About the School
The 2024 school will be held at Kennesaw State University, Atlanta GA
Venue address for lectures and tutorials:
KSU Event Center (Kennesaw State University 3333 Busbee Drive MD#3301 Kennesaw GA 30144)
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 Server
- Symmetry analysis using representation theory and the SARAh program and ISOTROPY Suite
- Refinement strategies using the FullProf Suite and GSAS-II
- Magnetic 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 Location
The workshop will be in-person and held at Kennesaw State University, Atlanta, at the Kennesaw Campus.
Software Downloads
FullProf, GSAS-II, ISOTROPY, ISOTROPY and VESTA software as well as those found in the BILBAO Crystallographic server, will be used for hands-on examples.
