[Neutron] Neutron symposium at IMRC XXII: ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED to MAY 12, 2013

[Dela Cruz, Clarina R.]

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MAY 12, 2013

Call for Papers: Advancing Materials Characterization with Neutrons, Symposium 5B, International Materials Research Congress XXII
August 11-15, 2013, Cancún, Mexico

Neutron scattering is one of the most powerful techniques for characterizing materials. The unique properties of the neutron compared to other probes, such as X-rays, make it especially suitable for the study of magnetic materials, hydrogen storage materials, oxides, alloys and intermetallics.  This symposium will draw together recent advances in instrumentation, sample environment and data analysis methodology to demonstrate how this technique is evolving to tackle complex problems in modern materials research studies.
