<p>Anno 2014 marks the United Nation's International Year of
Crystallography, a discipline on which is based the
analysis of materials by neutron and x-ray diffraction.
Since discovery of the latter by Laue and the Bragg's,
over a centenary ago, the method excels and still evolves
with the up-come of most modern sources. Recently x-ray
free-electron lasers became available, high-energy
synchrotrons are being refurbished, neutron reactors built
and spallation sources driven to new scales; while future
facilities, as energy-recovery linacs have been
technically designed. Hand-in-hand with achievements in
detector development, instrumentation and computing power,
these installations continuously drive into new
possibilities for materials analysis. The present
symposium shall expose those latest developments for the
materials science applications, demonstrating both
pioneering experiments and well established methods.
Modern diffraction methods of synchrotron and neutron
radiation, combined simultaneously with time resolved or
imaging techniques allow a multi-dimensional insight into
materials. Thus information from an ensemble of individual
grains in a polycrystalline material, time resolved <em>in-situ</em>
investigations can be obtained from materials undergoing
mechanical, chemical or electric load under working or
extreme conditions. Last but not least, coherent-beam
diffraction opens new aspects of data acquisition and
analysis in both spectroscopic and space resolved domains.<br>
Contributions are sought in the fields of metallurgy and
materials forming; energy materials in realistic
conditions; response of functional materials under
parametric load; materials under extreme or exotic
conditions. Particularly contributions using an innovative
approach in their application or from the novel upcoming
facilities with unprecedented possibilities are desired.<br>
The methods shall cover time and lengths scales from
sub-picoseconds to days and sub-angstrom to meters,
respectively.</p>
