<div>Dear Colleague,<br>
</div>
<div>We would like to draw your attention to the International
Workshop on Single-Crystal Diffraction with Polarised Neutrons
(Flipper2010), which will be held in Grenoble, France, January 27 -
29, 2010.</div>
<div><br></div>

workshop</b></font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font face="Tahoma" size="+1" color="#4F4F4F">The enhanced
contrast between the magnetic and nuclear signals in polarised neutron
diffraction was first demonstrated in the milestone experiment by
Shull, Nathans and colleagues in the late 1950s. The following decades
saw steady development of the flipping-ratio technique by small groups
of devoted experts who were interested primarily in the experimental
determination of magnetic form factors and mapping out of spin density
in metals and intermetallics. More recently improvements in
instrumentation and analysis techniques have seen application of
polarised-neutron diffraction to an increasingly wider range of
scientific questions from solution of difficult antiferromagnetic
structures, through exploration of spin density in smart materials,
such as giant-magnetoresistant oxides and multiferroics, to magnetism
in molecules. Chemists, materials scientists and biologists have now
joined with physicists to discover the unique capabilities of
polarised-neutron diffraction.</font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font face="Tahoma" size="+1" color="#4F4F4F">To continue to
spread the interest in polarised-neutron diffraction amongst the
different scientific communities a three-day International Workshop on
Single-Crystal Diffraction with Polarised Neutrons will be held at the
ILL in Grenoble in January 2010. With emphasis on scientific
applications, exotic magnetism, and the promise of new applications at
both reactor and spallation sources, this workshop aims to bridge the
gap between the excellent technique-oriented biennial PNCMI
conferences and the broader triennial Sagamore Conference on Spin,
Charge and Momentum Density. One session will be in honour of the long
and fruitful career of Francis Tasset.</font></div>
