2007 LANSCE Neutron School on Hydrogen in Materials

The Manuel Lujan, Jr. Neutron Scattering Center is organizing a neutron 
summer school on Hydrogen in Materials. The school will be held at the 
Lujan Center (Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545) July 
12-20, 2007.

The school is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in 
physics, chemistry, and materials science interested in the application of 
neutron scattering techniques (elastic and inelastic) to investigate the 
structure and dynamics of materials containing hydrogen. Senior 
undergraduate students and junior faculty members are also invited to 
apply. More details can be found at http://www.lanl.gov/ns2007 or by 
sending an e-mail to wnschool at lanl.gov or to one of the organizers listed 
below.

The lectures will cover an introduction to a variety of neutron scattering 
techniques (diffraction, small-angle scattering, inelastic scattering, and 
reflectometry), and will highlight recent development in hydrogen research 
as supported by neutron scattering. Hyrides, porous materials, clathrates, 
proton conductors and fuel cell materials, and other materials will be 
discussed. The formal lectures will be supplemented by hands-on experiments 
on five instruments at the Lujan Center to illustrate with important 
classes of hydrogen-containing materials the neutron scattering techniques 
presented during the school.

The 2007 LANSCE Neutron School is sponsored in part by the National Science 
Foundation and by the U.S. Department of Energy, Basic Energy Science. 
Financial support is available for participants. Attendance will be limited 
to 30 participants.
