For those who are interested in powder diffraction:
Ciao
Brett Hunter
2nd AINSE Symposium on Neutron Scattering
Powder Diffraction
Thursday 22nd June 2000
AINSE Conference Theatre
Lucas Heights
Sydney
Associated meetings in the same venue
Australian Neutron Beam Users Group
(Workshop on Thursday evening)
Friday 23rd June 2000
Australian Synchrotron Research Program Annual Users Meeting
First Circular and Call for Papers
The project to build a world-class neutron source and instrument suite to replace
HIFAR is underway.
Internationally competitive powder diffraction instruments are a high priority and
planning for
their development will start soon. This meeting is intended to provide a forum for all
Australian
researchers who now use or are interested in using neutron diffraction techniques on
powdered and
polycrystalline samples, here and overseas. The meeting will include an introduction
to powder
diffraction by an international expert, research papers and an opportunity to make
input
to the planning process for powder diffraction at the new research reactor.
The organisers cordially invite you to attend the Symposium to talk about your
research, techniques
and the future. We intend that the Symposium will be a valuable experience for
research students.
Invited Speakers:
Dr Alan Hewat, Head, Diffraction Group, Institute Laue-Langevin, Grenoble, France
Professor Klaus Yvon, Professor of Crystallography, University of Geneva, Switzerland
Symposium topics:
* Crystal structure solution
* Quantitative Phase Analysis
* Microstructure
* Residual stress
* Disordered and amorphous materials
* In-situ studies
* Instrumentation
