Dear All, You are cordially invited to attend the X-Ray Scattering Methods for Characterization of Advanced Materials Workshop, which will be held on December 4th 2009 as part of the MRS Fall conference. Registration for MRS Fall 2009 is not required to attend this workshop.
The purpose of this workshop is to give the attendees valuable tools to help unravel the structural and micro or nanostructural parameters of newly developed materials and/or devices. The leading experts on each x-ray diffraction and scattering methods will give a practical tutorial on each of the methods discussed here, starting from the basic principles and including practical examples. Case studies of materials characterization in various fields will be used to present the x-ray based analytical methods employed, including but not limited to: the phase identification, quantification, crystallographic structure, crystallite size and distribution, defect types, defect density, texture, residual stress, layer thickness, interface roughness, composition, relaxation, mosaicity, phase transitions and kinetics as a function of non-ambient conditions, local structure in nano-materials, particle size distribution etc. The workshop will conclude with a field trip to tour PANalytical's Applications Laboratory where you can see the latest developments in x-ray diffraction laboratory systems. Roundtrip transportation and refreshments are provided. The workshop provides a rare opportunity to learn from the leading experts in the field of x-ray diffraction and scattering, all in one event. Organizers and Instructors: Prof. Robert L. Snyder of School of Materials Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA; Prof. Tamas Ungar of Department of Materials Physics, Eötvös University Budapest, Hungary; Prof. Valeri Petkov of Department of Physics, Central Michigan University, USA; Dr. Andrew Payzant of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA; Prof. Scott Misture of Alfred Unviversity, NYS College of Ceramics, USA, Dr. Martijn Fransen PANalytical B.V., the Netherlands and Dr. Iuliana Cernatescu of PANalytical Inc.USA.
