Dear All,
please not that abstract submission deadline has been extended to
the 31st of August 2007.
Workshop on Total scattering Pair Distribution Function analysis using
X-rays and neutrons:
powder diffraction and complementary techniques
ESRF, Grenoble, France, 22nd - 23rd October 2007
Traditional crystallography breaks down on the nanoscale and we need
complementary technique such as PDF for nanostructured materials. Today,
this is known as the nanostructure problem. Total scattering PDF analysis
from powder diffraction data cover areas of technological and material
science relevance, and it is specially successful in the investigation of
the atomic-scale structures of nanosized materials. The aim of the workshop
is to bring together people involved in the development and implementation
of the different Total Scattering data analysis strategies, for
generalising the availability of these methods, via the sharing of
knowledge, so that in the future this approach is routinely done together.
A session on the future needs for beamlines at the ESRF will be included.
The meeting will be hosted by the ESRF in Grenoble, France and will take
place on the 22nd and 23d of October 2007. The number of participants is
limited and application is open till 1st of October, 2007. More detailed
information, the course programme and instructions as to how to apply to
attend the meeting can be found in our web pages:

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding
this workshop. We look forward to seeing you in Grenoble!!
