ANSTO - AINSE Neutron School on Materials, 21-26 July 2008
This school will provide training for newcomers to neutron scattering focussing on important classes of structural and functional materials, e.g. concrete and geopolymers, magnetic materials, soft matter and biomaterials, and metals. We will not only have lectures but also practical sessions with hands-on experiments and data analysis. All neutron techniques (available at ANSTO) will be covered in the school, i.e. powder diffraction, single-crystal diffraction, strain scanning, small-angle scattering, reflectometry, and inelastic scattering using three-axis spectrometers.
This school is aimed at PhD students and post docs ? novice users, and will be limited to 30 people. Participants will be selected based on an abstract outlining an aspect of their scientific project to be presented as a poster at the school. Deadline for applications will be April 2008.
