These meetings offer a unique perspective on powder diffraction in that the issues under discussion are fundamental to accuracy and how it affects the application of the techniques to materials problems. Advancements in instrumentation continue toincrease the breadth of applications which can be considered with powder diffraction methods. Concurrently, the advances in computer hardware have allowed for the implementation of algorithms and concepts developed decades ago, but whose virtues could not be realized until recently. The meeting is structured to cover both instrument technique specific subjects as well as issues concerning materials characterization. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=408 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=408 01.8.2001 - 03. 8.2001 - The SPIE conference on Neutron and Hard X-ray Optics and Applications will be held in San Diego, 1-3 August 2001. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=372 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=372 06.8.2001 - 10. 8.2001 - The program of SCES2001 will highlight broad unifying themes in thecorrelated electron physics of f-electron systems, d-electron systems and low dimensional systems. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=371 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=371 09.9.2001 - 13. 9.2001 - The conference intends to bring together scientists using neutrons and instrumentation specialists.

Since then it has been recognized that these displacements were a manifestation of the stripes that occur in correlated metal oxides. It is also becoming clear, however, that such behavior is far from unique. The spontaneous development of nanoscale organization coupled to functionality is apparently common to many types and classes of materials, especially complex ones that exhibit correlated electron and atom behaviors that are manifested as phase instabilities and unusual chemical reactivity. These unusual characteristics may therefore originate in the interactions between the resulting differently ordered domains and the attributes of the domain walls instead of bulk characteristics that assume a periodic lattice. The special properties that ensue have generated much of the current interest in nanoscience. Since nanoscale structure has always been recognized as intrinsic to soft matter and biomolecules, many of the ideas and methods already used in, e.g., biological physics, could be extended to condensed matter, and vice versa. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=390 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=390 02.12.2001 - 06. 12.2001 - https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=407 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=407 16.5.2002 - 17. 5.2002 - The ESS European Conference will be held in Bonn, Germany, May 16-17, 2002 at the Bundeshaus the former House of Parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany.

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. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=143 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=143 08.4.2010 - 12. 4.2010 - ICANS, dating back to 1977, is an informal network of more than 15 institutions worldwide, providing a forum for scientists and engineers to study and exchange information on the progress and developments in conjunction with accelerator- and reactor-based neutron sources.

X-ray methods from radiography to fluorescence have become widespread, but the potential of neutron methods has barely been tapped. Neutrons easily penetrate thick layers of metals, even lead, while revealing organic material like wood, leather or bones in sealed metal or stone containers. Two- and three-dimensional imaging provides visual information, while neutron activation analysis delivers elemental composition information, and neutron scattering reveals alloys and textures.With modern detectors, Neutron Imaging can even be performed at low-power research reactors; the application for cultural heritage research gives rise to new uses to elder small research reactors throughout the world, which is explicitly supported by IAEA.NINMACH addresses archaeologists and conservators from museums and universities and aims to illustrate the potential of neutron methods in cultural heritage research. Talks and posters will be presented by physicists and archaeologists who have already employed neutron methods successfully; attendance is explicitly recommended for scientists who are completely new to neutron methods and want to learn about the possibilities at neutron sources throughout the world. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=448 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=448 09.9.2013 - 13. 9.2013 - This event will provide a unique worldwide opportunity to professionals in the academic and industrial research communities to share their latest scientific findings and technological developments in the fields of materials, coatings, nanosciences and surfaces.

The experimental technique was pioneered in the late 1940s, by Drs. Clifford G. Shull and Bertram N. Brockhouse, for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1994. Over the years, neutron scattering studies have made tremendous impact in many areas of physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, and materials engineering.The Gordon Research Conference GRC on Neutron Scattering is a new conference series featuring world-leading neutron scattering scientists who will share and discuss their latest discoveries in the GRC interactive style. The inaugural conference will focus on the effect of disorder and disordered materials. Disorder is ubiquitous and often strongly influences the properties of a material. For example, small changes in oxygen stoichiometry in pyrochlore materials and other frustrated magnets, can lead to a very different magnetic response. Meanwhile, microalloying is known to dramatically improve the glass forming ability of bulk metallic glasses. The underling physical mechanisms leading to these novel phenomena are subjects of intense debate. Disordered materials encompass glass, liquids, spin glass, quantum liquids, relaxor ferroelectrics, polymers, and bio systems.Neutron scattering has played an important role in elucidating the structure and dynamics of disordered materials, and the effect of disorder on properties. However, neutron applications to disorder are very demanding technically, as the scattering tends to be distributed in momentum and energy space, The conference is interdisciplinary in nature, bringing together neutron scattering scientists and theorists across the traditional fields of condensed matter physics, materials science, and the soft matter. In spite of the diversity in the materials of interest, the mechanisms underlying their intriguing physical properties could be the same or similar, and the different communities will benefit from each other through exchange of ideas and approaches.Innovative instrumentation is the backbone of scientific discoveries. One of the nine sessions will be therefore devoted to discussions of the performance of innovative instruments. In addition, there will be a session featuring industrial applications, which connects the neutron scattering community to the public. A diverse and vibrant user community is vital for the success of the neutron scattering facilities. We thus particularly encourage the participation of young scientists, to learn and profit from interactions with leading scientists in neutron scattering in the casual environment provided by the conference.Application DeadlineApplications for this meeting must be submitted by May 24, 2015.

The connection to strong correlation physics is also just beginning. The meeting plans to bring together active participants in these research areas to report their recent findings. The topics covered include new experimental results in topological insulators and topological superconductors, proximity and edge effects; the interplay between topology and strong correlation, in particular the possibility of new topological states which are not covered by the classification scheme of non-interacting fermions; and new materials and topological states, including Dirac and Weyl fermions.Furthermore, cold atom system is now recognized as an attractive platform to realize many of the topology based ideas mentioned above. We plan to bring the cold atom and condensed matter physics community together to investigate issues pertaining to topology and strong correlation. The topics include progress in different approaches of constructing synthetic gauge fields and spin-orbit couplings in cold atoms, and the properties of bosons and fermions in these topological environments.Application DeadlineApplications for this meeting must be submitted by May 31, 2015.

The first one took place in 1988 in Interlaken in the wake of the discovery of high superconductivity by the Nobel Prize winners Johannes Georg Bednorz and Karl Alexander Mller.The meeting has since then taken place in Palo Alto, Kanazawa, Grenoble, Beijing, Houston, Rio de Janeiro, Dresden, Tokyo, Washington and now will return to Switzerland in the summer of 2015.Superconductivity is the phenomenon of electrical current flow without any loss of energy due to resistance. This extremely useful phenomenon is nowadays routinely applied in medical applications of magnetic resonance imaging MRI, in large scale magnetic guiding systems such as CERN, the presently constructed nuclear fusion energy plant ITER, in high throughput electrical power cables, as well as the maglev train presently in construction by Japanese Railways.The field of superconductivity is heavily driven by experimental progress using the most advanced technology available. Consequently the participants of M2S are actively involved in materials science, experimental techniques, theoretical research andor applications of superconductivity.The experimental techniques involve materials processing, crystal growth and characterization, low temperature techniques, ultra high vacuum, various kinds of neutron-, electron-, optical-, X-ray, and scanning probe techniques.Superconductivity is also the subject of intense theoretical research, and has spurred novel ground breaking theoretical approaches to the mechanisms of superconductivity and more generally of emergent properties of strongly interacting electrons.Registration and abstract submission is open:http:www.m2s-2015.chregistration-and-abstract-submission.php.

X-ray methods from radiography to fluorescence have become widespread, but also neutron methods gain increasing interest. Due to the non-destructive nature of neutrons they have been developed to an invaluable tool in analysing precious archaeological objects.Neutrons can penetrate deep into the cultural artefact or beneath the surface of paintings to unveil structures at the microscopic scale and thus determine the chemical composition, provide 3D images of the inner parts of the artefacts, and reveal organic material like wood, leather or bones in sealed metal or stone containers. Whole artefacts can be placed in the neutron beam and analysed at room conditions, without sample preparation. Measurements are made in real time, which can be useful for testing conservation materials and methods.Two- and three-dimensional imaging provides visual information, while neutron activation analysis delivers elemental composition information, and neutron scattering reveals alloys and textures. Thanks to modern detectors, neutron imaging can even be performed at low-power research reactors, which allows the application for cultural heritage research also at small research reactors throughout the world.The MLZ Conference Neutrons for Culture and Arts addresses archaeologists and conservators from museums and universities and aims to illustrate the potential of neutron methods in cultural heritage research. Talks and posters will be presented by renowned international researchers, physicists, and archaeologists in the field to demonstrate state-of-the-art methods and applications.Topics Archaeometry Ceramics Textiles Numismatics Paintings and provenance Statuettes and figurines Wood and soil Fossils Ancient technologies Non-destructive characterisation with neutrons Neutron Radiography and tomography Neutron activation analysis Prompt gamma activation analysis Bragg edge scanning, phase gratings, texture Scattering and diffraction methods OthersKeynote speakers Jacopo Corsi, Universit degli studi di Tornio, Italy Anna Fedrigo, ISIS, United Kingdom Francesco Grazzi, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Italy Martina Griesser, Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien, Austria David Mannes, Paul Scherrer Institut, Switzerland Ina Reiche, Rathgen Forschungslabor, Germany Lszl Szentmiklsi, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary Alan Williams, The Wallace Collection, United Kingdom Nikolay Kardjilov, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin fr Materialien und Energie, Germany to be confirmed Claudia Laurenze-Landsberg, Gemldegalerie Berlin, Germany to be confirmed Judit Zoeldfoldi, Universitt Stuttgart, Germany to be confirmed https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=836 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=836 24.6.2018 - 28. 6.2018 - The American Conference on Neutron Scattering ACNS 2018 will provide essential information on the breadth and depth of current neutron-related research worldwide.Hosted by the Neutron Scattering Society of America:http:neutronscattering.org, this years Conference will feature a combination of invited and contributed talks, posters sessions, tutorials and an industrial exhibit.

It is among the Worlds leading Scientific Conference which hosts scientific sessions and sub-sessions on cutting edge research and latest innovations in the field of Condensed Matter and Materials Physics across the globe. The attendees can find some exclusive sessions and panel discussions on latest originations in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics.IntroductionCondensed matter and materials physics is the science of the material world around us. The curiosity about the natural world led to queries about condensed-matter systems, such as water, rocks, snow, ice, and how these react to light, heat, and mechanical forces. This hunger for fundamental understanding has been inextricably tied to the desire to manipulate nature by creating new materials to serve human needs. Condensed matter physics is the branch of physics that studies the properties of the large collections of atoms that compose both exotic and ordinary materials. Condensed matter and materials physics advances led in turn to the innovation of devices that now form the basis of much of our technological world, including the transistor, the integrated circuit, the laser, magnetic resonance imaging, liquid-crystal displays, and, more recently, high-efficiency solid-state lighting. At present, it is so important to the modern computer and communicating industriesOur MissionInternational Conference on Condensed Matter and Materials Physics which is going to be the biggest conference dedicated to Condensed Matter and Materials Physics professionals providing a premier technical forum for reporting and learning about the latest new generation technologies developed during the course of time along with discussing their applications.

Since the last conference in this series to be held in the U.S. was 1999, it is a great time to again hold this conference in the U.S.Coincident with major facility upgrades with renewed small-angle scattering capabilities across the U.S. National Synchrotron Light Source-II, Advanced Photon Source, and Linac Coherent Light Source either complete or well-in-progress by 2018, the SAS2018 conference offers a timely opportunity to promote stronger scientific and personal interactions.SAS2018 will serve to showcase the progress of small-angle scattering research in North America, including the many instruments at user facilities across the continent and the rich variety of research taking place.We expect high-level researchers from around the world involved in all aspects of small-angle scattering research will attend and draw even greater participation in these conferences by U.S. researchers.The conference will also help to raise the visibility of the importance of small-angle scattering investigations in research and industry.We chose Grand Traverse Resort Spa in Traverse City, Michigan, as an ideal venue to help us promote strong interactions among the conference participants and to return this conference to a more intimate setting, in the style of a Gordon Research Conference. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=819 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=819 16.10.2018 - 19. 10.2018 - The meeting will be held in the heart of Darling Harbour which forms part of our larger Sydney Harbour, recognised as one of the worlds most beautiful waterways. Darling Harbour is Sydneys most exciting entertainment precinct and only moments from the heart of Sydneys city centre. It offers multiple accommodation, entertainment and transport options including fine restaurants, museums, a retail marketplace and outdoor entertainment venues.With neutron scattering remaining at its core, we also wish to extend and showcase nuclear-based techniques more broadly and how they are increasingly being employed. Such examples include neutron activation analysis and isotopic fingerprinting techniques for authenticity and traceability to combat food fraud. It is recognised that neutron methods are often applied in concert with other complementary measurement methods, including X-ray and light scattering, and such contributions where food materials are the focus are warmly invited.The conference welcomes participants and contributions from the wide community of food science and product development, food packaging, and nutrition, as well as exponents of nuclear-based methods including scattering. In particular we intend to have a mixture of talks from food scientists and technologists with problems where scattering methods may be applicable, as well as talks from those already using scattering and other nuclear-based methods. We also anticipate the opportunity for one-on-one discussions to provide advice on specific problems as well as pre-conference presentations on what some of the techniques have to offer the food science community.Further details are available on the conference website www.neutronsandfood.net:http:www.neutronsandfood.net https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=789 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=789 16.10.2018 - 19. 10.2018 - When designing new food products for the market-place, it is of increasing importance to understand the relationships between the structural and functional properties of food constituents and implications on their processing, nutritional, physiological and sensory behaviour. The creation of novel functionalities of ingredients in complex food systems requires knowledge of not only the structure of native agricultural materials but also the changes in their structure across a wide range of length and time scales brought about by food processing. It is the inherent complexity of modern food systems that calls for interdisciplinary scientific approaches to be applied.In addition, there are significant challenges in the food arena that transcend national borders arising from increasing food demand governed by a growing population, rapidly changing food preferences, increasing demand for healthier food to combat disease and to improve diet, higher standards of food quality associated with economic development, concerns of the impact of agriculture on the environment, and the effect of climate change.To explore the opportunity neutron scattering techniques offer, the Neutrons and Food conference started in 2010. The conference has been held every two years since with attendees showcasing how neutron scattering techniques have been used and, often, in concert with other complementary measurement methods including X-ray and light scattering. In 2018, the conference returns to Sydney.With neutron scattering remaining at its core, we also wish to extend and showcase nuclear-based techniques more broadly and how they are increasingly being used. Such examples include neutron activation analysis and isotopic fingerprinting techniques to combat food fraud.The conference welcomes participants and contributions from the wide community of food science and product development, food packaging, and nutrition, as well as exponents as nuclear-based methods including scattering. In particular we intend to have a mixture of talks from food scientists and technologists with problems where scattering methods may be applicable, as well as talks from those already using scattering and other nuclear-based methods. We also anticipate the opportunity for one-on-one discussions to provide advice on specific problems as well as pre-conference presentations on what some of the techniques have to offer the food science community.As always, the primary goal is to bring together the community of food scientists and materials scientists to address the most significant challenges in food.Previous Meetings Sydney 2010:http:www.nbi.ansto.gov.auneutronsandfoodDelft 2012:http:neutronfood.tudelft.nlParis 2014:http:www-llb.cea.frenPhoceaVie_des_labosSeminairesindex.phpid2919Lund 2016:https:indico.esss.lu.seevent426You may also be interested in attending the 17th International Small-Angle Scattering conference:http:neutronsources.orgindex.phparticle_id158eventid819 in Traverse City, Michigan, the week prior to Neutrons and Food. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=820 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=820 22.10.2018 - 26. 10.2018 - The 12th NOBUGS Conference will be held at Brookhaven National Laboratory on October 2226, 2018.

With the closure of Orphe, French users will lose their national source, with the closure of the BER2 at HZB, German users will focus even more on the MLZ at Garching.Furthermore, the international users of both facilities will put even more pressure on the availability of beam time at our international source, the Institute Laue Langevin ILL, and also at the MLZ. However, ESS will come into full operation in the late twenties only. In particular for the French user community, this means the risk of losing knowledge in neutron science, in the period between the closure of Orphe and the getting into operation of ESS. A first attempt to bridge this gap is made by additional CRG instruments at ILL and SINQ. In the interest of keeping the European leadership in neutron science, French scientists are warmly welcome to become an active partner at MLZ.In this framework, the workshop will discuss opportunities of an enhanced cooperation between French and German neutron scientists covering topics from innovative instrumentation to exploring new fields in neutron science.The Directors of 2FDN and MLZ look forward to welcoming French and German neutron scientists at this workshop. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=911 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=911 23.6.2019 - 26. 6.2019 - The conference is co-organized by the European Spallation Source and Max IV Laboratory and will emphasize novel techniques for surface x-ray and neutron scattering including instrumentation and source development. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=955 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=955 01.7.2019 - 05. 7.2019 - Topics that will be covered are directly related with the European Great Challenges and are listed below: Neutron Sources and FacilitiesDisordered systems LiquidsThin Films and InterfacesSolid State ChemistryMagnetism, multiferroics, skyrmions, superconductivityFunctional MaterialsNeutron Instrumentation, Optics, sample environment, detectors and SoftwareSoft MatterLife SciencesEngineering ApplicationsCultural Heritage and ArchaeometryFundamental Science https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=888 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=888 08.7.2019 - 12. 7.2019 - We would like to attract your attention to the satellite event of the ECNS2019It is our pleasure to invite you to take part in the V-thInternational Workshop Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction and ExoticSpin Structures DMI - 2019 to be held in Petrozavodsk, Russia fromthe 8th to the 12th of July 2019.The International Workshop Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction andExotic spin structures DMI is convened biennially.
