MAPEX-CF Workshop on Diffraction

September 4-6, 2023 AIB building (Hochschulring 40)
Registration is Closed.

Join us for a workshop on Diffraction! This event aims to foster connections among researchers who are involved in characterizing or aspiring to characterize the crystal structure and the atomic arrangement of their materials and compounds. In a condensed format, the workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of diffraction experiments and advanced structural characterization methods available at the University of Bremen and accessible large-scale facilities.

Aims and scope

Designed for early career researchers, this workshop caters to individuals who may not currently work with diffraction but envision utilizing this technique in future material characterization experiments. Key topics covered include:

  • Introduction to diffraction
  • Different probes: X-rays, neutrons and electrons
  • Bragg diffraction and it’s applications
  • Total scattering and local structure

Format

The workshop will take place from Monday September 4th till Wednesday September 6th, lunch time each, on the university campus. To enhance networking opportunities, a social gathering will be offered on the eventing of Tuesday September 5th. We are pleased to inform you that participation in this workshop is entirely free of charge. However, due to limited capacity, we can accommodate only 30 participants. Secure your spot now to ensure you don't miss out on this opportunity.
