Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
We would like to remind you of our upcoming workshop “New Trends in
Magnetic Structure Determination”, to be held in Grenoble, at the
Institute Laue-Langevin, from 12 to 16 December 2016. We invite you
to visit our website <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://indico.ill.fr/indico/event/53/">https://indico.ill.fr/indico/event/53/</a>
for more details and application, which will be open until 15th
September 2016.<br>
<br>
Scientific scope:<br>
---------------------<br>
This workshop aims to contribute to the training of scientists in
the treatment of neutron diffraction data for magnetic structure
determination, putting the stress in the new improved methods and
tools made available in the last years. In particular, the methods
that make a combined use of magnetic symmetry groups and
representational analysis will be shown and practiced (both for
commensurate and incommensurate structures). The workshop will be
based on selected lectures together with intensive hands-on sessions
using the most popular computer programs (Isotropy Software Suite,
Bilbao Crystallographic Server, FullProf Suite, Jana2006, etc.). <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Lectures:<br>
------------<br>
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:

For the practical sessions, participants should bring their own
computers with FullProf Suite and Jana2006 already installed.<br>
<br>
Lectures and tutorials will be presented by Juan Rodríguez-Carvajal
(Grenoble, France), J. Manuel Pérez-Mato (Bilbao, Spain), Branton J.
Campbell (Provo, USA), Laurent Chapon (Grenoble, France), Harold
Stokes (Provo, USA), Vaclav Petricek (Prague, Czech Republic) and
Luis Elcoro (Bilbao, Spain)<br>
<br>
Participants:<br>
----------------<br>
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. <br>
The maximum number of participants is limited, which guarantees the
quality of the given training. The selection of candidates is based
on the motivation letter and CV (plus a recommendation letter from
the thesis supervisor for PhD students). If necessary, a criterion
of balance between laboratories and countries will be applied. <br>
<br>
<br>
Many thanks in advance for helping us in circulating this
information.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
