nuclear Science
and Technology Organisation. From a fundamental standpoint, many of the same
phenomena are common to hydrogen storage materials, electrolyte and electrode
materials, fuel cells and solar cell materials and the meeting is planed to
address the questions: where is the energy carrier, how does it move and what
are the interactions that determine storage or transport properties? Understanding
the underlying processes requires a simultaneous access to the proper length
and time scales which can be selected by different neutron and synchrotron
scattering techniques. The scope of the conference is to explore the pertinent
properties of sustainable energy materials by interdisciplinary approach, how neutron
and synchrotron radiation can contribute to this field and determine future
research directions. Modelling, either to deeper understanding of experimental
data, or in the prediction of new materials from these data is an important
aspect of the sustainable energy field and will also be part of the conference.
Preparation methods etc. will not be dealt with.<o:p></o:p></p>
