Crystallographic Computing Schools
Every three years the Commission runs a Crystallographic Computing School at IUCr Congress.
On-line Newsletters of the IUCr Computing Commission
Since 2010, the Phenix group (mainly based at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in California) has been producing a newsletter with a similar name, but of particular interest to the protein crystallography community; it's available from http://www.phenix-online.org/newsletter.
This page is an historical archive of newsletters produced by the IUCr Computing Commission - available as PDF downloads.
Mandate and History
Establishment of a Commission on Crystallographic Computing (circa 1960)
After the close of the Fourth General Assembly, the Executive Committee appointed an ad-hoc Committee to consider what action the Union could take with respect to a number of questions raised at that Assembly concerning crystallographic computing. The final report of this ad-hoc Committee was sent to the National Committees in June as an appendix to the Agenda, and it is added to these Minutes as Annex I, Appendix C (b) (see p. 19).
Commission on XAFS
The Commission on XAFS was established at the Seattle General Assembly in 1996.
In the following by XAFS is meant the fine structure associated with the inner shell excitation (both near edge and extended) by various probes (e.g., absorption or scattering of X-ray, electrons), and related techniques for which the data is interpreted on the same physical basis.
Commission on Synchrotron and XFEL Radiation
The Commission on Synchrotron Radiation was formally established at the Bordeaux General Assembly in 1990.
Commission on Structural Chemistry
Introduction
The IUCr Commission on Structural Chemistry (IUCr CSC) is one of several International Union of Crystallography Commissions and is responsible for supporting activities relating to chemical crystallography. This page reports on those activities and provides historical and background information.
Created by J. Flippen-Anderson, Modified November 2005 by A. Bacchi, Last updated March 2011
Commission on Small Angle Scattering
The Commission represent the interests of the worldwide Small-Angle Scattering community, and collaborates closely with national small-angle scattering interest groups.
Commission on Quantum Crystallography
General Information
This Commission of the International Union of Crystallography focuses on experimental and theoretical work on charge, spin and momentum densities, and was originally known as the Commission on Charge, Spin and Momentum Densities. The current name was adopted in 2017 at the 24th General Assembly of the IUCr in Hyderabad. The aim is to combine experimental techniques, theory and computations to come to a coherent understanding of electronic charge, spin and momentum densities in atoms, molecules and condensed matter.
Commission on Powder Diffraction
The Commission on Powder Diffraction (CPD) was formed in 1987 and had its first meeting as a satellite to the main IUCr congress in Perth, Australia in that year.
Commission on NMR Crystallography and Related Methods
The Commission on NMR Crystallography and Related Methods was established at the Montreal General Assembly in August 2014.
