PCG-SCMP Winter Meeting "The Crystallography of Functional Materials"

Our 2012 Winter Meeting at Cosener’s House will be held in Abingdon on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th November. The meeting will again be held jointly with the ISIS Crystallography User Group meeting and follow the popular format of previous years (see for example Winter 2011). There will be a poster session and the opportunity for a small number of junior researchers to give short oral presentations.

The closing date for registration is 29th October 2012.


Invited speakers so far are:

Peter Slater (Birmingham) "Structural studies of new ionic conducting electrolyte materials"

Isaac Abrahmas (QMUL) "Mind the Gaps - a Total Scattering Approach to Understanding Vacancy Ordering in Solid Electrolytes".

Jan-Willem Bos (Heriot-Watt) “Multiphase behaviour and kinetic constraints in half-Heusler thermoelectrics.”

Lucian Pascut (PANalytical Thesis prize winner) “A new theoretical mechanism to lift orbital degeneracy probed by resonant X-ray scattering”



We look forward to seeing you in November in Abingdon
