Time-resolved synchrotron X-ray total scattering gives access to the dynamic atomic structure during in situ and operando experiments providing access to multi-length scale information. Here the unusual redox properties of ceria-based catalysts are probed following the formation of an oxyhydride phase during the activation of hydrogen using X-ray total scattering and X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

Presenter: Dr Adam H. Clark from Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland

Organized by Bundesanstalt fur Materialforschung und -prufung and Diamond Light Source, UK.

Each in this series of online lectures on scattering and diffraction is free and can be attended via Zoom by to up to 100 attendees.

The lectures will be recorded and (with permission of the presenter) will be made available online afterwards for a broader educational reach.

The European High Pressure Research Group (EHPRG) was established in the sixties of the last century to support a development of both the basic as well as the applied high pressure research by the annual meetings. To create a close contact of all the workers in scientific and technological high pressure disciplines, the wide scope of the EHPRG conferences is traditional and characteristic feature of these meetings. A relatively rapid increase of high pressure activities in almost all areas of Physics, Geosciences, Material Research, Chemistry and namely in Biosciences during the last decades demands a similarly rapid exchange of knowledge in high pressure research and technology.

You’re invited to the 77th Annual Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), which is located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee (near Knoxville). The conference will take place over three days and feature sessions focused on all areas of diffraction, from powders to protein crystals. Topics will include emerging technologies/techniques, Total scattering, Magnetic scattering, and Integrative Structural Biology. The Chung Soo Yoo Award, established by the Pittsburgh Diffraction Society to honor Dr. Yoo’s memory, and a $400 cash prize will be given to the graduate student having the best poster presentation at the conference.

Following the success of the past editions (DESY 2016, Oxford 2013, Aussois 2011), the 4th international conference on Resonant Elastic X-ray Scattering will be hosted outside Europe for the first time.

Topics will include:

• Electronic orderings, magnetism, interfacial phenomena, quantum materials, soft matter, phase transitions and inhomogeneity;
• Symmetry, topology, artificial structures, reduced dimensionality, structure and dynamics;
• Coherence, imaging, nanodiffraction, reflectivity, polarization and energy analysis (REXS in RIXS);
• Instrumentation development, multimodality, diffraction limited sources and XFELs;
• Theory and simulation, modeling and data analysis.

Keeping updated on the latest trends in material science across a wide range of industries can be an intimidating task. Realizing this imperative, PRISM is set to organize International Conference on Materials Science and Engineering which is going to take place during September 16-18, 2019 at Melbourne, Australia with a view to promote awareness and enhance research aiming in developing solutions for the challenges encountered.

This materials science conference will provide an international medium to share and exchange the theoretical and experimental studies and research related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. It focuses on synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics.

Materials Oceania aims to bring together leading academic scientists, industrialist, research scholars, students, delegates and exhibitors to exchange and share their experiences, research results about all aspects of Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Chemistry and Physics. This engineering conference is also providing a platform to the companies and/or institutions to present their services, products, innovations and research results.

Meet the Objective Business sector with individuals from and around the globe concentrated on finding out about Materials science and Engineering, this is the best chance to achieve the biggest collection of members from all over the world. This materials science conferences in australia will lead you to get disperse data, meet with current, make a sprinkle with another product offering and get name acknowledgement at this occasion. Widely acclaimed speakers, the latest methods, strategies, and the most up to date overhauls in Materials science and Engineering are signs of this meeting.
