This new instrument will have a neutron intensity at least ten times higher than what is currently available and will make possible exciting new areas such as the determination of the time-dependent response of materials. The tutorial will bring these advances to the attention of both the academic and industrial science and engineering communities, provide a tutorial environment in which to teach potential users the state of the art, and promote an increase in the user community.The symposium will introduce the capabilities of nextgeneration, neutronscattering instruments and identify new and exciting research opportunities that will have a high impact on metals, ceramics, and engineering sciences. The first day of the symposium will be linked with the tutorial to provide a framework for understanding the capabilities of the future state of neutron scattering. The second day will be devoted to concentrated focus groups, with the goal of identifying new roles for neutron scattering in materials science research that will have a high impact on the field. The focus groups will include both neutron scattering and materials science experts from academia, national laboratories, and industries. A publication on future directions in the field in professional and appropriate trade journals will result. The larger goal is to promote interactions among neutron and materials scientists that will form the foundation for joint research ventures and will contribute to the instrumentation being proposed for development at the SNS. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=392 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=392 11.4.2002 - The vitality of todays modern technological society is increasinglydependent upon the use of sophisticated engineered materials. Because the macroscopic properties of such materials are often dictated by their microscopic structure, materials scientists and engineers use a variety of techniques to better understand them on an atomic or molecular scale. Neutron scattering is one such technique, but is not commonly utilized by the materials community. This symposium will present important applications of neutron scattering that demonstrate its advantages for solving problems in materials science and engineering. Topics include study of the structural, magnetic, and dynamical behavior of materials on length scales ranging from the distance between atoms to the size of biological and polymer macro-molecules, characterization of residual stresses, and the properties of surfaces and interfaces. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=351 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=351 18.8.2002 - 22. 8.2002 - Applications of Neutron Scattering in Structural Biology and Biophysics, will be held August 18-22, 2002, at the American Chemical Society National Meeting in Boston, Massachussetts. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=350 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=350 17.10.2003 - 18. 10.2003 - Symposium for Canadian Participation at the Spallation Neutron Source and the 2003 CINSICDN Annual General MeetingThe symposium will feature national and intenational experts in the application of neutron scattering to topical problems in materials science.

Tassets life-long contributions to polarised neutron scattering, and in particular the generalisation of the polarisation analysis Spherical Neutron Polarimetry and his pioneering contributions towards the polarisation of wide-band neutron beams with 3He spin filters.Francis started playing with polarised neutrons in 1966 on the diffractometer DN2 of the CEA-Grenoble. After convincing M. Maier- Leibniz to build a polarised neutron three-axis spectrometer at ILL, he met P.J. Brown and J.B. Forsyth also interested by polarised neutron techniques. In 1975-76, he worked on superconducting materials and met W.C. Koehler. After his return to ILL, he decided to exploit the Meissner effect and built a prototype of the Cryoflipper. From the successful results, he started to built a prototype of Cryopad with the help of S. Pujol. After solving many problems, he finally succeeded just before the long shutdown in 1990. The Spherical Neutron Polarimetry technique was born. In parallel, he tried to polarise a neutron beam with a spin filter but the disappoint was huge with only 12 3He polarisation. A few years later, thanks to a steadfast motivation, he built a second-generation Cryopad at ILL and a first polarised 3He filling station at Mainz University. In 1998, the Spherical Neutron Polarimetry was adopted and people started speaking about 3He spin filters. In 2000-02, he built the filling station which is now the reference worldwide. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=129 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=129 06.3.2009 - On March 6, the ILL will organise a symposium to honor Dr. F.

Compared with X-ray scattering, the scattering power of neutrons does not scale with the number of electrons in an element, and thus neutron scattering is more sensitive to light elements and is powerful in distinguishing neighboring elements in the periodic table. Moreover, since neutrons are highly penetrating, neutron scattering iswell suited for combining with sample environment cells such aspressure, temperature and magnetic field for in-situ real-time studies. Important areas of applications to geological problems include high-pressure mineral physics e.g., stability of hydrous minerals, crystallography e.g., ionic orderdisorder and magnetic structures, geochemistry e.g., isotope fractionation and fluid-rock interactions in a confined space, petrology e.g., glassmelt structure and microstructure of rocks and structural geology e.g., texture andstressstrain analysis. The aim of this session is to provide aninterdisciplinary forum to promote discussions on the current state ofneutron scattering applications to a broad range of geological problems not limited to those described above. Submissions are also welcome from beamline scientists to introduce instrumental capabilities and data analysis methods to stimulate discussions on new applications. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=126 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=126 21.6.2009 - 26. 6.2009 - Over the past 10 years there has been a large increase in the number of new generation synchrotron e.g. Diamond Light Source, SSRL Spear 3 and The Linac Coherent Light Source LCLS and neutron sources e.g. J-PARC, SNS, FRM-II, OPAL, ISIS-TS2 across the world. The development of these facilities has led to dramatic improvements in beam flux, size and stability which have enabled significant improvements in time resolution, data quality, detection limits and spatial resolution using microfocus techniques. Environmental geochemistry and mineralogy research has benefited greatly from these developments as the new facilities allow in situ studies of natural heterogeneous materials e.g. soil, aqueous phases and poorly-ordered minerals under near natural conditions. This session will focus on the recent developments in the applications of synchrotron- and neutron- based techniques for the study of low-temperature environmental systems including but not limited to biogeochemistry, geomicrobiology, soil science, carbon sequestration, metal and metalloid speciation studies in natural and contaminated environments, aqueous geochemistry, colloid science, nano particles, mineralsolutionbio interface studies, environmental radiochemistry and phytoremediation studies.

The discovery and development of new materials hinge on our understanding of their structures and dynamics. Neutron scattering is a powerful and important tool for identifying the next generations of materials for energy applications and optimizing their properties. This symposium will bring together scientists interested in using neutron scattering to characterize and understand the structure and dynamics in advanced materials, particularly those related to energy technologies.Neutron diffraction, small-angle neutron scattering, reflectometry and neutron imaging reveal atomic structures, microstructures and device structures across multiple length scales. Because neutrons are highly penetrating, in-situ experiments are now routine. With the advent of new powerful neutron sources, it is possible to conduct time-resolved investigations of structure evolution in real materials under realistic operating conditions. Inelastic scattering is a unique tool for measuring the underlying dynamics responsible for thermodynamics and transport properties, which underpin some of the key issues in energy storage and conversion. Last, but not least, neutron scattering has played a crucial role in studies of magnetism, superconductivity, polymers, and complex fluids, nearly all of which have connections with energy.Topics will include but will not be limited to: Photovoltaic materials Thermoelectric materials Batteries and fuel cells Structural materials for transportation and nuclear applications Correlated electron systems Enabling scattering technology and softwareAbstracts in other neutron-scattering research areas are also welcome.Joint sessions are being considered with Symposium BB:http:www.mrs.orgf13-cfp-bb: _Thermoelectric MaterialsFrom Basic Science to Applications_ and Symposium CC:http:www.mrs.orgf13-cfp-cc: _Advanced Materials for Rechargeable Batteries_.Invited speakers include:Hajime Arai Kyoto Univ., Japan, Simon Billinge Columbia Univ., Mark Dadmun Univ. of Tennessee, Bill David Univ.

Since discovery of the latter by Laue and the Braggs, 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 in-situ 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.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.The methods shall cover time and lengths scales from sub-picoseconds to days and sub-angstrom to meters, respectively.Topics will include: In-Situ Single Grain Resolved Studies Strain Scanning Texture Liquid, Amorphous, Nanocrystalline and Distorted Materials Materials Imaging Tomography Exotic and Novel Experimental DevelopmentsA tutorial complementing this symposium is tentatively planned.

Similar issues arise in soft matter, where material properties e.g. mechanical functioning, transport properties, internal surface, optical properties etc are highly influenced by analogues to these quantities formed by the arrangements of ensembles of molecules, often in a solvent, such as amphilipilic molecules or polymers rather than atoms. The structures formed consequentially occur at longer length-scales, and the role of thermal motions is quite different.This meeting brings together those working in highly ordered forms of soft matter from biology, polymer science and the colloidal domain with the following objectives: Bringing together a community working in this science field. Discussing instrumentation, and in particular the specific characteristics which are peculiar to these investigations. Defining specific requirements for neutron instruments to enable such research. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=634 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=634 13.9.2015 - 17. 9.2015 - Welcome to the 35th International Symposium on Dynamical Properties of Solids - DyProSo XXXV - which is held from 13 to 17 September 2015 at Bildungszentrum Freising near Munich.

The meeting will be co-hosted by the User Offices of DESY Photon Science, EMBL Hamburg and European XFEL. In recent times, the user research administration landscape in Europe has been evolving very quickly, in a very complex funding situation. In addition, new facilities are under construction or coming into operation and a number of established facilities have gone or are going through upgrade programmes. Due to the increasing number of users of large-scale research facilities, all this has potentially a large impact on photon and neutron science output in Europe. In this framework, a strong network among User Offices can be very productive for all participants. After a successful first meeting at ALBA in Barcelona in November 2014, the 2nd Meeting of the European User Offices will be another useful opportunity for exchanging information and experiences on present and upcoming common challenges relevant to user operation at large-scale synchrotron, FEL and neutron facilities. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=680 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=680 19.4.2016 - The design, buildup, operation and maintenance of new and existing European Research Infrastructures RIs has been established as essential for the completion of the European Research Area ERA. Research Infrastructures RIs, along with the human capital concentrated around them, are recognized as a prerequisite for excellence in science, an enabler for industrial application of scientific results and a way to address the weaknesses in science and innovation policy coordination and networking at the European and region level. Nevertheless, there is an imbalance when it comes to the understanding of the investment needed in these RIs and more concretely, to which financial instrument could be considered depending of the RIs developing phase and the specific expenses needs.The ultimate goal of the Symposium on European Funding Instruments for the development of Research Infrastructures is to provide a comprehensive view of the financial possibilities that the European RIs can consider in order to fully exploit their research capacities and services.With this activity the RICH project aims to facilitate information on the different funding instruments available and their connection to the RIs ecosystem, in particular the use of Structural Funds as well as EFSI, InnovFin and its synergies with H2020 funding, offering this way a complete view of how RIs can be managed and funded at global, EU, national and regional level.The symposium will be web-streamed at: http:www.rich2020.eusymposium2016live:http:www.rich2020.eusymposium2016live https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=696 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=696 02.5.2016 - 06. 5.2016 - The symposium aims at presenting and discussing the state of the art materials science investigations at the nanoscale on timely topics with a particular emphasis on the contribution of large scale facilities including synchrotrons, neutron sources and free electron lasers.

Moreover, recent progress in high pressure methodology and neutron scattering instrumentation provides a substantial increase in the experimentally accessible pressure range, steadily expanding to megabar scale.The aim of the Microsymposium is to discuss the present state-of-art of neutron scattering instrumentation for high pressure research and elucidate roots for further developments in the field. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=698 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=698 10.11.2016 - 11. 11.2016 - Defects and diffusion in solids: Application of new theoretical conceptsBunsen Colloquium on the occasion of the 75th birthday of Peter C. Schmidt.The past years have seen several Bunsen Colloquia devoted to reactivity as well as diffusivity in solids, topics that are of central importance in advanced materials research and engineering. This years Bunsen Colloquium continues this series. It focuses on defects and diffusion in solids and on the application of new theoretical concepts. Understanding the microscopic properties of solids at the level of defects and diffusion mechanisms is critical for understanding the macroscopic properties of materials. Ever more powerful supercomputers and superior program packages now allow the complex behaviour of atoms and ions to be studied. Approximations that were previously required can now be neglected due to improved algorithms, as will be discussed at this Colloquium. Topics to be covered are, for example, the explicit consideration of phonon-electron coupling in quantum mechanical calculations for electronic conductivity and the application of time-dependent DFT methods to materials research. https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=733 https://neutronsources.org/index.php?article_id=158&eventid=733 07.12.2017 - 08. 12.2017 - The NIST Bureau of Standards Reactor is celebrating its 50th anniversary of going critical on December 7, 2017.
