The Italian and Swiss Crystallographic Societies, together with the Paul
Scherrer Institut, are pleased to announce the International Summer
School entitled:
Diffraction at the Nanoscale: Nanocrystals, Defective & Amorphous
Materials: A Hands-on Workshop on X-rays, Synchrotron Radiation and
Neutron Diffraction Techniques including Experimental and Computational
Aspects
to be held at the Paul Scherrer Institut, Villigen, CH, from May, 24th
to 30th, 2010;
School website: http://user.web.psi.ch/powder2010/
Main topics:
- Introduction to nanoscale-ordered materials in Chemistry,
Biochemistry, Material Sciences & Engineering
- Powder Diffraction from short-range ordered & defective materials
- Synchrotron and Neutron Powder Diffraction The Pair Distribution
Function (PDF) Technique: Principles and Methods
- The Debye Function Analysis (DFA) Technique: Principles and Methods
- LPA (Line Profile Analysis) of Nanopowders: Principles and Methods
- High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) Imaging of
nanoscale-ordered materials
- Coherent Diffraction Imaging (CDI) of nanoscale-ordered materials
Access to synchrotron measurements on your own samples will be possible!
Those you need financial assistance are kindly requested to follow the
deadlines indicated in the School Webpage, which are still open for
until the end of January. Full registrations will be possible only after
Februaty 5th.
Looking forward to seeing you in Villigen next spring,
Norberto Masciocchi (on behalf of the whole Organizing Committee)
