Magnetic Structure Determination from Neutron Diffraction Data (MagStr)
About the School***This year's school will be held at Kennesaw State University, Atlanta******Registration is open until June 14. Registration is free, but there is a limit of 40 attendees. Successful participants will be notified in June once registration closes.***The school will provide hands-on training and lectures on how to determine magnetic structures from powder and single-crystal neutron data. The techniques and theory of representational analysis and magnetic space groups will be introduced by leading experts and demonstrated in a series of hands-on examples.The format will follow past workshops with in-person lectures and hands-on demonstrations from experts in magnetic structure determination.Lectures and hands-on tutorial sessions will cover:Magnetic space groups using the Bilbao Crystallographic ServerSymmetry analysis using representation theory and the SARAh program and ISOTROPY SuiteRefinement strategies using the FullProf Suite and GSAS-IIMagnetic structure determination from powder and single-crystal data The school is intended for graduate students, postdocs, and research scientists who have a working knowledge of crystallographic refinement and will benefit from incorporating the techniques of magnetic structure determination from neutron diffraction into their research.Workshop LocationThe workshop will be in-person and held at Kennesaw State University, Atlanta, at the Kennesaw Campus.Software DownloadsFullProf, GSAS-II, ISOTROPY, ISOTROPY and VESTA software as well as those found in the BILBAO Crystallographic server, will be used for hands-on examples.Invited SpeakersBranton Campbell (BYU)J .Manuel Perez-MatoWilliam Ratcliff (NIST) Workshop OrganizersStuart Calder (caldersa@ornl.gov)Ovidiu Garlea (garleao@ornl.gov)Huibo Cao (caoh@ornl.gov)Clarina dela Cruz (delacruzcr@ornl.gov)
