Dear All,

We are pleased to announce the 5^th Edition of the MAUD workshop in Caen, France:

*_Combined Analysis Using X-ray and Neutron Scattering_*, June 30th to July 4th, 2014

Registration deadline : June 15, 2014- Official language: English

The Combined Analysis methodology is an approach allowing to extract as maximum information as possible from x-ray, neutron and electron scattering patterns, x-ray specular reflectivity curves and x-ray fluorescence spectra:

-preferred orientations : ODF, pole figures,

-residual stresses: homogeneisation models of elastic tensors,

-microstructures: iso- anisotropic sizes and shapes, microstrains, distributions, faults,

-phase analysis: crystalline or mixtures of crystallines/amorphou),

-structures, compositions

-layers' thickness, roughness
...

It uses algorithmics allowing individual algorithms to interact with each others to reach a global minimum for simultaneously refine all parameters of interest. The Rietveld method serves the core of the methodology, and all is integrated in the user-friendly MAUD software, this latter being the used software all along the workshop.

Each analysis type will be first described, then integrated in the combined approach. Each day will be dedicated to one or two characterization types (texture, reflectivity...) and to its practice. Mornings will consist on theoretical sessions, and afternoons of practical rsessions on computers.

We encourage attendees to bring their own computers to ease future use when back home. All the educational materials will be downloadable prior to the workshop.

People working on time-consuming or hard to elaborate, rare, subjected to change under grinding or impossible to grind, films or multilayers... materials should be interested in this workshop. Personal examples could be brought to Caento be discussed and/or analyzed before or during the workshop. Please consult us on this subject for preliminary agreement of the organizers.


WARNING: we do privilege quality to quantity ! This would not be reasonable to accept more than 30 participants, pedagogically speaking. First arrived first served !
