The School will address key advances in magnetic-structure research, as well as the foundational and state-of-the-art of theoretical, experimental, and computational capabilities that made these advances possible. The program, which includes both lectures and many hands-on-tutorials, is designed to engage both new and veteran members of the magnetic-structure community.

The school is targeted towards researchers interested in applying group theory to solving magnetic structures with neutron diffraction. The school will cover both representational analysis and magnetic space group approaches, and will include both lectures and software labs.

Topics will include

• Representational analysis of complex magnetic structures
• Symmetry and magnetic structure determination: developments in refinement techniques and examples
• Geometrical frustration and incommensurate magnetic ordering
• Magnetic structure refinement with neutron powder diffraction data using Fullprof, MODY, SARA, etc.

Â

The workshop is being hosted at the University of Maryland campus - participants can stay on campus for discounted prices.

Attendance is limited to 30 participants.

Early Registration deadline: 23rd May 2018

Magnetism 2018 is the premier conference organised by the UK and Rol magnetism community. It welcomes and encourages participation from Europe and further afield, and from industry. It follows the highly successful conferences that have been held annually since 2014.

A mixture of invited talks and submitted contributions will showcase the breadth of magnetism research in the UK and Rol covering the areas of thin films and nanostructures, spintronics, permanent magnetic materials, correlated electrons, nanoparticles and biological/biomedical applications of magnetism, computational magnetism and general magnetism.

Organised by the IOP Magnetism Group.

You are cordially invited to participate to the 6th TUNISIAN CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC MEETING (TCM6) by submitting a paper and actively assisting in its work.

TCM6 is intended to provide an excellent opportunity for National, Maghreb and International researchers to make their own work known to a wider audience and to have discussions with other participants. This conference will also be an opportunity to exchange experiences, create and consolidate cooperation between different research structures.

This outstanding conference, organized by the “Tunisian Crystallographic Association”, will take place from 1â€"5 November 2017 in a beautiful and exotic Hotel: El Mouradi Djerba Menzel 4* on Djerba Island, an ecological place, very popular by its palm groves, its beaches and its wetlands populated by various species of migratory birds.

The conference will expand to cover a broad set of research topics about:

• Crystal Structure of Materials, Nanoparticles and Minerals
• Chemical Crystallography
• Cements
• Thin films
• Magnetic order and its consequences
• Dielectrics and multiferroics
• Crystal structure relationships and their applications
• Semiconductor devices and their applications

Shanghai International Crystallographic School
working with Bilbao Crystallographic Server
http://www.cryst.ehu.es

The aim of the school is to provide an introduction to group theoretical methods and tools necessary for appropriate applications of symmetry properties in solid state material science. Special emphasis is given to tutorials on computational crystallography using the Bilbao Crystallographic Server (BCS) (www.cryst.ehu.es) for the study of specific problems in solid state physics, like phase transitions, and their symmetry-mode analysis, comparison between crystal structures, magnetic symmetry and its applications in the description of magnetic structures, etc. The applications of BCS tools to ab initio calculations is specifically discussed for the study of ferroelectric polarization in organic and inorganic crystalline structures, phonon properties and computational materials design by structure prediction.

The school is intended for scientists in Material Science, Solid State Physics and Crystallography in general and specifically for graduate students and young researchers interested in a deep and practical knowledge of group theory and crystallography as applied in material science. The maximum number of participant is limited to 70. Official language of the School is English. Location: The school will take place LeHu Hotel in Shanghai University (Baoshan Campus) http://www.lhljt.shu.edu.cn

Materials Genome Meets High Magnetic Fields

New Trends in Magnetic Structure DeterminationÂ

The lectures and tutorials will provide the essential tools necessary to determine complex magnetic structures, and show the most recent capabilities added to traditional software.

Lectures

The Workshop consists of 5 days dedicated to acquire a general overview of the methods of magnetic structure determination and analysis, in the frame of the specific free software presently available. A preliminary program can be consulted in the link below:

Participants

The school is aimed at PhD students and experienced scientists with a good knowledge of diffraction techniques and crystallography. As usual, among the participants there will be a mix of different levels of experience in using the different crystallographic tools (Isotropy Software Suite, Bilbao Crystallographic Server, FullProf Suite, Jana2006, etc.), therefore during this workshop both theoretical lectures and practical sessions will be combined to ensure an optimal benefit from this workshop.Â
