Materials science in Scandinavia is foreseen to get a significant boost with the new sources at MAX IV and the European Spallation Source (ESS). These new facilities will significantly expand the analytical capabilities of researchers in the Nordic region. In support of this, the Advanced Powder Diffraction workshop is being offered with two aims:
1) To present the upcoming opportunities at ESS and MAX IV with respect to powder diffraction
2) To demonstrate the advanced analysis methods needed to analyse the non-standard diffraction data that can be obtained with new techniques.
Attendees of the second half of the workshop will have the opportunity to receive small-group training in two of the following programmes:
FOX DISCUS Magnetic diffraction
With a focus on small group sessions, students will have ample opportunity for dedicated hands-on training with instruction from highly experienced researchers. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own diffraction data for the workshop sessions.
A poster session is held to facilitate networking and collaboration.
Registration deadline 20th September 2017.
Welcome!
